1950 - The Cold War heats up

In 1950, apartheid is born
As a policy in South Africa
In Belgium, Leopold III is warned
He's seen as an ex-collaborator
Next year his son Baudouin will take over
Klaus Fuchs the spy confesses to the Brits
And later emigrates to DDR
Protests against Brit forces in Egypt's
Suez region. The Cold War now erupts
As North Korea crosses the line drawn
At the 38th parallel after
World War II. The UN desperately fights
To save the South. Communist China joins
In. Stalemate ensues for many a year
