Wait, the US had nukes in Turkey? And people wonder why the Soviets were scared.
Dain II IronfootKing Under The Mountain And what they dint mention in the video is that the US also removed missiles from Italy after the crisis
Dain II IronfootKing Under The Mountain I think if you're from the US your high school class has glossed over the Bay of Pigs and the actual status of nuclear weapons during the period. I remember US history in my junior year we watched "13 Days" and that was it. The mention of US missiles in Turkey and the feeling of total crisis in the Soviet Union isn't completely ignored but it's still a shallow tack on. Just how global this crisis was is the most down played part of my old perception of the Crisis. Geopolitical goodness if you're into that kind of stuff. Independent study is the only way to really grasp a lot of the things we're taught to be true.
Dain II IronfootKing Under The Mountain I know they skipped that
Dain II IronfootKing Under The Mountain yeah a lot of people don't know their history and just go off what they hear
Dain II IronfootKing Under The Mountain jeje
One one ever talks about the true hero behind the Cuban Missile Crisis, Vasili Arkhipov, a political officer aboard a submerged submarine carrying nuclear armaments to Cuba that lost communications after being struck by a depth charge; the sub commander believed that the war had begun, and being unable to confirm, made the decision to ready his misses for launch and was only prevented from starting the desolation of the known world by this one man: Vasili Arkhipov.
SuaveStatement boy do we regret his decision knowing now that the whole world is being exploited by the elite few

It will be so great with no technology, radiation, and living to the ripe old age of 27. What a blast.

If nuclear war happened, you would probably be wishing for a non-irradiated Earth. You say this now but will you stand by it when the world is ash. The fact that you can write this means you live better off than a huge portion of the world.
Don't be pathetic, just because I'm 'better off' than 'a huge portion of the world' doesn't mean I cannot advocate for the freedom of the exploited, through nuclear fire if I have to
dont forget Vasili Arkhipov as he stopped his captain from attacking the US Navy with a nuclear weapons. this man is a hero

Don't forget about the Soviet submarine crew who thought that the war started.
2 of the officers wanted to launch the nuclear missiles but a third officer refused
He saved the world
@@uncleflagzz ARGENTINIEN UBER ALLES
did they really? what because they didnt fire the nukes? the were the only ones with the power to start it anyway. if i have a gun and point it at your head, but then decide not to shoot. that doesnt mean i saved your life...
@@edofluit6568 wat? Are u high or wats going on?

Hahahahahaha so true!!!!!

Interestingly the White House and the Kremlin were using letters and telegrams to communicate over the crisis. Only afterwards did the telephone hotline come about, making communications between the two super powers faster.
The soviet union rocks
You missed out a part where a Soviet Submarine was being attacked by US ships dropping Depth Charges as warning shots in order to get it to surface somewhere in Cuba I lost some memory of this so im stating the best I know. While the Sub was being attacked by the warning shots the commander of the sub planned to use Nuclear Torpedoes to retaliate but however it required approval from 2 officers, 1 officer approved it but the other denied it. I dont remember who denied approval of the Nuclear Torpedo launch but he saved the world from Nuclear War and the Sub surfaced.
Simple History do something on Vietnam, anything!
LOL, this is the real hotline bling.
Simple History gulf war pls
What Cold War event do you want to see next?
Can you do the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan next? Great video as always!
JiahTheHuman That is a great idea
Simple History The Korean War or Soviet Invasion of Afghanistan. Please and thank you!
Simple History Vietnam war
I want to see the fall of the Soviet Union.
That one man who declined the launch is a literally real hero of the world. He saved billions and a whole planet of life from dying.
I bet he regrets that
shoulda pulled the trigger so we can go full mad max mode!
My father was in Army basic training during the Cuban Missile Crisis. They had their weapons training and were told if things kick off with Russia they could be skip the rest of their training to be put on the front lines. They figured all they really needed was knowing how to use their weapons and a little fire and maneuver training.
My father was a 19 year old man on the U.S. Theodore Roosevelt working sonar. It was The United States third ballistic submarine. They where waiting for the orders from Kennedy.
My grandfather taught Morse code when this thing broke out. He had similar orders
if keneddy has did any staks fool . ur father will be in the hall in those time
My uncle was on the ship that would be the first one to hit land if Kennedy gave the orders.. I remember the stories he told me about the whole experience. Thank you to your father for his service by the way!!!
Who remembers that Cuban guy from black ops 1
Yeah i remember him, good point there +Steak.! My opinion it will always be the best of the Blackops series it was great. Anyways u can't kill that man.. :) lol In reality did he died from illnes before 1-2 years and stuff.??
Yeah. The first mission I'm pretty sure involves the Bay of Pigs invasion.
Steak he's on the zombies map five aswell
Steak reeeznooov
Steak come on, his name is Fidel Castro, it's not that hard to remember...
Problems with this video:
1. Didn't mention that Kruschev placed the missles in response to U.S. having missles in Turkey, as well as the Cuba's desire to have a deterant against the U.S. invading Cuba, as they had attempted at The Bay of Pigs.
2. Didn't mention that the US did not follow through with removing the missles in Turkey.
3. Didn't mention that US destroyers depth charged Soviet sub B-59 to force them to surface and that, if it were not for the veto of one senior officer, the sub was going to launch nuclear tipped torpedoes at the Blockade, thinking that the depth charges were a signal that war broken out.
Overall, this video white washes US culpability in creating the crisis and the fact that the US almost destroyed the world.
Totally agree
Agreed
Exactly, Russia should again put nukes in Cuba.
@@eliasziad7864 …no?
Mald
hey, great videos guys, just one small thing: the Russian deployment of their nuclear capabilities had come only after the US deployed theirs in Turkey. In fact in the agreement that was signed states that the US will withdraw their nuclear weapons from Turkey, who objected, stating that they will be vulnerable to the ambitions of the Soviets. it was done nevertheless, so i think its a very important detail when describing the cuban missile crisis.
Nope the US didn’t point the missions in turkey
not
US had missiles in Turkey and Italy.
Fun fact: Kennedy not any American is NOT the reason why you are alive today.
Vasili Arkhipov(Soviet Naval Officer) is.
I don't understand how people can dislike this video?
Darth Revan They actually click it to say dis I like.

Boris you are right. The yanks always start some incident and bully small countries first. Cuba, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan............ When Russia or China step in they run for cover and do what they are told.

ALA actually the u.s threatened the soviet union first when they put the missiles in turkey to deter the soviet's from attacking western Europe as the soviet's were already doing so your comment was incorrect

Yes, I see the similarities. When Russia invaded Ukraine, the Cuban Missile Crisis came to my mind first.
@@greenisland2441 yeah crazy how history repeats itself
Of course yes. When I hear of Russia invading Ukraine, I immediately think about nuclear annihilation from Cuba
@@rithvikmuthyalapati9754 im sure nato or us did something dangerous for russia in Ukraine and surprized russian spy find out and choose to invade for protecting the nation from nato😂😂. Nobody is right, truth will be known after both decide to tell to their people
Can't forget about Vasily Arkhipov, the guy who basically stopped WW3
the americans can put nukes in europe.. but the ussr cant in cuba?
Cuba was a Hostile Country, Countries in Europe arent.
It was the North Korea of the 1960s
The situation is a bit different. The Soviets were trying to spread their influence across Eurasia. The Jupiter Missiles were a deterrent to Soviet aggression towards sovereign states protected by NATO (Like Turkey) this was so effective that when the DPRK tried to restart the Korean war but couldn't get any backing from China or the USSR because they were too scared to face American troops and a possible nuclear attack.
Madara Uchiha Bullshit! American propaganda! Winners write history friend. You should hear what others have to say.
luka savić no need to be Hostile but by all means go ahead and explain what the other points of views are.
I believe that your videos are the best thing on youtube..So much information in so little time very simplified. Amazing work!
2:48 RIP U-2 spy plane
The U-2 could not determine the difference between a vacant site, (revetment) a construction site, or an operational site. The "site" was created by grading the site in a particular pattern to enable the rapid movement or the various missile types in or out in under a day. The Russians enjoyed playing maskirovka (deception) with the Americans because once the missile equipment was assembled, it was transportable. The large Ballistic Missiles were transported by TEL (Transporter, Erector, Launchers. (always the stars of the May Day parades.
He forgot to mention, that another reason why the US was angry at cuba was because they started trading sugar for russian oil. When the US found out they told them to stop, and they didn't and in return the US stopped trade with them, pushing Cuba to have Russia as its main buyer. In which stronger ties came about and eventually lead to the missiles being set up in cuba.
Sooooo it's fine for the US to keep their missiles in Turkey but it's not fine for the USSR to keep their missiles in Cuba? Bunch of crybabies...
58 years ago from today. Damn gald to be alive.
Simple history should also say that we had missiles pointed to the Soviet Union in Turkey before the Soviet Union had them in Cuba so the US started the war.
Chase Decker The Us did not start the war.
Almost*
And as a matter of fact, those nukes are still in Turkey in Incirlik Air Base.
Coşkun Akalın the us actually declared war
A commie with a don't tread on my pfp? Wtf?
Thanks for the short, concise recap. I started MGS3 last night but realized quickly that I knew very little about the Cuban Missile Crisis
US placing nuclear missiles within strike range of USSR...... nobody gives a damn
USSR doing the same and everyone loses their mind
Also it was kruschev 's generosity that he agreed to remove the missiles from Cuba which costed him his career!
And old chinese man visited Seoul and arrived Seoul airport custom, He forget where his passport was.
The korean stuff become impatient and asked him "Why you did prepare and hold passport when you are here, is it your first time come here?"
"second time " The old man answered.
"So why you dont know passport is needed?" Said the stuff.
"Because the passport was not required in first time"
"Impossible, Chinese of course need passport to come here. When did you come last time?"
"1951, by a tank "

Learned about wars in depth involving US today in civics when we were learning about international conflict and methods of resolution . This was one of them and it helped 🙌🏽
Love these vids man so educational!
I love these videos can't get enough of them
who else came here after Russia deployed nuclear subs and warships to Cuba recently? btw the fallout music in the background was perfect......
No mention that the placement of the missiles in Cuba was a REACTION to the US placing missiles in Turkey? Middle range weapons have a shorter warning period (shorter travel time), thus shifting the balance in the nuclear stalemate significantly. Moscow was in range of the Turkish missiles, so of course they reacted.
You guys have amazing animations!! I love the videos!!
I never understood why the misile crisis was so important until i watched this video, thank you simple history
Kennedy seemed like a really nice guy. Wish I could've met him

though misleading
jesus christ your so right NOBEL they avoided the fact that the us put the missiles in turkey first, pointing at russia and the ussr had justification to put them in cuba
My great great uncle helped in the Cuban missile crisis
Well, a big part was omiten. Yes, the USSR put missiles in Cuba, but in response of the Jupiter missiles placed by the USA in Turkey, that was literally sharing borders with the USSR. The Soviet president (can someone tell me how it is spelled?) agreed to retire the missiles in Cuba, if Kennedy retired the ones in Turkey, but, just like the video said, they refused and when that was the only solution, they met in secret and so on
America sending weapons to South Vietnam: Soviet No problem

Please do a video on the Luftwaffe. I would love to learn about it. Anyways amazing videos. These are so under rated.
Keep this in mind when you look at Ukraine...
During those times my parents said to me those were humanity darkest days before I was born
My nans relative Ron Blur was a Navigator aboard the Vulcan bomber of the RAF during the Cold War he was once sent out and when aboard he found a letter which he was told to open once they reached a certain altitude and it read, 'don't bother coming back because there will be nothing to come back to'. The British believed a nuke was going to be dropped on them which is why he recieved this letter and it still fascinates me to this day.
This video has helped me .I know have a better understanding of the crisis that took place in the year 1962
The super powers are threat to human races.

So if installation of missiles in Cuba created a threat for US I don't know why Ukrain is not creating a threat to Russia by joining EU and NATO......
That's why russia is invading. To stop that possibility.
@@clarity7060 the only thing that can De-escalate things is if NATO agrees to not expand further from Europe anymore. Ukraine already rejected any request to join nato so tready like this is already close to happening.
They didn't have plans to and the European union is an economic system
Well if you see from my point of view Russia is right cuz if usa can feel threatened by a country in the middle of the world(Iran) and invade them using an excuse then why can't Russia the only thing is that usa fakes a lot Russia just gets straight to the point
@Guardian and Vanguard no the EU and Nato treat ukraine like a pawn sacrifice agaist russia ,you don't know? ukarine was the most poorest country in europe back in 2015 and if they install missile they have to tell you ?
