13:14 You mention the April 2008 Bucharest Summit, where it was stated that Georgia and Ukraine will become future members of NATO; and Russia's negative reaction. You omit to mention the 2008 Georgian War that followed that summer - quite an important event and a foreshadowing of what might happen to Ukraine. Russia could not countenance Crimea (especially) becoming part of NATO.

April 4, 2023 Finland joins NATO 🇫🇮
These videos are always well made and very instructive in pulling together a long view, even for people who already know quite a bit about the details. Every history course should start with one of these just to get the general timeline established in an engaging way.
4:20 You pointed that İstanbul is the Turkish capital but in reality, it's Ankara because in 1923, Constantinople (İstanbul) was replaced by Ankara as the Turkish capital
And Ankaraj is the capital of Alaska, except they spell it Anchorage.
Yeah like people also think Lagos is the capital of Nigeria when the capital is Abuja

Precisely: maybe other very important episodes are missing also, but this is the one my limited knowledge readily identifies. Good, not apparently much biased video, but will have to see more to understand the full picture: it is so hard to find neutral/factual information. This channel, at least, seems ok.
Also the invasion of Georgia
Wow this was excellent, just enough deatil but not too much to make it overwhelming. Thank you!
Sweden joined nato on march 7th 2024
Thank you so much , That was incredibly helpful
So informative and entertaining! Love the background music
Outstanding narrative. Thanks
Thank you for your all videos
Just wow ! Amazing content. Thanks
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.
@@SUPERNOVA0360 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.
Can't wait for part 2

Oops sorry I was looking for a video.
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.

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?

Update July 15th during the Lithuanian NATO summit, Sweden is being accepted into NATO.
hardest background music ever heard on UA-cam
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?
@@Anthemfan 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.
Nothing like watching History at 3 AM dont you think??
That was absolutely extremely fucking educational, and very well delivered.
Absolutely outstanding.
Crazy how different another video like this could be in 5-10 years
I mean think about it this way: NATO is a treaty which refers to Europe + North America. Which most of Europe and North America has already joined NATO. In 5-10 years, we'll see Finland, Sweden and Ukraine join NATO. Maybe followed by Georgia and Azerbaijan.

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
And just like that this video is now obsolete with Finland joining.
The verbal treaty mentioned at 7 minutes didn’t exist. It was the US Secretary of State (not the President) who told Gorbachev that there wouldn’t be NATO military bases in East Germany. Nothing about ”extending the border eastward”.
Good video, you should do one for the Warsaw Pact and CSTO as well. Cheers
CSTO 🤣🤣🤣
It'd have been relevant to mention the Georgian War resulting in Georgia not being accepted, as well as the fact that Russia's demands to Ukraine far exceeded just not joining NATO, and the fact that the West did respond to Russia's request by saying that while Russia couldn't dictate which countries could join a defensive alliance, there were no plans to accept Ukraine at this time.
The Georgian War that was started by US regime change puppet Sakashvili.
@@romeolarenzo3929 It was legal according to the UN and the Arab league.
We all know what 'at this time' means! There was a way a deal to be made. Asking Russia to demilitarize Kaliningrad and both sides pull back 500km to create 1000km demilitarized zone, it was doable.
@@plamendimitrov9097 Russia was planning to invade Ukraine all along, the NATO bullshit was just their false pretext.
The problem is that the west didn't want a deal, they want victory.
If the video was published some month later he could incule Finland, it’s a little sad that the video is incomplete
7:35 There is no evidence such a promise was ever even made, not even verbally.
Gorbachov has been inconsistent about his claims regarding this promise. In 2014, Gorbachev said that it never happened and it was only the Russian press who made him say it as late as December 2013 in the context of the conflict in Ukraine.
"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
Yes but they didn't know when to end it
Nato has no use execpt going to war with 3rd world countries and peovoking russia
And the UE is a brain dead system that is laughed down on by the rest of the world and that's crumbling down under it's own weight
It's mostly a lie especially after the cold war, now it is just for promoting Americanism
Unfortunatly we were not able to take away greed.
yet nato were the aggressors who bombed innocent countries and people
