The Year I was born

 I enjoyed reading arjeha's post with hints of the year he was born, so I have decided to use that as my inspiration today. So--

The year I was born-

• Queen Elizabeth II was crowned.
• Dwight Eisenhower became the 34th president of the U.S.
• The Korean War ended.
• The first Corvette was built!
• Jonas Salk creates the polio vaccine.
• Elvis Presley graduates high school
• Ernie Banks joins the Chicago Cubs, becoming the team's first Black player.
• Fahrenheit 451 is published

And a lot of other things happened! What year was it?
