  • 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.

    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

    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.

      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.

    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.

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.

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...

      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 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

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"?

    Oppenheimer’s life was a true tragedy. He created the Atomic Bomb that America callously used it against Japan. He then felt guilt after the Atomic Bomb was used and warned the US Government against it. The U.S. Government ignored him and ruined his life because of his political views. Talk about the “Land of the Free” and they took away his security clearance. It’s horrible. I’m glad Oppenheimer’s life is being talked about.

      'callously used against Japan' really dude? so what's your strategy of getting Japan to surrender? send a million troops to their deaths along with a couple million dead Japanese during a land battle on the home islands? because we were gonna invade Japan because they kept refusing to surrender. is that more morally superior to you than simply dropping 2 bombs on what was essentially massive arms producing areas? learn your history dropping those bombs was the best case scenario for saving both American and Japanese lives and ended the conflict much sooner than the alternative

      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.

    Oppenheimer was not even close to the father of the Abomb or anything like it; he didn't even think atoms could be split until German scientists did it. Gen Groves headed the Manhattan project; one might call its "Groves bomb". Oppenheimer was essentially the manager of a group that designed the bombs. Germans made all the discoveries that made an a bomb possible.

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

    In regards to the Korean Peninsula before the Korean War.

Yet the South Korean military was extremely small and totally unprepared to start any war compared to North Korea. She made it seem like it was South Korea fault the war started - which is pure bs.
    That woman commentator is so biased toward the communists - China was reluctant. That is such a joke. The Chinese were more than happy to intervene in the Korean War. McArthur was over confident and didn’t pay attention to the possibility of Chinese intervention. The end result is North Korea survives to this day. North Korea is the most dangerous country in the world and treats it citizens the worst of any country in the world. If a a-bomb is ever used in a war agin. It will most likely to be the fault of North Korea. The worst thing about the Korean War is that North Korea still exists ( beyond the basic problem of any war which is that war’s know ll people)

They're also created the first A/C Turbine, The V1 & V2Rocket and many other futuristic technologies that been swindled and shared between USA UK and France immediately once WW2 ended and former USSR later on.
