Chronicle Volume 1974

"We are world champions again" - the pride of winning the 10th World Cup in our own country knows no bounds. The policy of "internal reforms" that has been introduced leads to disagreement about the SPD's leadership style and undermines the authority of Chancellor Willy Brandt, which culminates in his resignation, triggered by the "Guillaume affair". The rapprochement between the two "superpowers" continues to progress: Brezhnev and Ford negotiate further disarmament measures and set a sign for an imminent end to the arms race. Young people find a new idol in Udo Lindenberg, who addresses their problems through music.

The chronicle shows these events, but it also shows how people lived back then and brings history to life. This makes the 1974 chronicle a unique gift.
