"Some of the people referencing 1984 have even read it"😂😂😂
Two years after its approval for development, the AK-47 prototype was finalized and type classified as the AK rifle for Soviet Army issue in 1949.
Thanks for mentioning 1949 deportations in Baltics. Many observers wouldn't regard this event important enough to mention it in the world's context.
same happend in the soviet republic of Moldova
It's part of a long occurring topic, in some ways it shows how similar the soviets are to the tzars. It's like the Great Wrath part 2.
"Many people reference it and some people referencing it have even read it!" LOL.
Yeah that’s fine
Sad, but true.
1:51 "Nice and firm. Well done, soldier."
This is the comment I was looking for.
You deserve a Veterans Discount for this post
I had to rewind to make sure I saw what i saw
Big fan of The Great War, Time Ghost, World War Two, and The Cold War
Many of us out there.
"Bone music" refers to the technique of recording music on film used for X-rays (don't ask me how that worked). With the state having the monopoly on the recording industry, it was the only way to copy and spread music at the time.
As always, great episode, keep them coming!
Yes. That's what I was thinking. No idea where I first heard of this or how it worked.
Also known as "ribs". Large x-rays, like of chests worked best.
Imagine lighting the film and be able to visualize the written music data.
So the way "bone music" worked was you took a record, placed x-ray slides over both sides of the record, heated the slides so that they copied the groves (x-ray slides are very sensitive to heat), cut off the square edges so you had a circle, put the two slides together so they were double sided, and voila you had a homemade copy of a record.
X-ray slides were not that hard to get in the USSR because hospitals simply throwed them away when they were done with them. I don't know if when you attached the 2 slides together they were attached directly or if something solid like wood or cardboard was placed between them. It might have depended on the record player being used. From what I heard, the copies had pretty good sound quality if they were done right!
@@Patrick_3751 very interesting. I wonder what made the first person think to try out that method.
Dear David, the ping jin campaign is about the battle to take beijing, not the kmt capital of nanjing. Ping stands for beiping, the name of beijing in republic of china era. It is a small error. The material of this channel is excellent and I am a huge fan.
@lati long No not really. The anglosphere uses the word "Peking".
@@stoneruler mit any more. For a long time.
Thanks you again for such consistently engaging content!
29:57 The Toronto Maple Leafs won something big? History worth remembering.
All the clips of their success are in black & white.
Great that Sukarno’s ascension at Indonesia is mentioned. Mao’s victory plus Sukarno’s rise made a gigantic shift in SE Asia’s geopolitics and their impacts are still around nowadays.
The review of cultural trends adds a great deal to the broadcast. Well done.
Disagree, I can find mountains of "year in review" vids. I didn't come here for that.
Watching this episode Reminds me of that Billy Joel song we didn’t start the fire
Love the Grandpa David vibe of the new video!
will bring the Werther's candies next time
Did you notice his pink socks?
@@TheCimbrianBull Niiiice
Put some shoes on next time
The lens of the KVN tv set was filled with glycerine rather than water. My family was quite well-off by the soviet standards, so they could have a TV set. But even before that, one was installed at a local movie theatre, and my grandpa told me, that he, as a young man, would go there to watch TV translations.
I love the last section, hope some of its events will be more referenced in normal episodes again if that's not actually the case yet. Still waiting for the post-war Canada episode along with one on NORAD and with a special one for Diefenbaker, one of the most forgotten main figures of the Cold War in the 50s/early 60s. Love you guys, keep making good stuff.
Thank you for mentioning "We" by Yevgeny Zamyatin. I have read "1984" several times, but only discovered "We" a few years ago -- it is excellent, and worthy of as much praise as Orwell's work.
The best UA-cam channel!
I wish you had noted that Herman Hesse won the Nobel Prize for literature for 1949. Later in 1960's Hesse's work became a major influence on culture.
Hesse is probably my favorite author. I see so much of myself in his books, especially Steppenwolf.
1:51 his hand placement tho 👀
Another excellent episode that was both informative and entertaining.
more relaxed decor. Amazing video as always! Wait a minute... who pressed dislike there?!!
It must have been a foreign agent! Quickly, find him!
@@TheCimbrianBull I have some of my best men in STASI working on it... Good evening from east Berlin
29:52 I heard he retired to found his own seed & feed store shortly after
Later to be brought by Chuck
@@alexlewis2570 pretty sure Chuck sold him the building, but he was using it for something else
13:00 that wasn't a "weather recon" flight and it almost certainly wasn't between Japan and Alaska, either. Check out "The CIA and Overhead Reconnaissance" by Pedlow and Waldenbach. This was the secret internal history, just declassified 5 years ago. There was some seriously crazy stuff going on back then!
Great content! But the way that u delivered it - Nice and cozy - takes the cake lmao
Great video! Thanks!
So these "World in XXXX" videos takes a look at major historical moments that have occurred during the Cold War.
Anything else you want to point out, detective?
@@jasoninthehood9726 Will there be more in depth history videos on Post-Imperial Japan (1945-Present Day)
At 1:51 it seemed like the guy really liked checking out the troops. Lmao
It’s actually Wolverhampton Wanderers their nickname is the wolves although I follow their biggest rivals West Bromwich Albion nickname the Baggies.
I'm kicking myself for that. yes, it is the Wanderers...I just NEVER call them that...simply "Wolves". Or the Portuguese National Team. Although with Nuno gone, that is likely to break up now too.
As for the Baggies...it's tough to stay up in the Prem...hope to see them back again next season
@@TheColdWarTV nice joke there ‘kicking yourself’, thanks we will be back and without Saudi money 😉
Mendes is the pivot there, not Nuno. The Wolverhampton owners also own part of a company with Mendes. They hold Portuguese players at Wolves in hope of profit.
This really is a fully loaded upload.
💪👍🍀
1:50 nice touch!
27:32 ok I cracked up there ngl.
Cold War, before you move into the 60s, pls remember to recount all the events in the 50!
Everything I ever needed to know in life (Literature, Music, Mathematics, Culture and Physics) I learned from watching "The Bugs-Bunny/Road-Runner Hour"...............
If you are a Boomer or Gen-X it's most likely your introduction to classical music.
^^this. I was introduced to classical music and opera thanks to Looney Tunes.
Fascinating!
Thanks
Hell yeah Indy with some mentions in here, also love the socks
Cold War I love this documentary of each after after the Cold War began!
Pls continue this when going in the 50s!
:sees new cold war video...hits like...then starts watching:
1:50 WTF?!?!?!?
Did anyone else see that?
He adjusted her uniform?
Excellent. Waiting for 1950!
Did this channel ever do a video on the Berlin Airlift? Nice video. My compliments to all those who made this video a reality.
Yes they did early on
@@jimyoung9262---Thanks. I need to watch that.
Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C. known as 'Wolves'
ahaha, yes, it is the Wanderers...I just NEVER call them that...simply "Wolves". well, or the Portuguese National Team
Well to go along with the western Allies merging their occupation zones into one to form West Germany, I combined multiple bell buttons to form one bell button. It was authorized by the occupiers of all the bell buttons. ;) I then pushed it.
Ambassador Anderson lived in my mom's hometown of Red Wing, Minnesota. Her father-in-law invented Puffed Wheat.
I read 1984 age 13 in school and it got me into politics. It is a work of genius as is Animal Farm.
Don't forget Brave New World.
That's cool, as a teacher I bought 1984 for my library so my middle schoolers could begin to learn about socialist politics.
I did end up letting them know the truth about George Orwell, though. A book seemingly dedicated to human freedom was written by a guy who turned his fellow comrades in to British intelligence, and he wrote it and Animal Farm knowing full well that it would be used by the CIA in psychological operations across the Soviet bloc. It was some of the most effective and disingenuous propaganda ever written, a paean against Big Brother disseminated by an elder male sibling. It's a good book whose full importance is often missed.

26:40 - it was only on for a microsecond, but i have so many questions! look at how the guy takes his free throws! was that the way they did it at the time? where can i fidn out more?
Lionel Hampton played the VIBES.
"Some people referencing it [1984] have even read it!"
Ha ha ha ha oh well played
Ohh I heard the town Tomsk listed… That’s where my Great Grandfather was from
27:32 Ohhh, the burn hahaha
What's going on at 21:15 - 22:10 ? What movie is that scene from?
Killer thumbnail
Could you do something on the cold war during the 80's? So much, not just your channel, look at the end of WW2
No one is gonna mention those socks in the beginning, huh? The cameraman wanted to make sure we knew about it with that slow zoom in the beginning and I suspect David didn’t just happen to have his foot propped up like that. Ok then, I’ll see myself out.
Excellent comprehensive documentary. Just one small pronunciation comment: the Soviet nuclear scientist's name is pronounced
Kur-CHA-tov, NOT KUR-cha-tov. Otherwise, great work!
What’s the ending theme music name
Wow
Hey would u explain post war Korea ?
Regarding the Catholic Church, I think it would be interesting for you to comment about the sympathy of Communist activists, including leftist priests, against the US backed dictatorships in Latin America, and even though they were Communist they're far from being progressive thinking and were actually very conservative in a traditional sense.
I once saw a picture of a bishop holding a copper pendant what looked like a sickle and hammer, but there was another Jesus on it. I feel very shocked.
@可爱 包:The leadership of the Russian Communist Party announced not long ago that Jesus was the first Communist in the world. We will soon see a new liberation theology in Europe
Ronald Reagan literally martyred a Catholic saint named Oscar Romero in El Salvador, whose "crime" was demanding an end to the death squads the CIA let loose in his country.
Communist relations to religion have become far more complex since Stalin's time. Liberation theology is part of the ideological foundations of Bolivarianism, as well as the latter-day Cuban Revolution. Jesus was indeed a socialist, at the very least.
@DS Well my thought process got a little messy as I was writing, but here's a clarification. I was first and foremost thinking of my country, Brazil, as an example. The military dictatorship was established in 1964 and officially institutionalized in 1968, so it was during the counterculture years, and my country's youth at the time was very influenced by it, and there was a number of student activists who were clearly socialist in their ideology but very conservative in terms of tradition and religion, so the sexual liberation of the late 60s and 70s was very controversial in their view, especially in relation to hommosexuality, Che Guevara was an icon of the socialist world, as it still is, and was by our standards a homphobic that executed and arrested several hommosexuals during his lifetime in Cuba. Of course most of these people were very liberal thinking in this manner and still Catholic, but it also sparked a reponse by the some high figures in the Brazilian Catholic Church that were aligned with the Military Dictatoship. And just to clarify more I am a Liberal and Progressive thinking person, and consider myself as a center-right thinking person, not a reactionary "dictatorship widow" as we call these nostalgic people here in relation to that time, with some even saying it wasn't a Dictatorship at all. Well, I hope you have understood now.
@peter michalski You are very uneducated and your standards are biased. I'm not going to engage with trolls, save to point out that if I hired a hitman to murder this troll, I would still be guilty of his murder, the same way that Ronald Reagan is currently burning in Hell for his many sins against the Latin American people.
You covered the early space race, how about the story about the race to the moon and why the Soviets dropped out.
Regarding advances for women: Ana Pauker became foreign minister of Romania in this period and the unofficial leaders of the Romanian communists after WW2
About the ambassador thing? Wasn´t Alexandra Kollontaj first? She was ambassador in Stockholm in the 1930:ies wasn´t she?
Absolutely awesome socks!!!
Orwell fought against Franco during the Spanish Civil War...but he did not serve with the Republican faction, but rather the Anarchists. (See Homage to Catalonia...) The Marxists ultimately attacked the Communists... Orwell had a price on his head and was lucky to get out of Spain... YP
I thoroughly enjoy these summarized videos of the early post-war years, especially because these years (1946-1949) are barely mentioned in the grand scheme of things. That being said, as this channel progresses I don't know if it's necessary to have a summary for each year leading up the end of the Cold War, even though I probably would have enjoyed them as well.
If anything, it would be interesting to have a summary of the last 5-10 years, at least, given that there are certainly many factors outside politics that lead to the collapse of the USSR.
Oh, I've read it . . . my head always winds up in a rat cage . . . I have to stop eating moldy cheese.
Completely different experience for African Americans

"His talents alone could win a team a championship."
Well, why did he not win any then?
A misleading statement. Sharing music by phone in the 1950s meant putting the phone right up to the radio to share a song or instrumental. No computerised phones (cell phones as we know them) till the end of the 1990s.
Coyote and road runner is the best thing happened in 1949.
Another double plus documentary.
In November 1949, the UN passed a resolution that libya will gain independence before 1 January 1952..

Coincidentally I'm currently reading Orwell's 1984. One part that grabbed my attention was the concept of the "two minute hate" that everyone observes every morning when starting the work day. Everyone gathers in front of a vid screen and is presented with a political villain, someone whom Big Brother has found to be acting contrary to the needs of the State. After the allegations are read about the individual, everyone screams in rage at the person for two minutes. The protagonist, Winston Smith, finds the practice to be immoral but goes along with it anyway, lest he be accused of not hating the villain as much as everyone else. It put me in the mind of how everyone used the news and social media for four years to lambast Donald Trump but with little or no evidence.
Where's the 1950 episode :(
Why do I get adds for "Mein Kampf" when I watch this? I'm in Germany and the regular copy is still against the law.
Need timestamp
Nice socks!
You forgot to mention Republican Senator Margaret Chase Smith in the female empowerment in politics. She was the first woman to serve in both houses of the United States Congress. She entered the Senate in 1949.
Can you please explain what were strategies by which Both powers tried to increase their influence economically , politically, militarily

In March 1949, Syria's fragile experiment with democracy fell victim to a military coup. With Husni Zaim seizing power, the army took over the country for the first time after achieving independence from France. In neighboring Lebanon, a short-lived uprising carried out by SSNP leader Antoun Saadeh was quashed by the Lebanese security forces and Saadeh was captured and executed in July 1949. Meanwhile, back in Syria, Zaim's regime subsequently fell to military factions loyal to Sami Hinnawi in August. Hinnawi's regime sought to align Syria with the Hashemite monarchy in Iraq, but because they were backed by the British, other Syrian army officers rallied and overthrew Hinnawi in December 1949 and Adib al-Shishakli took power, bringing the number of coups Syria experienced in a single year to three.
👍
Marx was an Athiest, but your 'religion is the opiate of the people' quote is often misunderstood. Here is it in more context: "Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people." He's talking about opium as a pain killer. He means that religion soothes people's pain about the miserable state of things, while doing nothing (by itself) to fix the underlying problem.

I take it you aren't aware that Poles were also major targets of the Holocaust, or that Pius XII hid Jews in the Vatican?

Why do ppl think war mongers would ever follow rules to war? If death is the final solution, why would they follow your rules? I never really understood that.
Hi Rendo,
In large part, they do follow international rules of war.
Why? Many of those in charge of militaries aren't warmongers. They only reluctantly go to war. Their main hope is to deter the enemy from attacking.
Second, there are things more horrifying than death. Torture, for instance. In general, the laws of war prohibit those things that most people feel are even more horrifying than soldiers killing each other.
Third, they abide by the rules so the other side will too. They don't want to make mass killing made too easy by employing WMD. They want their captured soldiers to be treated humanely, so they treat enemy soldiers that way. They don't want their civilians to be targeted, so they don't target the enemy's civilians.
There are violations, of course, just as there are violations of all laws. But most of the time, the rules of war are adhered to.
Non conformity came with a price. Hmm. Something seems very familiar.
cold war is the most interesting event in human history the modern world id made out of it
Interesting indeed
Agreed. Fascinating time in history, personally find the eastern block countries very exciting to learn about. They were like a totally different world compared to the west. Also interesting considering its only been 30 years since the end of it all. So recent, but also so far away
My grand father's older brother fought and died as a Forest Brother to save his beloved fatherland of Estonia from the reds, he died somewhere on the island of Saareema in 1944.
