Events

 * Franklin discovers that the DNA molecule has some kind of helix shape.
 * In the wake of experiments involving birth defects, a fight breaks out among the Progenitors when the Genegineers declare themselves to be the only true scientists, and that Pharmacopeists are no better than witch doctors or Verbena.
 * Yurikazi Ishiwa comes to America seeking an education.
 * An agent named Karpov performs an assassination outside a subway in Bulgaria. As his target leaves the platform, Karpov bumps into him, drops his newspaper as a distraction, and as he picks it up, presses his umbrella tip into the target's thigh. The umbrella shot a poison-covered pellet into the target. Karpov was later apprehended. The incident is later given as a possible example of "coincidental magick" by the New World Order. These "gadgets" become popular among agents during this decade.
 * John Eaton Simcoe and some of his Syndicate friends form Dominion Gaming Group.
 * Void Engineers stretch beyond the solar system.
 * DSEATC cuts the size of the LERMU construction pool, and test runs begin to be more closely monitored.
 * The FBI Special Affairs Division's investigations of paranormal activities this decade may have uncovered some mage-related information.
 * Dag Hateful Hand, homid Ahroun of the Get of Fenris is born somewhere in this time in Germany. He will eventually become War Chieftan of the South Ward in the Amazon War.
 * Glass Walkers begin making an effort to be present in Australia; prior to this, the country was considered too rural for the tribe to make themselves known in significant numbers.
 * Graham Daly, father of Roger Daly, continues his leadership of the Glass Walkers of Vancouver throughout the 1950s.
 * The Nagda-Rackbur War of the Khan, a conflict between Lord Rackbur and Sultan Amir Nagda of that tribe of Bastet rages and ends somewhere during this decade, having begun in 1947. The war escalates until the sultan abuses the tribal secrets of his people to slay a great many of his enemy's forces; horrified, the Bagheera assemble a war party and take the errant sultan down. By the end of the war, around 100 Khan had died along with a multitude of Kinfolk, leaving less than 20 of the tiger shifters alive worldwide, and the sultanate of the Khan ended with the treacherous Amir Nagda.
 * The werewolf known as Guttooth or the “Priest of Gaia” (a lupus Theurge of the Shadow Lords) was likely born in this decade.

Early 1950s

 * An Iteration X construction team lays the foundations of the prison realm MECHA early this decade.
 * Roger Daly, son of Graham Daly, begins to hone his business skills as his father continues to lead the Glass Walkers of Vancouver.
 * Montgomery Abercorn, homid Ahroun of the Silver Fangs, arrives in Canada from his home in Hong Kong to seek his fortune. He will make his way to the Forest Ghosts Sept near Vancouver, and quickly ascend to leadership there.

Late 1950s

 * By late this decade, the Masses begin to suspect the activities of the Void Engineers.
 * Late in the decade, an entire generation of scientists learn to find unity in the vision of the Computer, fulfilling one of the dreams of Iteration X.
