- Опубликовано: 28 июл 2023
- This compilation of four M.A.D World episodes explores the events that shaped the early years of the Cold War and the nuclear age, from the first atomic bomb to Cuban Missile Crisis. A single bomb with the power of 20 000 tons of TNT flattens Hiroshima and creates a horrific burst of nuclear radiation. This terrible new weapon stuns the world and the nuclear age begins.

the best part was the war footage that completely blurred out way put it in if ur just going to blur it its history it should never be censored or it will repeat itself
I'm an hour and a half into the video and haven't heard one thing about Openhimer
The new title should be: "The evolution of the American military through conflict"
"The primary aim of modern warfare is to use up the products of the machine without raising the general standard of living"
- George Orwell
"George, you are an idiot!" - Eileen O'Shaughnessy, Orwell's first wife
@@lgrooms What wife hasn't said that? You could've made that up yet be 100% accurate at the same time.
The Pole (Lechian) was the father of atomic bomb working under... - Openhaimer was JUST AN DIRECTOR.
This documentary brought back all the nightmares of my childhood, I was born in March 1945 before Germany surrendered. We lived a couple of miles from Westover Air Force Base in Massachusetts and watched with dread as each greater bomb's radius of complete destruction crept ever closer to where we lived. In elementary school we had air raid drills and from the third floor of our school building we could see the SAC planes landing and taking off every 15 minutes. And then there was the horror of the Cuban Missile Crisis. This documentary brought back so many haunting memories of my youth, a small boy growing up in an insane world.

Now we know it was all a hoax. The Soviets put the Missiles in Cuba, but not with the intention to complete the mission. It was to force the USA to remove the Missiles from Poland, which the soviets felt a threat. The CIA did not discover the Missiles in Cuba on their own. it was leaked by the Soviets, which made Castro mad. The real heroes are the Captain second in command on the Russian ship who voted against a strike, and the USA hero who voted against hitting the Russian ship who continued toward Cuba. One person from the Whitehouse voted against the strike on the ship, turned out the ship's radio was not transmitting, so did not hear the order from Russia to turn back' It is all a game played by the leaders
My dad was born around when Germany surrendered. He was obsessed with watching footage of that era.
When I was in middle school, the planes hit world trade. Terrorism is what I grew up with.
These three hours of film and audio were absolutely worthwhile. This was an extremely well researched documentary.
better than the movie that's for sure
@@princeedmunddukeofedinburg I stilled loved the movie. I appreciate that the movie showed how dramatic and exciting scientific history can to be to a large new audience. Especially when the scientist pioneers are paving new roads. I hope this sparks newfound interest in STEM topics.
lies propaganda

Oppie agreed
"And destroyed it's usefulness to the enemy" that's an understatement to put it lightly
Resources like oil can be extracted no matter what...

I wish the news put out information like this in the current day. The media now is absolutely horrible. Misleading, divisive and very uninformative. Thank you for putting this out.
True, but much of this only came out many years after it happened. Some of it was on a 50 year timespan after the event, some still redacted. It's only recently that we are realizing near nuclear disasters that happened in the 50's and early 60's... done by our own military to US soil or to our allies. There are still rumors about weapons never reported. The F117 was reported years after being deployed, supposedly in the 80's. My friend told me about similar planes in Germany at hidden airfields in the 70's, but I wrote it off as "military talk". Similary a coworker talked about monitoring "pop up" nukes in the ground along Germany's border in the latter 80's. You just never know what's fake and what later turns out to be the truth... but none is reported at the time.
I think the reason for that is that most Americans don’t care about this type of stuff. This new generation isn’t interested in much other than themselves and how someone can’t help them.
Wow. I don't want to sound rude . But your absolutely wrong . News back then was no different from now. This was propaganda radio . Put it this way . Your not wrong but your damn for sure ain't right .
Yeah, that's the problem with any country at any point in history. Those who rule have a bad disposition of controlling anything media related. Definitely true today because yesterday was no different.
You should do an episode about Moe Berg. Hall of fame major league baseball catcher who was invited to have late night chat sessions with Albert Einstein, was turned US spy during WW2 and was involved in an assassination plot on Werner Heisenberg. That would be a great story to hear.
There was a movie made about his story.
@@levis503 I didn't know that, I would like to watch! What's the name?
@lorirussell6679 it's called the catcher was a spy.. Paul rudd plays moe
@@levis503 Thank you!
That sounds boring
What a great documentary. Well done.
Thank you (Time line) and (History Hit) for sharing this informative and attractive introduction
Excellent content. It's a shame that portions must be blurred out, so viewers won't be alarmed or disgusted. The choice of which parts of history are to be blurred is apparently made by how it makes people feel about [insert bad stuff here], or more colloquially , giving history's bad stuff the 'yada-yada-yada'. Shameful.
Most viewers don’t care that much. It’s corporate advertisers and then RUclips, in response, who will pull your video off or demonetize it if it’s too graphic or “disturbing”. It sucks.
The left and all tryants always try to re write history with them in it
Yeah; political correctness = ignorance.
People that can't handle history and the truth aren't really mature individuals.
We all don't mind dying, it just the thought of final pain that we are worried about, isn't it?
I would worry more about what happens after being dead, death of the body is not the end...
You mean, where our Soul goes for Eternity ? We're gonna soon find out. The Rapture is the next big Event.
@@jonathannixon8652 nice pipe dream😆🥁😆
@@firebald2915 the rapture is phony. Not every religion accepts it and there is no proof, now or in the future😆🥁😆
If your a puss, probably the going out pain, but typically it's who you leave behind I think. Unless your a lonely childless person, then yeah probably.
Phenomenal stuff excellent documentary
LIES, lies, lies.
Good content.
But why the loud music?
So you can't hear the narrator. Hope this helps.
Drama😆🥁😆
Great documentary. Phenomenal stuff excellent documentary.
Just one Trident 2 missile has almost 300x the power of the Hiroshima bomb. Just crazy. And even those are small in comparison to the big ones. 😢
they should have had Sheldon play Oppenheimer in the movie lmao even the thumbnail looks like him😂
Shxt movie
Nice😆🥁😆
It would be so nice😂😂😂!
If I could set the high school curriculum for the entire nation, I would make this video mandatory.
What, and miss out on potential time indoctrinating the students on left wing ideals? Better to suck the life out of our youth by telling them they are either oppressed or oppressor depending on their skin color and sexual identity.
It's nice. Very informative and factual
Having to blur war footage is BS. The footage helps non-coms understand that they never want to go to war. Like natzi camp footage doesn't glorify, but it helps to understand what happened
Natzi… seriously … 🤦♂️👍😂
I agree, it shows that we are all just sacks of meat that can be blown to pieces in a split second.
Anyone that is in favour of war doesn’t understand how fragile they are.
@@cameronsienkiewicz6364blame RUclips censorship
Now they're doing it with nature videos... they blur when an animal is tearing another animals flesh... they won't show an animals guts being ripped open and eaten...
كص😊
Perfect timing
Yep.
Saw the movie today.
Love these videos only if they stop blurring out some parts of the video.I want to see everything.
very nice thank you once again !
Great documentary
This is a very well done documentary very informative with a lot of images. Those journalist were heroes
This video has been posted by Timeline under a different tilte more than once.
rinsed and repeat

The way the radio/tv guys talked in the 40's is hilarious, just like Canadians on South park. Nobody else talks like them. Maybe they want to sound exceptionally proper. Lol
I want my 80's back please ...
I watch the entire thing And this was great.
Name the guy who narrated this, i want to know, he's great!. Phenomenal stuff excellent documentary.
Perfect timing. I understand so much now. Good doc.
What?
Good timing
Patton was right.
A very cool documentary misnamed because it covers way more than Oppenheimer.
Fact: Oppenheimer would not have been able to do what he did without Sir Samuel Curran from Glasgow, Scotland who doesn’t even get a mention in the movie.
Maybe he would have if the movie was called Curran
Because he's obsolete😆🥁😆
@charlessarver1637 Oppenheimer was not relevant in the situation without his work to assist.
thanks for this comment, I looked it up. good information: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Curran
I always wondered who was filming these guys landing and getting out of the capsule.
Thats a bit of a click bait title and thumbnail, isnt it? None of this is about Oppenheimer or even more than loosely about the Manhattan Project. 😉
why is there suddenly a movie about this dude? its like theyre priming us for ww3 or somthing?
Gotta keep the sheep living in fear.
@@michaelhunziker7287Ugh get some new material
I have much similar experience with sodium bicarbonate and what i have first handedly witnessed what happens when mere vinegar with the isotopeic valves of what can only be described as the isotopeic value that vinegar and sodium bicarbonate have. I first discovered this when I was handed a box of cereal and given how i expressed my dedication and curiosity at a very young age with such passion, I still remember it like it was yesterday. A miniature synthetic plastic volcano is what I was able to excavate from the lowest depths of a capt'n crunch or perhaps it was another general mills creation named Corn Pops. I won't get into specifics as I wouldn't want to influence anyone to ever be deemed any destroyer of clean indoor environments, but when I combined both these ingredients WITHOUT the suggested red food coloring, the same reaction occurred time and time again without the assistance of having anyone at such a young age. I have experienced other things in life too. I try not to reveal too much about how smart I am because of my own personal reasons that I already know what happened to Einstein and the Popenheimer when they too made their own discoveries according to science. Maybe. Maybe not as exact as a pundit propaganda mascot type of politician would hope to ever be able to not criticize me (Ronald Aaron Lopez) about. Or lol because? ...🪇/🤡?? Why?
The Atomic bomb ended the most brutal and costly war in human history. Nuclear weapons in the hands of the world's 2 Superpowers prevented a 45 year Cold War from becoming World War 3, a feat no other kind of deterence in the history of warfare can claim. Oppenheimer was asked by his Country to create a weapon it was feared may soon be in Hitler's hands. He succeeded in his task. He is a great American hero. If you believe Japan was ready to surrender at any point before the bombing of Nagasaki, I urge you to read the history detailing how Japan was preparing to fight to the last man if the Americans invaded and it was only the Emperor's order to surrender that finally ended the war.
J&M doing MJ 😃
Nicely done guys , perfect timing October! 🎃 Have a great Halloween 🎃
😎👍
OH: “I will create a big bomb. Oh no 🙉 the big bomb 💣 I created can kill people!”
How was he to know that the Germans, Japanese or Soviet Union wouldn't have gotten the bomb first?
That’s why, once built, the army took over, good example of separation of powers.
Watch this if you want to be interrupted by 50 ads!
4:13. Well, technically Truman was wrong here. The Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs were fissile bombs, where they split atoms. The sun is a fusion vessel, where they combine atoms to make a new atom, like the later developed hydrogen bombs. Both processes give off more than one neutron, which in turn splits or assists the fusion of other atoms, progressing the chain reaction.
SO?
Is that fissile or fission
Well done! A nice lesson on nuclear physics. Stars are created through fusion and the original atomic bomb was a fission reaction through the splitting of atoms😆🥁😆
Truman was just a dumb politician, not a scientist😆🥁😆
@@tonnitoedwards: Terms are used interchangeably.
There was at least one good lesson learned from Kent State, don't throw rocks at army men carrying machine guns.
“ I am death , destroyer of girls “🤣
Excellent video, thanks. I was reminded of how the master planner of D-Day lost some of his flair in dealing with USSR and the U-2 flights. His advisors and CIA let him down regarding the shooting down of Garry Powers. After US denials, Kruschev could have produced Powers at the Summit; saying- "Is this one of yours"?
6:45 We were in a "hot" war with Japan... hence Pearl Harbor and the Nukes.
History mayNOT repeat itself; but it rhymes at this very moment!!!
The music degrades what whould otherwise be a solid documentary.
Tq for your sharing
Way too many ads
How can you look at the casualties of Iwo Jima or any other island invasion and think that the Japanese mainland wasn’t going to be infinitely worse. The two bombs 💯 had everything to do with bringing the emperor to heal and saved hundred of thousands of lives on both sides.
The bomb was simply for science. And world war was the perfect time to test it
on ONE side, but yeah, what you said (mostly)
so you are saying killing children is alright... thats a madmans way of ending the war... innocent children
@Archangel3083 What a shockingly wrong comment, and a perfect example of why we see so much trouble in this world, today. Seriously, you people have so much to answer for, while you just have no idea about anything real or factual. As someone with a Master's in comparative politics & Economics, and a Bachelor’s in Anglo/American history, I can tell you, the most common question asked by so many history students at University is...
"Why don't the Americans know anything at all about their own history, or the history of this world?".
We've even seen debates held on exactly this subject, and the findings of those debates showed us, the Americans have a very different version of history than the rest of the world, many times subtly different, but others completely different, this being one...
@Archangel3083
10 days ago (The two bombs 💯 had everything to do with bringing the emperor to heal and saved hundred of thousands of lives on both sides.
Anyone that studies world history will know this, but anyone can merely just go and look it all up. The USA committed the most cowardly, brutal act of human history, by murdering near on a million civilians, with a nuclear attack TWICE on civilian targets! And then the lies as we can now see today?. For a start, the numbers they claim are utterly ridiculous and less than half the true amount of innocent people murdered,
Secondly, the USA claimed Japan surrendered after the second nuclear bomb, yet that's a provable outright lie, and it's not true. The truth is, the Japanese only surrendered after Stalin had kept his promise to invade East Asia, and the Soviets had crushed the Japanese. That, alone, ended all of Japan's hopes of getting Stalin to act as a mediator, for a conditional surrender. And it was only then, the Japanese surrendered, as we can now see said by many people of the time. It's actually undeniable, as the timing of the surrender proves It, the USA stupidly forgot the time zone differences. Look it up. It was, indeed, just another American lie.
When they won't surrender and teach the kids to fight and suicide bomb then sometimes its necessary to take out their whole lineage to bring peace and stability back to the region
That´s why past generations have lived breathless, waiting for rockets crossing the sky. ¨THE DAY AFTER¨ is a light version of life after an attack...
thanks you❤
I understand so much now. Good doc
How?
26:02 this dude really thought it was a good idea to go with that stache huh? 😂
P
Now this is something to sleep to lovely And relaxing
1:34:15 he is wrong. The largest bomb was 50 Mega Tons, it was known as the tsar Bomba. Best design was capable of a hundred megatons but was scaled back by half. This is very well-known to have been and fifty megaton detonation. Tsar Bomba design was capable of a 100 megaton detonation But was scaled back due to a concern of fall out and unintended blast damage. Even at just fifty megatons it blew out windows ridiculously Far away knocking people off their feet fifty miles from the explosion. The pilot and crew that dropped the bomb barely escaped with their lives.
Anyone wondering if Oppenheimer had to keep a secret that made him very angry?
I don't see oppenheimer as ever being an angry man. I think he might have been a little confused about the direction the world should be taking àfter the Manhatten project was completed and the nuclear bomb was unleashed😆🥁😆
When Oppenheimer took care of the research part of the bomb all that remained was the dropping of it. Truman was in a position of strength but also one that had never before been felt. I'm sure the scientists behind the bomb, i.e. Oppenheimer et al probably felt like they were an afterthought as it wasn't they who ordered it to be dropped.
1:17hr still not heard about Oppenheimer
They got the date of the building of the Berlin Wall wrong!
very interesting video
As a Canadian this was NEVER an issue. We spent NO time under our desks at school! Gotta LOVE CANADA!
Name the guy who narrated this, i want to know, he's great!
Presidential immunity? No thanks
when this was disclosed by the British to the USA, General Groves was put in charge of making the Abomb. The main effort was to Isolate U235; once a critical mass was isolated a bomb could be made. Oppenhiemer was selected by Gra oves to lead the bomb designers. He was merely a manager. He recruited many experts to do the specific jobs. The U235 bomb was a fairly simple gun design. Ernst Lawrence however found that Plutonium could fission like U235 but could be more easily extracted by chemicals. The Plutonium bomb required a more complicated implosion bomb. Oppenheimer did little screening of personnel and had lax internal security; so may wspys got into the project and he may well be held responsible for the leaks to Russia of secret information. Oppenheimer's role was minor
Oppenheimer knew who the commies were And probably knew who the spy or spies were without possibly passing anything useful for the enemies
Minor ? Not to Oppenheimer. That man suffered greatly for years afterward.
Oppenheimer was the driving force behind the development of the bomb. Present in every step of it's development because he believed Germany may be progressing ahead of them. He was more than a manager.
Merely a manager? Way to completely undersell the man's achievements in science.
Really? Back to school with you ....

They failed to mention in the film the date Germany had surrendered
Imagine what these two world powers would have done working together? the world would be much safer and more advanced. It is not too late for peace and working together if it were not for elites with power ambitions
Somehow I thought this video was going to be about Oppenheimer and the Bomb. Instead it's 3 hours of good old-fashioned red-baiting, and nothing to do with Oppenheimer and the Bomb. 1/10 would retitle to something like: "Capitalism Good, Communism Bad; The Early Years of the Cold War"
Go live in North Korea and enjoy your Communism then 😂
May Peace Prevail On Earth
Jackcorbos - you evidently don't know very much about Abomb history. in 1939 Germans used slow neutrons to cause fission on Urainum, this gave rise to speculation that a chain reaction might be capable of a bomb or reactor. In 1942 Germans working in England determined the U235 isatope was responsible for this slow neutron fission, and if isolated could result in a portable bomb - "invented" the bomb. When this

Still waiting for the part about nukes

Timeline should emphasize the dates of the historical events. I didn't get the dates of Hungarian uprising & the date of hydrogen bomb testing, when it was developed. It is very important like August 06 of Hiroshima after that Timeline is not giving dates ....Then Timeline comes on line with calendar November 1956 in Cuba ...
Love the old footage. The Premier of Lithuania wound up a blue collar worker in NJ proves disruptions can happen and will again. Who will wind up on top? Knobody knows.
Why isn't there a Manhattan Project going on right now for General A.I? This is even more powerful and important than the atomic bomb.
Who says that it isn’t?
Well find out on Oct 4 th
'The bomb has been used on humans twice'. For one, don't forget the population at the Bikini Atoll in the Marshall Islands.
I heard 80,000 people maybe up to 100,000 killed right away and 40,000 burned on the first Bomb
1:30:55 Far from inhabitation huhh?? the kids of those islands at school sing songs about how there now scared the bombs... but you know they are.
What song starts at 7:20?

2:27:32 Who is Jack F. Kennedy? I just see Robert F. Kennedy
The expert that says that Russia's entry into the war "that same week" is blinding himself to the fact that Russia refused to enter the war against Japan even after Germany surrendered.
But when there was territorial demands by Russia against Japan for some islands north of Japan, didn't Russia move troops into those islands then asked Japan to give them up? General MacArthur wanted to Free those islands from the Soviet Union, but President Truman refused.
Therefore, that expert does not know the historical facts. Russia is opportunistic; President Truman & Général MacArthur wanted to save American lives. The Atomic weapons were the only solution, then.
