Star Wars 

Historical Event: The Space Race (sub-event of The Cold War); during the years after WW2, this began when "Sputnik" was launched by Russia. Hence, "Star Wars" because the Russians launched a star into the sky to blot out the sun and start an Ice Age (hence "The Cold War").

"Mommy, what is Star Wars?"
"Shut up."
