I think we are talking "boring" from an outside perspective.
The 1950s saw the Korean war, the Algerian war for Independence (where France mass murdered hundred thousand of civilians), we saw the end of the first Indochina War and the beginning of the Vietnam War, we saw the revolution in Cuba, we saw the first hydrogen bombs, the soviet Luna 2 was the first spacecraft to land on the moon, the cold war really picked up, NASA and CERN were established, the polio vaccine was invented, and so on.
The 1950s were far from boring for the world outside the US picked fence.
this is another good point actually, there were a good few conflicts in the time, both and numerous economic failures and recessions as well.
