Rosenberg Trials

The Rosenberg Trials refer to the legal proceedings against Julius and Ethel Rosenberg in the early 1950s. They were accused of secretly sharing top-secret atomic secret information with the Soviet Union during the Cold War, which aided their nuclear weapons program. Their trial garnered worldwide attention due to concerns about espionage and national security. In 1951, they were found guilty of conspiracy to commit espionage and sentenced to death. The Rosenbergs were executed in 1953, raising ongoing debates about justice, security, and the fairness of their trial, reflecting Cold War tensions and fears of communist infiltration.
