If Russia is so good at defeating it's enemies in the winter, then how come they lost the cold war?
this is gold
Because the Russian has a limit, they're supposed to win but the world gets colder, ya wanna know, why?
because of global warming duh
Nice one

I got goosebumps when he started talking about the Berlin Wall coming down. I was taught this history as a kid, but as an adult I comprehend it much better.
I’ve decided to watch his videos and the visual representation really helps me understand what was going on. As a kid, I remembered what happened but I didn’t comprehend the consequences of these events.
I remember watching the coverage on TV as a teenager. As an American of German descent, it brought happy tears and still does to thus day.
@@laurapeter3857how old are you now?
Yeah man, I'm from India.. and I've learned all this in school in textbooks.. never found them interesting or understood them properly.. watching it as an adult gives me chills..
Same here. You know what's really moving is the song "Wind of Change" by the (West German) rock group Scorpions. He literally wrote the lyrics in Moscow after performing at the Moscow Peace Festival in August of 1989, noticing the positive feelings that change and peace and an end to the cold war were on the horizon...they could just FEEL it. Sure enough, the Berlin Wall came down just 2 months later and the song became a virtual anthem for the entire change and hope that came with it. The Scorpions literally played the song for the 10 year anniversary of the fall of the Berlin wall. The video for the song represents much of this as well. It's abosutely moving. Few songs can give me those kind of goosebumps, but this one for sure makes the cut! I was also too young to fully comprehend all of it in 1989 (I was 13 or 14), but I could certainly grasp the tension between the USSR and the USA, and distinctly remember when the wall fell it was absolutely unbelievable!
2:27 this guy deserves some sort of trophy or medal for single-handedly not causing a nuclear war.
edit: prevented*
but he also not caused one too
He was actually awarded the first Future of Life award posthumously to his family in 2017
@@mollusckscramp4124 Ok good. Or else I would be even more disappointed in humanity.
There's one more guy that saved the world from nuclear holocaust. If you're interested google "the man who saved the world". There's even a movie/documentary that came out in 2014.
Buzzkill!
I think he deserves a little more than that for preventing nuclear annihilation of most of humanity. He should've won all Nobel peace prices for the next decade at the very least.

I'm proud to say my grandfather (still living as of 2-3-24) was the first pilot to fly into "New Berlin" with a US registered aircraft. November 7th, 1989, him and my grandmother both took barbwire and chunks of the wall. They crossed at checkpoint Charlie and said it was a party all night long.

It's even crazier than that. Under normal circumstances Soviet protocol requires an agreement between two specific people to launch a nuke. *Those two people already agreed,* but it had a quirk that if there was some high-ranking official on board, they'd need to agree too. This guy was that high ranking official.

You should have mentioned the Chernobyl disaster as even soviet officials stated that that was one of the main reasons for the fall of the USSR
100%, after watching the show on HBO, it truly showed how significant the incident was and could've been. Also uncovered many issues within the country
This is the most interesting story I have ever heard. R.I.P to Mikhail Gorbachev for being the game changer
Gorbachev: Free elections
Putin: I am about to end this man's entire carrer
Europa no. Gorbachev was a reformer, he did not want the union to split. He wanted to liberalize it completely and create a new union. The union split up because of the coup. Say thanks to the coup for the millions of lives not Gorbachev

Talk about oversimplified
About the east german government giving in: while it is true that the travel ban wasn't meant to be lifted until next day, it kinda was because someone made a bit of an oopsie and said that to his knowledge, the travel ban lifting was to take effect immediately. So, after everyone heard that, they flocked to the border. The soldiers there, not knowing what to do, phoned a few people and ultimately just let them through because what are you gonna do at that point?

@@malvahalva9610 the one made by EmpLemon?
One of a few others.
There also have been some false alerts, detecting nuclear missles on both sides, when there were none. And they've pretty much had orders to immediatly strike counter attacks, if some missles came. And as you may notice, they just didn't.
Wich is why they are equally as important, because if either USA or UDSSR launched some nuclear missles, because of some false alert, nuclear wasteland and shit...
After soviet union desolved, they learned that those missiles were fake. So, it would not be a nuclear war

Oh my gosh, I cannot believe you actually did a bit of the history of my country, Vietnam !! It was amazing ! I love your channel!
At 0:56 you said, "but Castro felt there was still an impending threat to his regime." How right he was! The information recently declassified from that period shows that after the Bay of Pigs fiasco Kennedy immediately asked his advisors to come up with other ways to get rid of Castro. Kennedy wanted that guy out (not that I blame him for that), and Castro understood this-so of course he turned to the USSR for protection. What else was he supposed to do?

Imagine 2 men standing waist deep in gasoline with a match in their hands, just waiting to see who will drop first. And the rest of the world is standing next to them, unable to do anything. That’s the cold war
More accurately, everyone is waist deep in gasoline and America and Russia are the only ones with matches, since war would mean near-global destruction.

I swear to god the Cold War is just one heart attack after another, and I’m just learning about it. Even before this, I knew how the bay of pigs invasion and the Cuban missile crisis would end, but I’m always on the edge of my seat
it's interesting, that in the West they shows Gorbachev as a good man, but in Russia we are calls him a betrayal, coz after what he did we had very tought period
Yeah his whole videos are frome perspective of western bullshit colonial asshole narrative. Fact is they won so wrote the history. Gorbachev may be a good man but also a weak men who bowed down to bullshit of West.
we'd all be dead if it wasn't for Vasili Arkhipov. Thank god for that guy having the fortitude to say no to launching the nuke

Could you do a video about the cold war between Russia and Finland? I really like to watch your videos cause they are really well explained and I can learn really easily of them.
Nice work man
Enjoyed every second of your video
"And the world got along together, forever after".. Yeah, about that

History fans after surviving ww3 to watch the new oversimplified ww3 video
"A small price to pay for salvation"

2:27 holy shit, this dude is the embodiment of a true chad, not only did he stand up to 2 higher officers and saved all our lives in the process, but he looks like chad.
The virgin stalin vs. The chad arkhipov
He was actually the highest ranking officer, a Commodore, who commanded the entire flotilla. That's why he also got a vote. Because while not the Captain, he did have a higher rank.
All the other subs only required two votes, that of the Captain and the Commissar.
Just imagine the odds that off all the Soviet subs it just happens to be to one that required a third vote. If Arkhipov had picked any other sub as his "flag ship", nuclear war would've happened.
He saved some lives but there are countries that had nothing to do with the cold war and would have no causalities. Think of Switzerland that remained neutral during ww2 even though they were in the center of the conflict...
