jul 3, 1952 - Execution of the Rosenbergs

Description:

The Rosenberg's were charged with passing atomic secrets to the Soviet Union. More evidence was found on Julius Rosenberg than on his wife. Either way both were found guilty of espionage and executed in 1952. This was very important because the U.S knew that any person within the United States could be a spy for the Soviet Union.
