INTERESTING 1970 YEARS

Women take the first place in politics: Isabel Martínez de Perón become the first woman President in Argentina in 1974 until being deposed in 1976, Indira Gandhi continuing as Prime Minister of India until 1977, Lidia Gueiler Tejada becoming the interim President of Bolivia beginning from 1979 to 1980, Maria de Lourdes Pintasilgo becoming the first woman Prime Minister of Portugal in 1979, and Margaret Thatcher becoming the first woman Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. The role of women in society was profoundly altered with growing feminism across the world and with the presence and rise of a significant number of women as heads of state outside monarchies and heads of government in a number of countries across the world during the 1970 s, many being the first women to hold such positions.

The 1970 s were perhaps the worst decade of most industrialized countries' economic performance since the Great Depression - the 1970 s were marked by the energy crisis which peaked in 1973 and 1979.

the Soviets, having failed completely in their attempt at manned lunar landings, canceled the program in 1972. By then, however, they had already begun Salyut, the world's first space station program, which began in 1971. This would have problems of its own, especially the tragic loss of the Soyuz 11 crew in July 1971 and the near-loss of the Soyuz 18 a crew during launch in April 1975.

FASHION 70 s began with a hippie style, and then to him mingled with disco and romantic style, a little sports and safari style.

MUSIC The early 1970 s saw the rise of many diverse forms of popular and rock musical styles, including jazz rock (aka "fusion"), southern rock, folk rock, and soft rock, with the latter including recording artists such as The Carpenters, Carole King, and James Taylor. It also included the rise of such popular, influential rhythm and blues (R&B) and Motown artists as Stevie Wonder, The Temptations, and The Jackson 5

Funk, an offshoot of Soul music with a greater emphasis on beats, influences from rhythm and blues, jazz, and psychedelic rock, was also very popular. The mid-1970 s also saw the rise of disco music, which dominated during the last half of the decade with bands like the Bee Gees, Chic, ABBA, Village People, Boney M, Donna Summer, KC and the Sunshine Band, etc. In response to this, rock music became increasingly hard-edged with British early metal artists like Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, and Deep Purple.

Experimental classical music influenced both art rock and progressive rock genres with bands such as Yes, Pink Floyd, The Moody Blues and Soft Machine. Hard rock and Heavy metal also emerged among British bands , Queen, UFO, Deep Purple. Australian band AC/DC also found its hard rock origins in the early 1970 s.

S. and in Europe, mostly because of reggae superstar and legend Bob Marley. The late '70 s also saw the beginning of Hip Hop music with disc jockeys like DJ Kool Herc and Afrika Bambaataa.
