I think the NATO kicked the taliban`s ass. Bin Laden was killed. I dont think there will be ever peace in Afghanistan. They have been fighting in the last 40-50 years...
The US spends 4% and people think *that's* a lot. 14 is crazy. Though the US probably spent a lot more at the time, and they can also get away with a lower percent since they had a better economy in general.
Kevin Hernandez-Rives if the US did that today it would be spending $2,520,000,000,000, or to put it into words, two trillion five hundred twenty billion dollars, that's a crazy amount of economy to put towards any one area
USSR was a different economy and the only problem USSR faced is corruption and bureaucracy. And this problems was newer defeated even in modern days post-soviet countries
"Im blocking your supply lines to Berlin. What are you gonna do about it?" "I suppose we'll just...fly the supplies in" "Alright Truman, you win this round"
Russia simply cannot keep up with its tech. Yes they have a lot of tanks and nuclear missiles. Their actually standing army though is not all that impressive and their economy is relatively small. China is the only power that can really stand up to the United States.
Several things : -The Tito-Stalin breakup of Yugoslavia and the USSR was in 1948 and not 1949. -During the Cuban missile crisis missiles were mostly removed from Turkey, and they were outdated anyway. -France never left NATO, they left the military block. -The arms race started well before the 1980s.
well, he represented the entire USRR ending at the same time, when we know that Russia and the Baltics left first, and that lead the Union to collapse. In fact was the coupe in Russia that led to the fall of the Union.
That was a secret deal, (removal of missiles from Turkey) which did not come to light until at least 20 years later. They were removed from Turkey, but to cover up the secret deal, it was stated that the missiles were "outdated" .
When Stalin kept sending assassins to kill him, Tito then wrote a letter to him personally to cut it out, or else he'd send an assassin of his own, and that he wouldn't have to send another. I think that's true, right?

The Chinese already started to be a world power and caused multiple African countries to support China, especially Australians. I can't be wooshed if I got the joke btw.
@@LazyAndFabulous Let me add a few words. The Chinese believe that they love peace, and because China was humiliated by China’s weakness in the 19th century, and after many wars against colonialism, the Chinese chose the Communist Party of China, which helped China to rejuvenate (The Chinese think that we are just back where we were originally, so we don’t call it the rise). In the 1960s, China and the Soviet Union, the two socialist powers, finally parted ways because of a deviation in their understanding of communism, and the Soviet Union betrayedTo achieve its own ideals, to practice great power chauvinism and hegemonism, and to behave like the United States, which made it difficult for the Chinese to accept, so China actively participated in the exchanges with the third world countries, and this allowed China to restore the five permanent posts of the United Nations.One seat of the council
China will lose, Picking a fight with the Americans is one thing, But they are causing tensions with nearly every Nation in Asia since this pandemic in the world started. US and China both with shady pasts should be careful the world doesn't just turn on both of them.

Spectacular video, really fascinating. It would be really awesome if someday we could have a long-form video that lists out all the microsatellite war/conflict that happened between the major ones listed in this one (such as the US/USSR's influence over Ethiopia and Somalia in the Ogaden war, or the various attempted communist regimes in central/south America)
The video was very historically and technically accurate, so props for that. But maybe an extra minute or so explaining the final years of the USSR would have been even better. It was much more complex and non-trivial than what was explained here.
Originally, I made a comment about Chernobyl and how it was a root cause of the collapse of the soviet collapse. However, it seems like I can't find a good source to either confirm or decline these statements. So just disreguard the original comment (Below) The original comment: Might've been a good idea to also talk about Chernobyl. Chernobyl, for anyone who is unaware, was the largest civilian nuclear disaster in history. Radioactive fallout from the explosion in Pripyat was able to travel all the way to New Jersey, and hundreds of thousands died from Radiation Poisoning. The key thing about this, however, was that, because of how much the USSR tried to cover it up, it ultimately became a factor in the breakup of the USSR.
Get ya facts straight, troll. "Hundreds of thousands" did not die from Chernobyl, even if you count cancer deaths suspectedly caused from it in the last 25 years. International studies say about 4,000 have directly died and the UN estimates 40,00 adversely affected with radiation. Yes, more were relocated and suffered lifestyle losses. And Chernobyl was NOT a factor in the USSR dissolution. That is a piece of Western propaganda. It arose from (depending on who you believe) a series of political decisions made by Gorbachev and the Supreme Council of the time, and then Yeltsin's arrival. They admit to that themselves. Do some research and stop exaggerating for propaganda bullshit.

Map from 1949 is misleading Yugoslavia was not in eastern bloc . And it never was satelite stare for ussr like other eastern block states who were constantly their satellite.
An excellent synopsis, but I was disappointed you didn't mention the uprising in Poland 1949, Hungary 1956, and Czechoslovakia 1968 which were all very important events rejecting communist totalitarianism. A-
I think you missed Ceausescu's Romania's separation from the USSR area of influence by 1968. They were communists but not USSR allies anymore. The Hungarian Revolution in 1958 and the soviet occupation of Czechoslovakia in 1968 are something worth to mention as well.
G. K. Chesterton 1922 about POLAND: "I judged the Poles by their enemies. And I found it was an almost unfailing- truth that their enemies were the enemies of magnanimity and manhood. If a man loved slavery, if he loved usury, if he loved terrorism and all the trampled mire of materialistic politics, I have always found that he added to these affections the passion of a hatred of Poland. She could be judged in the light of that hatred; and the judgment has proved to be right."
Impressive work, putting 45 years of geopolitical events in an under 10 minute video, but there is one big problem with this format: it oversimpliefies the whole cold war. The Korean Conflict, the Vietnam war, the African decolonisation and the Afghan war are mentioned in such a way that it doesn't cover their real cause or the whole outcome. Also important treaties like SALT1 and Nixons visit to China are totally ignored. Still amazing work, just the format isnt the best for such a long period of complicated geopolitical events.
Only partially. In fact, elections wasn't fully free because communist guaranteed to themselves 65% of the seats in parliament as a condition. Formally regaining independence of Poland was a process called "transformation" which started in late 80' when communist realizes that Soviet Union will collapse.
The USA is founded based on individual freedom, not capitalism. It just so happens that when individuals pursue their own interests that it creates wealth for themselves and others, as observed by Adam Smith

I understand that an issue as complex as the Cold War can't be discussed in much detail in an 8min video, but the map contains a number of inaccuracies that suggest a geopolitical situation that seems much less in favor of the US (and much more in favor of the USSR) than it actually was. At the start of the Cold War, much of the Middle East was in western hands, with countries like Saudi Arabia becoming close to the US ever since the end of WW2 and all the oil fields in the region under Anglo-American control. Iraq and Jordan for instance, were also on the US side, until Iraq became neutral after the 1958 revolution. The Iraqi government was then deposed in 1963, the Baath party in power crushed the communists and Iraq aligned itself with Washington again for some time. Despite Arab-Israeli hostility, both Israel and Arab countries fell into Western influence (with the exception of Syria, but even Egypt, Israel's fiercest enemy, joined the West in 1978). The Apartheid regime that held the most developed country in Africa was closely allied with the US for the entirety of the Cold War. By 1965 also, Indonesia firmly and definitively versed into the western camp, having wiped out a million communist sympathizers and their families in a 6-month period. That same year, Africa's second biggest country, Zaïre, was taken over by a US-backed thug called Mobutu, establishing itself as a loyal puppet of the West. Not until the 1970s was the African continent fully liberated of European colonial control (although countries like France retained an enormous influence on their former colonies' political systems and economic infrastructure). After 1979, China also developed close relations with the US, leaving the Soviet Union essentially alone in the "anti-West" camp (except perhaps for Iran after its 1979 revolution, though it did not fully join the Soviet camp). And Latin America is pretty much left out of that picture (barely visible on this video after 1962), although the entire continent, apart from a very few exception, has been dominated by the US throughout the Cold War. Finally, Pakistan was supported by the US at the height of the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan. On the other hand, Cuba clearly was on the Soviet side from 1962 onwards... Quick note on Vietnam though, the South wasn't nationalist. In fact Ho Chi Minh and most of the National Liberation Front that fought US and South Korean invaders and the South Vietnamese government were nationalists. South Vietnam was a western-made geographic entity that had no historical nor political legitimacy and that was dominated by a Vietnam-born transnational elite that essentially served US economic interests and geopolitical goals.
As in America, I am not going to say that I know too much about the Cold War, but I went with my parents and about 45 other Americans in 1989 the USSR. My Mother was intending to go on a peace missions . She spent most of my teenage years going to schools trying to educate children and parents how it was her mission in life to establish world peace, especially with the Russians , even if what she was doing was just her small part . She had thousands of members , and she went to Russia many times , and she did have me go with her on one trip . I did go like I said during the Cold War . I have to say I was a little bit afraid , and I got to stay with a host famiy. They were very gracious and kind . I just remember being taught in school that they were the enemy, and we were taught to be fearful. Anyway, my best friend and I went . I remember that it was very cold. I had never experienced that kind of cold temperature in my whole life.. our summers were about 90 degrees , we were lucky to see Snow, which we loved , and about the coldest we would ever get was about 20 to 30° . I wore warm clothing, but nothing could prepare me for what what I was about to experience . I remember passing a group of small children, and they were laughing at us. It's like they knew we were stupid Americans for not dressing for the cold weather. I remember seeing statues of Lenin and Stalin, and I I remember being in Red Square, which was so fascinating , and remember taking pictures with my Polaroid camera, and also just was so excited, also being there at a time where Mikhail Gorbachev was President. I was in the eighth grade at the time and because we were there for two weeks., my homework was too write my activies each day, put them into a journal type booklet , and then speak about them to my class. We got to spend a few days in the Republic of Georgia. That was fascinating as well and all the beautiful history. we decided to stop there because we were from Atlanta Georgia so we wanted to go from Georgia to Georgia. we still have lifelong friends and I will never forget my wonderful experiences. , especially as an American citizen, but to say that I was, there is just amazing. I Just awesome history! I hope that I don't offend anyone if I did I'm truly sorry!

I’m from Uzbekistan and USSR (mainly Russia today) is the most evil country that the world has faced so far. Russia strictly demolished Islam in the region and did a rustication. Now, almost every single citizen of Central Asian Counties has Russian family name suffix (ov, ova, yev, yeva) at the end of their family names. Still we use Cyrillic in Cenral Asia (Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan ,Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, I’m not sure for Turkmenistan) although we all have own alphabet. USSR killed large amount of people in the world, more than Natsis German, ISIS or China.
Lol, it wasnt Russia, it was USSR and they destroyed churches also... You can search Putin's speach where he said that 80% of USSR parliament were Jews so Jews did that, thats also why Jews got their state in USSR, there is Jewish oblast in Russia, its located on far east close to North Korean Border...
Interesting take on history. I didn't know North Vietnam "beat" the United States considering there were no real combat US forces left in Vietnam.....North Vietnamese broke the Peace Accords and attacked the South this was after the United States pulled out, which Nixon resigning Ford didn't have the clout to send troops back in.......and so went South Vietnam
Said from a citizen of a nation that destroyed the fair election for reunifcation in 1958. Vietnam is and will always be one nation. US should have never made an enemy out of Vietnam.
... Another mistake In the 1980‘s, Yugoslavia was still Communist (SFR Yugoslavia) and wasnt in the Eastern Block from 1948 (TSS) That alliance slowly broke apart and the Soviets did have a secret invasion plan of SFRY, Albania and Greece (Tito-Stalin Split in 1948) The leaders of SFRY were against the Soviets and they saw it as an opportunity to set up a powerfull COM state in the south.

- The Cold War was a 45-year face-off between the US and the USSR. - The two superpowers emerged after WWII, with the US being a liberal democracy and the USSR a federal communist state. - Both powers tried to peddle their influence in Europe, resulting in the division of the continent into two blocks separated by the Iron Curtain. - Indirect confrontations between the two powers and their allies took place in Greece, China, Korea, Vietnam, and Latin America. - The US established NATO, while the USSR set up the Warsaw Pact. - China broke its alliance with the USSR and aimed to become a new world power. - Many countries chose to remain neutral by creating the Non-Aligned Movement. - The USSR took advantage of the US's failure to influence Cuba diplomatically and sent soldiers, military ships, and missiles to the island. The Cold War was a 45-year-long geopolitical conflict between two superpowers, the United States of America and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), which lasted from the end of World War II in 1945 until the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. After World War II, Europe was left divided into two blocks separated by the Iron Curtain. The US offered loans to revive the economy and establish trade links, while the USSR wanted to protect its borders and set up pro-Soviet governments in liberated countries. The two powers battled for influence in science, industry, space, sports, and military. The Soviet Union invested heavily in industry and arms, testing its first atomic bomb in 1949. The US set up NATO, a military alliance between countries of the Western bloc, the same year. Throughout the Cold War, there were many indirect confrontations between the two powers and their allies, including in Greece, China, Korea, Vietnam, Europe, and Latin America. The USSR organized its own military alliance through the Warsaw Pact and installed hundreds of long-range missiles pointed at Western Europe. In response, the US pointed its missiles towards Soviet territories. The Cold War ended with the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. Bullet Summary: - Cold War: geopolitical conflict between USA and USSR from 1945 to 1991 - Europe divided into two blocks separated by Iron Curtain - USA offered loans to revive economy, USSR wanted to set up pro-Soviet governments - Both powers battled for influence in science, industry, space, sports, and military - Indirect confrontations in Greece, China, Korea, Vietnam, Europe, and Latin America - USSR installed missiles pointed at Western Europe, USA pointed missiles towards Soviet territories - Cold War ended with collapse of Soviet Union in 1991

@@LazyAndFabulous Let me add a few words. The Chinese believe that they love peace, and because China was humiliated by China’s weakness in the 19th century, and after many wars against colonialism, the Chinese chose the Communist Party of China, which helped China to rejuvenate (The Chinese think that we are just back where we were originally, so we don’t call it the rise). In the 1960s, China and the Soviet Union, the two socialist powers, finally parted ways because of a deviation in their understanding of communism, and the Soviet Union betrayedTo achieve its own ideals, to practice great power chauvinism and hegemonism, and to behave like the United States, which made it difficult for the Chinese to accept, so China actively participated in the exchanges with the third world countries, and this allowed China to restore the five permanent posts of the United Nations.One seat of the council

Originally, I made a comment about Chernobyl and how it was a root cause of the collapse of the soviet collapse. However, it seems like I can't find a good source to either confirm or decline these statements. So just disreguard the original comment (Below)
The original comment:
Might've been a good idea to also talk about Chernobyl. Chernobyl, for anyone who is unaware, was the largest civilian nuclear disaster in history. Radioactive fallout from the explosion in Pripyat was able to travel all the way to New Jersey, and hundreds of thousands died from Radiation Poisoning. The key thing about this, however, was that, because of how much the USSR tried to cover it up, it ultimately became a factor in the breakup of the USSR.
Get ya facts straight, troll. "Hundreds of thousands" did not die from Chernobyl, even if you count cancer deaths suspectedly caused from it in the last 25 years. International studies say about 4,000 have directly died and the UN estimates 40,00 adversely affected with radiation. Yes, more were relocated and suffered lifestyle losses.
And Chernobyl was NOT a factor in the USSR dissolution. That is a piece of Western propaganda. It arose from (depending on who you believe) a series of political decisions made by Gorbachev and the Supreme Council of the time, and then Yeltsin's arrival. They admit to that themselves.
Do some research and stop exaggerating for propaganda bullshit.

An excellent synopsis, but I was disappointed you didn't mention the uprising in Poland 1949, Hungary 1956, and Czechoslovakia 1968 which were all very important events rejecting communist totalitarianism. A-

And LNR/DNR since they are essentially the same thing. Yes the conflict is active but there hasn’t been a change in territory in years
Also Artsakh, DNR, and LPR.
Mr Marian Failed states only get that way because someone fucked them up.
I think you missed Ceausescu's Romania's separation from the USSR area of influence by 1968. They were communists but not USSR allies anymore. The Hungarian Revolution in 1958 and the soviet occupation of Czechoslovakia in 1968 are something worth to mention as well.
G. K. Chesterton 1922 about POLAND:
"I judged the Poles by their enemies. And I found it was an almost unfailing- truth that their enemies were the enemies of magnanimity and manhood. If a man loved slavery, if he loved usury, if he loved terrorism and all the trampled mire of materialistic politics, I have always found that he added to these affections the passion of a hatred of Poland. She could be judged in the light of that hatred; and the judgment has proved to be right."
Impressive work, putting 45 years of geopolitical events in an under 10 minute video, but there is one big problem with this format: it oversimpliefies the whole cold war. The Korean Conflict, the Vietnam war, the African decolonisation and the Afghan war are mentioned in such a way that it doesn't cover their real cause or the whole outcome. Also important treaties like SALT1 and Nixons visit to China are totally ignored. Still amazing work, just the format isnt the best for such a long period of complicated geopolitical events.

Only partially. In fact, elections wasn't fully free because communist guaranteed to themselves 65% of the seats in parliament as a condition. Formally regaining independence of Poland was a process called "transformation" which started in late 80' when communist realizes that Soviet Union will collapse.

I understand that an issue as complex as the Cold War can't be discussed in much detail in an 8min video, but the map contains a number of inaccuracies that suggest a geopolitical situation that seems much less in favor of the US (and much more in favor of the USSR) than it actually was. At the start of the Cold War, much of the Middle East was in western hands, with countries like Saudi Arabia becoming close to the US ever since the end of WW2 and all the oil fields in the region under Anglo-American control. Iraq and Jordan for instance, were also on the US side, until Iraq became neutral after the 1958 revolution. The Iraqi government was then deposed in 1963, the Baath party in power crushed the communists and Iraq aligned itself with Washington again for some time. Despite Arab-Israeli hostility, both Israel and Arab countries fell into Western influence (with the exception of Syria, but even Egypt, Israel's fiercest enemy, joined the West in 1978). The Apartheid regime that held the most developed country in Africa was closely allied with the US for the entirety of the Cold War. By 1965 also, Indonesia firmly and definitively versed into the western camp, having wiped out a million communist sympathizers and their families in a 6-month period. That same year, Africa's second biggest country, Zaïre, was taken over by a US-backed thug called Mobutu, establishing itself as a loyal puppet of the West. Not until the 1970s was the African continent fully liberated of European colonial control (although countries like France retained an enormous influence on their former colonies' political systems and economic infrastructure). After 1979, China also developed close relations with the US, leaving the Soviet Union essentially alone in the "anti-West" camp (except perhaps for Iran after its 1979 revolution, though it did not fully join the Soviet camp). And Latin America is pretty much left out of that picture (barely visible on this video after 1962), although the entire continent, apart from a very few exception, has been dominated by the US throughout the Cold War. Finally, Pakistan was supported by the US at the height of the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan. On the other hand, Cuba clearly was on the Soviet side from 1962 onwards...
Quick note on Vietnam though, the South wasn't nationalist. In fact Ho Chi Minh and most of the National Liberation Front that fought US and South Korean invaders and the South Vietnamese government were nationalists. South Vietnam was a western-made geographic entity that had no historical nor political legitimacy and that was dominated by a Vietnam-born transnational elite that essentially served US economic interests and geopolitical goals.
Do something with Australia, New Zealand, Micronesia and Papua New Guinea please!
3:30 Sachalin was at this point fully part of the USSR
As in America, I am not going to say that I know too much about the Cold War, but I went with my parents and about 45 other Americans in 1989 the USSR. My Mother was intending to go on a peace missions . She spent most of my teenage years going to schools trying to educate children and parents how it was her mission in life to establish world peace, especially with the Russians , even if what she was doing was just her small part . She had thousands of members , and she went to Russia many times , and she did have me go with her on one trip . I did go like I said during the Cold War . I have to say I was a little bit afraid , and I got to stay with a host famiy. They were very gracious and kind . I just remember being taught in school that they were the enemy, and we were taught to be fearful.
Anyway, my best friend and I went . I remember that it was very cold. I had never experienced that kind of cold temperature in my whole life.. our summers were about 90 degrees , we were lucky to see Snow, which we loved , and about the coldest we would ever get was about 20 to 30° . I wore warm clothing, but nothing could prepare me for what what I was about to experience . I remember passing a group of small children, and they were laughing at us. It's like they knew we were stupid Americans for not dressing for the cold weather. I remember seeing statues of Lenin and Stalin, and I I remember being in Red Square, which was so fascinating , and remember taking pictures with my Polaroid camera, and also just was so excited, also being there at a time where Mikhail Gorbachev was President. I was in the eighth grade at the time and because we were there for two weeks., my homework was too write my activies each day, put them into a journal type booklet , and then speak about them to my class. We got to spend a few days in the Republic of Georgia. That was fascinating as well and all the beautiful history. we decided to stop there because we were from Atlanta Georgia so we wanted to go from Georgia to Georgia. we still have lifelong friends and I will never forget my wonderful experiences. , especially as an American citizen, but to say that I was, there is just amazing. I Just awesome history! I hope that I don't offend anyone if I did I'm truly sorry!

“Nothing is more permanent than a temporary solution”
- The Cold War was a 45-year face-off between the US and the USSR.
- The two superpowers emerged after WWII, with the US being a liberal democracy and the USSR a federal communist state.
- Both powers tried to peddle their influence in Europe, resulting in the division of the continent into two blocks separated by the Iron Curtain.
- Indirect confrontations between the two powers and their allies took place in Greece, China, Korea, Vietnam, and Latin America.
- The US established NATO, while the USSR set up the Warsaw Pact.
- China broke its alliance with the USSR and aimed to become a new world power.
- Many countries chose to remain neutral by creating the Non-Aligned Movement.
- The USSR took advantage of the US's failure to influence Cuba diplomatically and sent soldiers, military ships, and missiles to the island.
The Cold War was a 45-year-long geopolitical conflict between two superpowers, the United States of America and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), which lasted from the end of World War II in 1945 until the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. After World War II, Europe was left divided into two blocks separated by the Iron Curtain. The US offered loans to revive the economy and establish trade links, while the USSR wanted to protect its borders and set up pro-Soviet governments in liberated countries. The two powers battled for influence in science, industry, space, sports, and military. The Soviet Union invested heavily in industry and arms, testing its first atomic bomb in 1949. The US set up NATO, a military alliance between countries of the Western bloc, the same year. Throughout the Cold War, there were many indirect confrontations between the two powers and their allies, including in Greece, China, Korea, Vietnam, Europe, and Latin America. The USSR organized its own military alliance through the Warsaw Pact and installed hundreds of long-range missiles pointed at Western Europe. In response, the US pointed its missiles towards Soviet territories. The Cold War ended with the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991.
