2 important things I learned: 1, Bill Clinton's quote to Gorbachev "not one inch east" was referring to Germany, not NATO as a whole. 2, It's not the NATO made Putin's efforts for peace difficult, they just didn't respond. Honestly a really good video, other than Kuwait being omitted from the video, but then, it wasn't that NATO was involved, it was merely just NATO members, which Kuwait was not one of.

"From Nato to the U.N. and the E.U., the generation that lived through the first half of the 20th century knew they needed to create a new world order. An order with rules and institutions which, however imperfect, could act both as constraints on individual countries going rogue and as catalysts for co-operation for mutual benefit" --Ed Davey
on that line Nato and the U.N failed both being used as ways for a strong U.S to justify invading anyone who looks at it funny its ironic the U.S like saying rogue state but is itself largely one

I love your videos because they go very thoroughly over well known events, and therefore uncover tons of details I've never heard about, for instance I have never heard of the 1948 Czech coup, Nato sending aid to Pakistan and Darfur, article 5 being triggered after 911, and Greece leaving the command structure of NATO.
You must have heard of it - the February 1948 - communist coup that established totalitarianism. The Czechia (Czechoslovakia) has ceased to be a Western country. However, what is new about the video is that Russia has called on Ukraine to be neutral (2022). That would be against the interests of Russia, which did not say that, at most in its propaganda somewhere in Moscow :)
@@DL-kc8fc I haven't heard of the czechoslovak coup beforehand. Of course I knew they were western and democratic before ww2 and were communist afterwards, but I always just assumed they had communist governments installed by the soviet union, such as in Poland, Hungary, Bulgaria, etc
@@smorcrux426 Yes, Czechoslovakia was democratic before the war, and in a short episode after it. It can be said that the last democratic elections were used by the Communists as well as Hitler in pre-war Germany. By 1989, the elections were no longer free (I experienced that). The communist coup averted the Russian occupation, which did not occur until 1968. The Soviet Union feared that a democratic establishment was forming in Czechoslovakia. Under the pretext of cleansing from Western collaborators and the resistance, there was an invasion led by a Russian general, whose statue was recently removed from Prague. That is why the map of Czechoslovakia in the post-war years is in a different color - we could not be part of the Soviet military pact that attacked us. Austria was lucky in the disaster - the Soviet Union commanded it to disarm and neutrality. Austrian citizens liked the neutrality so much that they incorporated it into the constitution in the 1990s.
@M Y T H I C A L N O V A There is one translation error (1989 was already a free election), but otherwise there is nothing to explain on historical facts.
@@smorcrux426 Not exactly. Communists were popular even before the war and after the ww2 became drastically more popular. They weren't really a pupet state because a lot of conflicts actually happened between them especially in the end if Stalin era which makes it more interesting.
A bit disappointed that there was no mention of the Yugoslav-Soviet split in 1948, when Yugoslavia proclaimed itself to be non-aligned and adopted a different, more left-wing style of socialism in the coming years. It was quite a tense period, but after Stalin's death, Khruschev reconciled with Yugoslavia, which was now in okay terms with both the West and the East.

How come you didnt add how in 1955, before creating the warsaw pact, the USSR was rejected in their attempt to join NATO. Id say thats a pretty big part in history that has given us the world as we know it
Why would have they allowed USSR to join tho? Main threat of Europe has always been Russia/USSR, and NATO was formed because USSR was a asshat country like Russia still is. If US tried to join Warsaw Pact, I don't think USSR would have allowed that.
@@leevikaunismaa9652 tell me you dont know geopolitics without telling me you dont know anything bout geopolitics. It was Churchil who had a massive anti USSR boner and nearly started ww3.

@@Pierre-Rambal_Cochet Germany is corrupt, they depend on Russian gas and oil, HEAVILY, it gives them an unfair advantage against other countries(cheap gas and oil) so thats why they blocked Ukraine NATO and EU bid. And they will keep doing it. IF anyone is responsible of Ukraine's war is Germany. Mr Scholz was even a board member on russian pertol export company. Germany is rotten
@@abuzarAQ3 I'll add 3 things to what Cochet said: 1) Finland's military equipment and command structure is much more "interoperable" with NATO forces than Ukraine (even during the Cold War, Finland relied on military equipment that was either Western, or designed to be sold to Western countries, such as certain Swedish weaponry. On the other hand, Ukraine was part of the USSR and used exclusively Soviet equipment. It takes time to transition to Western arms, or modify existing ones to work well with Western equipment - not to mention modernizing everything so it doesn't become obsolete) 2) A big part of the reason why some NATO nations didn't want Ukraine to join was because they were trying to prevent a war with Russia. Now that Ukraine (but not NATO) *has* an all-out war with Russia, which they may actually win (with NATO support - even without direct NATO intervention) the situation has changed. When this war is over, NATO nations will likely try to fast-track the entry of whatever's left of the Ukraine into the Alliance. 3) Finland hasn't been seriously considering membership quite as long as Ukraine, and has only jumped on board *after* this war started. If they had tried earlier, they likely would've been rejected for the same reasons that the Ukraine has been stalled. Finland and Sweden were rather committed to neutrality until recently. It was only in 2014 that a bare majority (or plurality - I forgot which) supported NATO membership - and that was only according to polls, not an actual vote. Because of the war, membership is much more popular in Sweden and Finland. There probably was never a time when Finland would be allowed to join and the Ukraine would not be allowed to join. It's sort of an "apples-to-oranges" comparison.
@@abuzarAQ3 I should add one more thing about why Ukrainian membership in NATO would be more offensive to Russia than Finish membership: their shared history. Finland has not been a part of Russia since the end of World War I, whereas the Ukraine has only been fully independent for 30 years. That didn't stop the Baltic states from joining NATO, which are also former members of the USSR, but the Ukrainians are also much more ethnically similar to the Russians than the Finns, Estonians, Latvians and Lithuanians (especially the Finns). The Muscovite Rus actually branched off *from* the Kievan Rus during the Middle Ages, there's a sense in Russia that they're basically One People (there's even an English word that academics use to refer collectively to the Russians, Ukrainians and Belarusians - "Ruthenian") EDIT: I should add the Peter the Great was called "Emperor of *All* the Russias," by which was meant the Ruthenian countries. My understanding is that each of the czars who succeeded him, up until the Revolution inherited that title.
Fun Fact, literally the only reason why United Nations was able to send any sort of aid to South Korea at the time was because USSR was boycotting them. If the USSR was there, they would've vetoed and the UN wouldn't have be able to send anything to help South Korea
Actually he skipped the invasion of moldova and georgia by russia, and the unofficial invasion of Dombass in 2014. Nato is all about protecting ourselves from the hordes marching from Moscow

I think this video lacks on information about: - Austria neutrality otherwise it would become like Germany - why did Ukraine and Geórgia not join NATO (while other countries like Macedonia did) - the georgia russian war
@@Sceptonic Ukraine did not have unresolved territorial disputes in 2008, that wasn't until 2014. I think that's what the OP meant. What I've heard on the matter is this: Part of NATO membership is integration. Due to how much Soviet-era equipment the Ukraine has, it was estimated that - even as late as 2020 - it would take years for Ukraine to achieve sufficient interoperability with NATO (they had been receiving significant imports and gifts of NATO weaponry ever since 2014, but it still wasn't enough; I also don't mean to say that no Soviet equipment is sufficiently interoperable, but it does need to be modified and modernized. EDIT: I should add that Finland and Sweeden are much closer to being integrated with NATO, so their membership path should be relatively quick.
It also would've been interesting to talk about what took Macedonia so long to join - there's was a dispute with Greece that was holding it up. (As for Montenegro - no NATO member objected to its entry, but they traditionally have had close ties with the Serbs, even splitting with Yugoslavia peacefully, so they perhaps felt that they didn't need to join NATO).

@@stephenjenkins7971 This video omits the part where the US as part of NATO broke the UN embargo on Yugoslavia and secretly smuggled weapons and jihadists in. This was reported in _TheGuardian._ Which jihadists? The Afghan mujahedeen. A US official closely involved later said on PBS that it was actually ALQaeda. Later in Kosovo Yugoslavia was fighting the KLA, which trained in AQ camps. NATO responded by bombing Yugoslavia, often with uranium or cluster bombs and on civilian centers - hospitals, a train, radio station, a marketplace, and even China's embassy. This event changed Russia and China from neutral to hostile. Most in the West are oblivious to how big this was even though both countries continue to bring it up.
@@hermanwooster8944 You're omitting important facts here too. UN sanctions on Yugoslavia has no effect on nations that seceded from Yugoslavia, thus has no application on the likes of Croatia, Montenegro, or Kosovo for example; thus nations trading with these new countries did not break with the UN over anything. Also, the US didn't smuggle anything to these countries to begin with, or jihadists, what is this insane BS you're spouting here? The KLA has connections with jihadists, I'm sure; but they're not literal jihadists as their goal was an independent Kosovo; not the creation of Islamist principles. And it was the Bosnian Genocide and the later authoritarian actions of the Yugoslav government that forced the US to step in via bombing them to cease their actions. If stopping genocide made Russia and China hostile, then maybe that's a problem with them for being so pro-genocide. Edit: Also, this video talked about nothing in regards to that. Just admit that you're a fascist imperialist and be done with it; because you're making up a bunch of crap and unironically defending the ones committing genocide here.
Overall great video. One thing is missing though. Russia has applied to join NATO multiple times (not joke) and that part of story is completely ignored in this video.
If Russia joins NATO, then it will be one NATO.. you cant loot a country that is part of you.. NATO needs partners to help break Russia to pieces and loot it! this is modern warfare.. they know if they can break Yugoslavia and other bigger countries, then they can break China and Russia too, UAE, SAUDI and others are keeping notes about these events, they are starting to sell properties in London as we speak, they know they are NEXT... first, the US will start calling them "Dictator Regime".. and it begins! it always begins with propaganda
There is a mistake in this movie, in the part, when the movie describes fall of communism in Europe. It says that communist Poland and Warsaw pact lasted until 1991, whereas Poland became a free country in 1989.
Although the Warsaw Pact became practically defunct in 1989, it didn’t officially dissolve until March-July 1991 (with the exception of East Germany leaving in 1990, as shown in the video). In a similar way, the USSR practically ceased to exist after most of the republics declared independence following the August coup of 1991, but it wasn’t officially dissolved until December of that year.
Excellent video, informative and objective. One small note: the Italian flag at min. 04:01 is wrong: it is the one of the Kingdom of Italy (note the Savoy family emblem within the flag’s white stripe). That flag was replaced by the current one (with three clean stripes of color) in 1946, when after a referendum Italy became a republic. So, in 1951 Italys flag was definitely without the former royal family emblem.
That was the original purpose at the end of ww2, when the geopolitical context was way different. It has changed a lot since and Germany is well and fully integrated into Nato.

I love your videos because they go very thoroughly over well known events, and therefore uncover tons of details I've never heard about, for instance I have never heard of the 1948 Czech coup, Nato sending aid to Pakistan and Darfur, article 5 being triggered after 911, and Greece leaving the command structure of NATO.
You must have heard of it - the February 1948 - communist coup that established totalitarianism. The Czechia (Czechoslovakia) has ceased to be a Western country. However, what is new about the video is that Russia has called on Ukraine to be neutral (2022). That would be against the interests of Russia, which did not say that, at most in its propaganda somewhere in Moscow :)
@@DL-kc8fc I haven't heard of the czechoslovak coup beforehand. Of course I knew they were western and democratic before ww2 and were communist afterwards, but I always just assumed they had communist governments installed by the soviet union, such as in Poland, Hungary, Bulgaria, etc
@@smorcrux426 Yes, Czechoslovakia was democratic before the war, and in a short episode after it. It can be said that the last democratic elections were used by the Communists as well as Hitler in pre-war Germany. By 1989, the elections were no longer free (I experienced that). The communist coup averted the Russian occupation, which did not occur until 1968. The Soviet Union feared that a democratic establishment was forming in Czechoslovakia. Under the pretext of cleansing from Western collaborators and the resistance, there was an invasion led by a Russian general, whose statue was recently removed from Prague. That is why the map of Czechoslovakia in the post-war years is in a different color - we could not be part of the Soviet military pact that attacked us. Austria was lucky in the disaster - the Soviet Union commanded it to disarm and neutrality. Austrian citizens liked the neutrality so much that they incorporated it into the constitution in the 1990s.
@M Y T H I C A L N O V A There is one translation error (1989 was already a free election), but otherwise there is nothing to explain on historical facts.
@@smorcrux426 Not exactly. Communists were popular even before the war and after the ww2 became drastically more popular. They weren't really a pupet state because a lot of conflicts actually happened between them especially in the end if Stalin era which makes it more interesting.
A bit disappointed that there was no mention of the Yugoslav-Soviet split in 1948, when Yugoslavia proclaimed itself to be non-aligned and adopted a different, more left-wing style of socialism in the coming years. It was quite a tense period, but after Stalin's death, Khruschev reconciled with Yugoslavia, which was now in okay terms with both the West and the East.
Man, the video is already 15mins long. They don't have to mention everything. Besides isn't this the reason Yugoslavia is not colored red in the map?

First time I've ever seen a history video that I'm currently loving through.
i highly recommend you to watch "oversimplified". It´s a completely different style, but it´s pretty funny
How come you didnt add how in 1955, before creating the warsaw pact, the USSR was rejected in their attempt to join NATO. Id say thats a pretty big part in history that has given us the world as we know it
Why would have they allowed USSR to join tho? Main threat of Europe has always been Russia/USSR, and NATO was formed because USSR was a asshat country like Russia still is. If US tried to join Warsaw Pact, I don't think USSR would have allowed that.
@@leevikaunismaa9652 Because if they joined they would not be a threat would they bright spark, they would be an ally
@@leevikaunismaa9652 tell me you dont know geopolitics without telling me you dont know anything bout geopolitics. It was Churchil who had a massive anti USSR boner and nearly started ww3. Asshat country lmfao. NATO was created before warsaw pact. If anything NATO was a direct threat to the union which made them create the warsaw pact. If the us and nato actually wanted peace ussr wouldve been included. But no, its more profitable for the military industrial complex to have an enemy
@@rageraleks I mean Russia is an asshat country, has been the main problem of europe for decades, and still is. And true not really against USSR but more against Communism, but there is nothing you can say that could make Russia/USSR look good, they have always been sh*t, always will be, just a fact of life
You mustn’t know the history behind this fact. Russia new it would get rejected, they applied for an organization who’s purpose for being created was to fight against… Russia. They wanted an excuse to make the Warsaw pact
13:17, Russian prevented Georgia to join NATO by invading whereas Germany blocked Ukraine to be in NATO.
screw you german government, that was a HUGE mistake
but why did Germany blocked Ukraine?
but can finland be allowed and not Ukraine?
@@Pierre-Rambal_Cochet Germany is corrupt, they depend on Russian gas and oil, HEAVILY, it gives them an unfair advantage against other countries(cheap gas and oil) so thats why they blocked Ukraine NATO and EU bid. And they will keep doing it. IF anyone is responsible of Ukraine's war is Germany. Mr Scholz was even a board member on russian pertol export company. Germany is rotten
@@abuzarAQ3 I'll add 3 things to what Cochet said:
1) Finland's military equipment and command structure is much more "interoperable" with NATO forces than Ukraine (even during the Cold War, Finland relied on military equipment that was either Western, or designed to be sold to Western countries, such as certain Swedish weaponry. On the other hand, Ukraine was part of the USSR and used exclusively Soviet equipment. It takes time to transition to Western arms, or modify existing ones to work well with Western equipment - not to mention modernizing everything so it doesn't become obsolete)
2) A big part of the reason why some NATO nations didn't want Ukraine to join was because they were trying to prevent a war with Russia. Now that Ukraine (but not NATO) *has* an all-out war with Russia, which they may actually win (with NATO support - even without direct NATO intervention) the situation has changed. When this war is over, NATO nations will likely try to fast-track the entry of whatever's left of the Ukraine into the Alliance.
3) Finland hasn't been seriously considering membership quite as long as Ukraine, and has only jumped on board *after* this war started. If they had tried earlier, they likely would've been rejected for the same reasons that the Ukraine has been stalled. Finland and Sweden were rather committed to neutrality until recently. It was only in 2014 that a bare majority (or plurality - I forgot which) supported NATO membership - and that was only according to polls, not an actual vote. Because of the war, membership is much more popular in Sweden and Finland. There probably was never a time when Finland would be allowed to join and the Ukraine would not be allowed to join. It's sort of an "apples-to-oranges" comparison.
@@abuzarAQ3 I should add one more thing about why Ukrainian membership in NATO would be more offensive to Russia than Finish membership: their shared history. Finland has not been a part of Russia since the end of World War I, whereas the Ukraine has only been fully independent for 30 years. That didn't stop the Baltic states from joining NATO, which are also former members of the USSR, but the Ukrainians are also much more ethnically similar to the Russians than the Finns, Estonians, Latvians and Lithuanians (especially the Finns). The Muscovite Rus actually branched off *from* the Kievan Rus during the Middle Ages, there's a sense in Russia that they're basically One People (there's even an English word that academics use to refer collectively to the Russians, Ukrainians and Belarusians - "Ruthenian")
EDIT: I should add the Peter the Great was called "Emperor of *All* the Russias," by which was meant the Ruthenian countries. My understanding is that each of the czars who succeeded him, up until the Revolution inherited that title.

Fun Fact, literally the only reason why United Nations was able to send any sort of aid to South Korea at the time was because USSR was boycotting them. If the USSR was there, they would've vetoed and the UN wouldn't have be able to send anything to help South Korea

the iron curtain did not include yugoslawia. The later was actually slightly hostile to the soviet block and had pretty open borders towards western countries and solid economic ties.
Albania also also wasn't part of the soviet block though they definitly had their own little iron curtain. They had a more North Korean system and have been extremely isolated from all their neighbours. Just to give you an example, after the fall of comunism in albania I met several albanians asking me if humans really landed on the moon or where utterly baffeled when they saw a television set.

40 years without ever having to engage in combat. That is a funny statement XD
Wow this was excellent, just enough deatil but not too much to make it overwhelming. Thank you!
Video is good even if its is lacking of some details..but really a good video. Moral of the whole (known) story: from the '90 Nato from a defensive alliance "seems" to have become an offensive alliance...
Unfortunately it's not an alliance anymore. It is a burden. An obligation to follow "big bro" and do whatever he says, even if we get hurt.
@@Bullshlaha indeed, I agree with you. Only few countries would be able to leave this chain, like France once did it, but all the rest no way...
An offensive alliance that, to this day, has never started a war? Aight
@@billysummers4985 defensive vs ussr in the 50s which made maybe sense.. as usual an enemy must be created. your comment is typical pro western without having seen a piece of the world.. of course zero wars from usa and nato , only : Serbia, Yemen, Afghanistan, Iraq,Libya, Syria, Rwanda etc etc.. please don't answer me to bring piece or similar, it does not work with me . Regards.
@@stefmen13 Ah yes, Rwanda where there was an active genocide being perpetrated by the ruling ethnic group, and where NATO famously didn't intervene despite a plurality of condemnation. Perhaps you are thinking of the United nations intervention, which was in all accounts largely ineffectual. Onto Sebia, which at the time was Yugoslavia, who were actively ethnically cleansing the indigenous Albanian people within Kosovo and with which NATO intervened to limit civilian casualties. I can go on? Also your position seems to infer that Russia (as the inheritor of the USSR) doesn't continue to prove an existential threat to their neighbours, I would tell that to both Ukraine and Georgia, oh and every European nation bordering them: they aren't joining the defensive alliance for no reason...
UPDATE:
Finland joined NATO as a 31st member state in 2023. 🇫🇮
As of April 4th, 2023. Finland has became a member of nato.
Now Sweden is a member
Update July 15th during the Lithuanian NATO summit, Sweden is being accepted into NATO.
make this up to date. sweden and finland joined
I think this video lacks on information about:
- Austria neutrality otherwise it would become like Germany
- why did Ukraine and Geórgia not join NATO (while other countries like Macedonia did)
- the georgia russian war
Ukraine and Georgia can not join NATO because they have unresolved territorial disputes. Same goes with Moldova
@@Sceptonic Russian-occupied territories to be specific
@@Sceptonic Ukraine did not have unresolved territorial disputes in 2008, that wasn't until 2014. I think that's what the OP meant.
What I've heard on the matter is this: Part of NATO membership is integration. Due to how much Soviet-era equipment the Ukraine has, it was estimated that - even as late as 2020 - it would take years for Ukraine to achieve sufficient interoperability with NATO (they had been receiving significant imports and gifts of NATO weaponry ever since 2014, but it still wasn't enough; I also don't mean to say that no Soviet equipment is sufficiently interoperable, but it does need to be modified and modernized.
EDIT: I should add that Finland and Sweeden are much closer to being integrated with NATO, so their membership path should be relatively quick.
It also would've been interesting to talk about what took Macedonia so long to join - there's was a dispute with Greece that was holding it up. (As for Montenegro - no NATO member objected to its entry, but they traditionally have had close ties with the Serbs, even splitting with Yugoslavia peacefully, so they perhaps felt that they didn't need to join NATO).
@@jeffbenton6183 Georgia had sort of invasion by Russia, Ukraine had a Russia puppet leader. That is why no NATO. 2014 Russia lost the puppet and grip on Ukraine, hence the invasions.
What a... Good job man 👍 This is a very great summary of the world events
"Peace for 80 years", "We're living in the most peaceful time". One of the most empty statements of our time, we have been moving forwards with no repercussions for the future. This is nothing but the silence before the thunder.
And it will be the end of our species, or intelligent life as we know it.
Yes we are living in the most peaceful time
Go check medival times etc.
There's much less wars
@@Losowy Really "Mediaeval times"? that's your comparison? did you even understand the statement? My statement says that the peace we're in today is empty and nothing to cherish. And that it is nothing but a ticking bomb for a great war, greater than ever seen before.
@@b.n.e6090 "We're living in the most peaceful times" so I gave that comparison lol
@@Losowy Jeez...
And with that, you gained a new subscriber. Well done!
Make that two new subscribers. Awesome content! ✌🏽
Thank you for adding the Korean War! My great grandpa was in the war I love it when people mention it because it was a big part of history
Where are u from
AYE! Maybe your Great Grandpa & my Grandpa fought together
Fantastic video but at 4:00 Italy was a Republic by then and you used the Kingdom of Italy's flag. Other than that very informative video👌
As of a few days ago, Finland's application has been approved by all member states.
hardest background music ever heard on RUclips
Ive been waiting for this
thank you. For the longest time I have been making arguments against NATO but because of this very well done video I know understand more about the situation and understand how my previous arguments were based on ignorance.
So you're pro-NATO now? I guess that explains the Galactic Empire profile pic
That's ironic because watching this video confirmed my views on NATO as an organization that lost its way.
@@hermanwooster8944 "Lost its way" how? Despite the video saying as much, NATO never invaded Iraq; only a Coalition of US allies did which had nothing to do with NATO itself for example. Frankly, in terms of morality, NATO may be one of the most moral structures on the planet.
@@stephenjenkins7971 This video omits the part where the US as part of NATO broke the UN embargo on Yugoslavia and secretly smuggled weapons and jihadists in. This was reported in _TheGuardian._ Which jihadists? The Afghan mujahedeen. A US official closely involved later said on PBS that it was actually ALQaeda.
Later in Kosovo Yugoslavia was fighting the KLA, which trained in AQ camps. NATO responded by bombing Yugoslavia, often with uranium or cluster bombs and on civilian centers - hospitals, a train, radio station, a marketplace, and even China's embassy. This event changed Russia and China from neutral to hostile. Most in the West are oblivious to how big this was even though both countries continue to bring it up.
@@hermanwooster8944 You're omitting important facts here too. UN sanctions on Yugoslavia has no effect on nations that seceded from Yugoslavia, thus has no application on the likes of Croatia, Montenegro, or Kosovo for example; thus nations trading with these new countries did not break with the UN over anything.
Also, the US didn't smuggle anything to these countries to begin with, or jihadists, what is this insane BS you're spouting here?
The KLA has connections with jihadists, I'm sure; but they're not literal jihadists as their goal was an independent Kosovo; not the creation of Islamist principles. And it was the Bosnian Genocide and the later authoritarian actions of the Yugoslav government that forced the US to step in via bombing them to cease their actions.
If stopping genocide made Russia and China hostile, then maybe that's a problem with them for being so pro-genocide.
Edit: Also, this video talked about nothing in regards to that. Just admit that you're a fascist imperialist and be done with it; because you're making up a bunch of crap and unironically defending the ones committing genocide here.
If the video was published some month later he could incule Finland, it’s a little sad that the video is incomplete
Overall great video. One thing is missing though.
Russia has applied to join NATO multiple times (not joke) and that part of story is completely ignored in this video.
The USSR applied, not Russia
@pondblank pondblank your mom isn't relevant
If Russia joins NATO, then it will be one NATO.. you cant loot a country that is part of you.. NATO needs partners to help break Russia to pieces and loot it! this is modern warfare.. they know if they can break Yugoslavia and other bigger countries, then they can break China and Russia too, UAE, SAUDI and others are keeping notes about these events, they are starting to sell properties in London as we speak, they know they are NEXT... first, the US will start calling them "Dictator Regime".. and it begins! it always begins with propaganda
@@Alex-iu9hf Russia is the legal successor of the USSR. Russia even paid off its Second World War lend-lease debts up until 2006.
@pondblank pondblank It is in fact very relevant.
There is a mistake in this movie, in the part, when the movie describes fall of communism in Europe. It says that communist Poland and Warsaw pact lasted until 1991, whereas Poland became a free country in 1989.
Although the Warsaw Pact became practically defunct in 1989, it didn’t officially dissolve until March-July 1991 (with the exception of East Germany leaving in 1990, as shown in the video).
In a similar way, the USSR practically ceased to exist after most of the republics declared independence following the August coup of 1991, but it wasn’t officially dissolved until December of that year.
Great video!
I think however, it would be greatly beneficial if you included your sources in the description. Thank you!
there is google and enogh other sources. That what hes saying in this video isbasically common sense and knowledge since a long time
UPDATE: Sweden officially joined NATO March 7th 2024 as a 32nd member state!
And just like that this video is now obsolete with Finland joining.
10:45
Tries to advert a humanitarian crisis by starting one lmao
Thank you for your all videos
Awesome video. Learned a few things. Thanks!
Excellent video, informative and objective. One small note: the Italian flag at min. 04:01 is wrong: it is the one of the Kingdom of Italy (note the Savoy family emblem within the flag’s white stripe). That flag was replaced by the current one (with three clean stripes of color) in 1946, when after a referendum Italy became a republic. So, in 1951 Italys flag was definitely without the former royal family emblem.
Might need to update it now :/
Can't wait for part 2
The purpose of NATO:
"...keep the Russians out,
The Americans in, and
The Germans down."
- Lord Hastings Ismay, 1st Secretary General of NATO
That was the original purpose at the end of ww2, when the geopolitical context was way different. It has changed a lot since and Germany is well and fully integrated into Nato.
Lmao Russian propaganda
the british were also the ones who were DOWN after ww2, so dont know what the fck this pathetic lord hastings wanted lel. russia is currently down military wise and economic wise because of the sanctions and its military losses in ukraine.
@@mazin0006 But this is Wikipedia. Is the English Wiki now the mouthpiece of Russia? Found on
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hastings_Ismay,_1st_Baron_Ismay
.
"While Secretary General, Ismay is also credited as having been the first person to say that the purpose of NATO was "to keep the Soviet Union out, the Americans in, and the Germans down," a saying that has since become a common way to quickly describe the alliance."
Yes it's better the Germans and the russians always starts war.
Materiał był super ,połączony z lekcją histori konfliktów.Do trórców mam jedno podejrzenie że komuś zależy na wywoływaniu konfliktów zbrojnych w Europie i nie tylko.Przypuszczam że Jugosławia padła takim machinacją
1:26
The iron curtain doesnt include technically yugoslavia at ussr side
I wished this video should have been made today, there's so much that have happening during the 2 years since it was uploaded.
*Finland has joined NATO*
Good video, you should do one for the Warsaw Pact and CSTO as well. Cheers
CSTO 🤣🤣🤣
Very interesting. I'm personally involved in the ukraine incident. Always good to get a wider perspective on history.
I’m from UK and I hate Ukraine
Finland joined so you are going to update this?
My only quibble: I would have liked an overview of the status of Austria. It's an interesting story of how they managed to avoid division by becoming a unified neutral nation. It's a shame Germany wasn't allowed to follow that path.
It is a real shame but that sort of agreement just wasn't viable for Germany. Neither aside wanted to have to fight them a third time.
This was very well made.
That was an interesting and well put together video 👍
aMAZING VIDEO. THANKS A LOT
Happy Memorial Day my fellow Americans. POWs never forgotten...
Seeing how you treat your veterans is truly appalling.
@@overlord4404 What? It's appalling we treat them better than like most of the planet?
