I find it interesting that before its dissolution, Kazakhstan was the entirety of the USSR, even for a few days
Technically yes, but it's not like the USSR central government moved there or anything. It was just that they still called themselves the Kazakh SSR and hadn't got around to passing a law saying they were independent yet even though they already were because the union didn't exist anymore.

Like the last part of the Western Roman Empire was Realm of Siager around Paris... a technicality that Clovis (King of the Franks and Roman vassal) "solved" by invading and annexing it a few months later. Curious anecdote but mostly irrelevant.
I am not anti-history, but hearing my teacher in school explaining about history, I quickly fell asleep in just about 2 minutes. But I can watch the entertaining videos about history like these for 6-7 hours marathon videos a day
Incredible job making this video. This taught me a great amount of the world history during the last century and it's so valuable in understanding the world today. Thank you so much for this.

Thank you, I was wondering if someone would notice it
Forgive us, I live in the city of Kyzylorda in Kazakhstan, my city is located 500 kilometers from the Aral Sea. My history teacher spoke about how our people quickly depleted this sea, at the moment there is nothing left of the sea. As a Kazakh, I apologize;)

All people outside Germany: Yes. Germany clearly caused the First World War. That a group supported by Serbia killed parts of the royal family of Austria-Hungary, and Austria-Hungary then attacked Serbia, has nothing to do with the First World War. And the fact that Germany was dragged into the war as an ally of Austria-Hungary, was attacked first by Russia and then only defended itself, is also completely irrelevant. Germany is to blame for the First World War. That's why the war winners had to take away 1/3 of Germany's land, occupy their most important economic center and send a bill of any amount in billions every year, which Germany has to pay, although the Treaty of Versailles didn't specify any amount about the reparation payments. No idea why Germans started hating their neighboring states and minorities so much that they elected a man who brought them a better economic situation and who started a new war 30 years after the end of the war against the war winners of WWI. Germany evil. And only through the Americans, Germany learned democracy. America! Fuck Yeah! Land of the Free!

the video of a really trash quality. It's better it didn't exist. It makes it worse by its existence.
Love this channel. Great content as always, easy to understand and to the point.
Small correction on the League of Nations graphic (9:32): Germany was still in the LoN until 1935, even though they had decared they'd leave in 1933. The LoN allowed countries to leave but there was a 2 year transitioning period (similarily to say Brexit after its vote).

Despite the US and USSR being a few miles away from eachother in Alaska and the Far East, there were never any positions of nuclear warheads in Alaska, at least, that the public knows of.
Because no many people was in the east of USSR so it is unprofitable to put rockets there. The distance to the central part of the USSR where many people live would be approximately the same - from Alaska or from main USA territory.
funny how two different worlds were so close to each other. In 1987 an American Woman swam across.
@@airatgimaev6821 yea but remember, the Russian port of Vladivostok, along with North Korea and China, were right across there as well
That's because both countries avoid direct confrontation and rather play the puppet game by aiding other states whoever supporting their ideology.

Been waiting for this video for so long glad it is finally released :D
Great video!
Of course there are details I wish would have been in the video, but for an overview, is this a great video!
yes exactly feel same, i wouldnt have known many of this without this, but more detail.
They voiced what the Western man in the street wants to hear. Nothing new - the rulers are tyrants, winter won the war, other countries were invaded constantly. It would be better to tell about the achievements of Soviet science and technology, about the heroism of people during the war and post-war reconstruction, about how many new cities, roads, enterprises were built, how the population of the country grew, how they helped other countries...
In my personal view, these "headlines" of world history guide me to sources of far more detailed information. As we can gloss over WW2 in a video, it does make us aware of events that we can further study on our own. That's the magic of shows like this.
Would love to see a video on the Romans!! Enjoying the videos thanks 👍
This is a very good summary of what happened. I would recommend it to anyone especially to teachers or aspiring diplomats or to members of the military. I hope you do more of these. Great job!
I would advice against it. The all-important transition period from monarchy to socialist revolutionary rule in Russia, is at best lenient.

@@outerspace7391 not true, but false
I was literally trying to learn something about the USSR yesterday, and today you uploaded a video about it.
You want to learn something about USSR? So Russian Empire's popultaion on 1913 (without Finland) was about 171 millions, in january of 1923 USSR's population was 137 millions. Yeah there was a territory loss of western so-called belarus & ukraine, also of baltic states, but obviously population of those regions wasn't reaching 34 millions, so what happened then? Bolshevik party happened. During WWI they talked about the need to start a civil war, and as a result, they started it. There are at least 10 million of loses during civil war in Russia, which was started by communist. Those loses include victims of the red terror and «prodrazverstka» (confiscation of grain and other agricultural products from peasants) politics arranged by the bolsheviks. The second one resulted in the famine in volga river region which was very horrifying: around 2 millions of deaths, some cannibalism incidents. There was some tries to help victims of the famine including from abroad ones, but they all were supressed by the bolshevik party, moreover they started campaing of destroying russian culture by eliminating remaining parts of the russian orthodox church in region that suffered from the famine. So how then bolsheviks won in the civil war with those to put it mildly unpopular politics? Because of the red terror, which resulted in at least 1 million and up to 2 millions of deaths, especially because of the hostage taking politic: bolsheviks was taking hostages not only to get a ransom, but also to force the officers of the former imperial army to serve in the red army. Also bolsheviks had a conscription army, and the white army was a volunteer one. And there is also a myth that the Whites were supported by the Entente, this is true, but this assistance was extremely limited, and sometimes help went into the hands of the Bolsheviks, for example, when the entente left the port city of Arkhangelsk, then the entire huge arsenal that was stored there went to the Bolsheviks, a similar situation was in Odessa. The Entente believed that the worst outcome for the Russians, the victory of the Bolsheviks, was the best outcome for it, but it was mistaken and the red plague began to spread rapidly to the surrounding countries. So after the end of the civil war there was NEP (new economic policy) which was basically capitalism and this was the best economic development of USSR for all of its history - this is the only fact you need to know about planned economy. But if new economics were the best option for the russian people, the cultural they were suffering a cultural genocide policy called «korenizatsiya» which was a policy of destroying russian identity and making from russians the so-called ukrainians&belarussians in western regions by rewriting russian history, destroying the russian cultural heritage (such as destroying the church as i said) and eliminating russian intelligentsia by killing them or forcing to flee from country. But in 1929 there was a moment of the «great brake» and all of 30s were a new huge wave of genocide of russians policies: in the period of 1930-1934 died about 8 millions in all of the USSR, most suffered region was the «middle-volga kray» and all of the volga, don and kuban rivers regions with saved russian majority and not the ukraine, but ukraine also suffered a lot and actually as i said majority of so-called ukrainians had a russian identity before the 1920s, so this golodomor tradegy is not genicide of ukrainians, but the genocide of russians. Also kazakhstan suffered but not mainly kazakh people but the russian nation: in ural river and north kazakhstan regions there were a russian majorities, but all russian population of those regions were deported and only in north kazakhstan this majority was restored (nowadays it is opressed by kazakhstan authoritarian xenophobic regime minority), but to the ural river region russians never returned. So, only to the 40s there were at least 20 millions of deaths that were mainly a russians, but this genocide never stopped to this day in the territories of former Russian Empire, it just remains unnoticed not only in the West, but also among the Russians themselves, but this is another conversation. Obviously USSR is not Russia, for the Russian nation USSR is something like Nazi Germany for the Jews (but don't forget that nazies also wanted to destroy the Russians, not only the Jews and Poles). Please share this information with your people, world must know about this.

My great-grandfather, Yaakov Pevzner, lived on the outskirts of Leningrad when the Germans invaded in 1941. His house was repossessed by the Soviet government to use for the war effort. This resulted in him moving into the center of Leningrad, which was now blockaded by the German Navy. Throughout 1942, my great-grandfather suffered through the worst of the Blockade of Leningrad. He was evacuated in 1943, after the victory at Stalingrad. He was taken to Kyrgyzsia (Kyrgyzstan), where he first met my great-grandmother. One year later, in 1944, they had their first child, my maternal grandma. At the same time, Yaakov's cousin, Sacha, was shot down by the Luftwaffe. He was lucky to survive, but his legs were shattered. He, a member of the Soviet Air Force, should have been given military awards for his bravery. Instead, once the war was over, Stalin put him in a gulag. Sacha survived that only because Stalin died in 1953. One of Georgy Malenkov's first acts after Stalin's funeral was to release all prisoners in gulags, which included my great-grandfather's cousin. Sacha died in 1971, without receiving any military awards from Malenkov, Khrushchev, or Brezhnev. However, my great-grandfather received three Thank You Letters: one from Gorbachev, another from Yeltsin, and a third one from Lukashenko. He also got military awards from Andropov and Chernenko. Yaakov was NOT in the Red Army, Navy, or Air Force. He was simply a factory director who survived the blockade in Leningrad. Furthermore, he lived long enough to see the fall of the Soviet Union, the rise of Yeltsin, Putin, and Lukashenko, and long enough for me to actually know him. He was born in 1919 and passed away in 2012. He was born before the Soviet Union was and died after the Soviet Union did.
Wow am I included?
He lived for 93 years
Great Video. Thank you!!

A great video explaining a very difficult to understand history of Europe and Asia.
Goes to show our histories, origins and cultures are never as clear cut and straight forward as we like to think.
It gives us some understanding of why we will always have wars in this part of the world unfortunately, and why the borders of Eastern Europe were always changing, and sadly always will.
I like how at the end of the video, you can see Finland's borders but no one else and it also has its old borders
Thanks to this video I will never forget the meaning and pronunciation of the word Rapprochement ;)
The way it's told simplifies a complicated subject and puts opinions and singular facts as major deals that in itself made major changes
Its SUPER hard to summarise a whole country's history but this guy just did it! Most underrated UA-camr.

Star Wars, of more properly known as Strategic Defense Initiative, really helped ruin the USSRs economy. Star Wars could have totally fake, but when presented to the Soviets, it was real. That was one of the elements that brought down the Soviet Union.

That's why that region (Lower Austria) was in red color between 1945-55.
Yeah, they agreed to make the country neutral by treaty, what is still formally a thing. Then they tried to do the same with Germany but didn't work.

Very cool, now do one Europe and especially Asia if you can. I am curious to see how much of roman culture survived, seems Italy and Germany kept Western Rome alive and it's been battling Eastern Rome who escaped to Russia for almost a couple thousand years now.
That's really weird way to put it. Roman culture is long dead. Reneissance isn't a thing anymore. Etc. Noone speaks Latin or Greek koine anymore. Even Eastern slavic languages are divided into 3, not a single one resembling what was used in times of ERI.

Great video thnx!
When will this video be released on the Russian version of Geo History?
Some more tips (by the memory so some facts might be not very accurate):
1. Situation in Russian Empire during the WWI: The most of Russian industry belonged to foreign capital and hosts, the formal liberation of peasants wasn't enforced with any new law or orders - politics of Alexander The 3rd Peacemaker and Nicolas The 2nd - last imperator - were rather cold to peasants and workers. The lost "little victorious" Russian-Japanese war of 1904, The 1st revolution of 1905 wich was savagely shot down at the rising and the common status of reforms - all these tips became a soil for revolutionary charge.
The last two things to brake all believe to Tsar are (1) Enter to WWI (this decision wasn't unescapable) and (2) the doll-position of a new-built state body - Legislature (rus. Земское Собрание - Lands Forum) - it was fully taken under the Imperator's will with no chance to pass it. Nicolas The 2nd since 1914 and till 1917 made the Legislature to deny all decisions and all deputats to leave back to homes 3 (!) times. After the kill of Gregory Rasputin before the February Revolution of 1917 (Tsar's adviser with reputation of both seduced Saint and an Oracle, who said that if Russia will take part in the war when everything will crumble down) lots of hidden revolutionaries of Marxist/Anarchy/Anti-Monarchy/pro-rich/pro-foreign/radical and forbidden politition unions began to call workers and peasants to deny power of legal bodies. After the lost Kornilov's riot and the attempt of him to take Russia under control of Tsar-loyal generals the "white' powers lost popularity in european Russia and were made to face "Reds" in a civil war under the music of people pain - poor harvest, maraudering of outskirts by all parties, savage diseases and so on.
The level of chaos was so high that for example some northern-caucasus divisions were taken into reds and whites both same time and because of that were getting double salaries of both red and white armies.
+ The intervention was really deep and with its hepl huge parts of "Imperial property" was taken abroad by white armies, including the most of state gold reserve, royal property and treasures, banks and so on. None of these were given back to USSR or RF.
+ The rise of some local national and politition groups made the situation even more foggy. For example - appearing and short existing of Far-East Republic (rus. Дальневосточная Республика) wich isolated the east border till Reds to come at places and undertake this "state" to Soviets.
And one more fact. The Soviet (rus. Совет) means The Forum or - if to be more accurate - The process of democratic voting and actions.
2. The Holodomor (rus. Голодомор - Hunger and Death of diseases) happened because a lot of reasons and the politics of Joseph Stalin (Joseph Djugashvili, "Stalin" - is a pseudoname) wasn't that matter. Very poor harvests and deny of peasants to work at fields for free, insufficient of food supplies in cities, lack of tools and an industrial-coursed economy at last - all in common made regions of european Russia, Ukraine and Belarus suffer the most of overs when the Test by climate has come (actually even today these lands aren't very great to gathering food if to compare 'em with France of USA for example).
+ contradictions of new thing - sovhoz/kolhoz (rus. Совместное Хозяйство / Коллективное хозяйство, shortened Совхоз/Колхоз - common/collective hosting)
3. The Great Purge of 1936 further turned into The Great Terror of 1937-1938 (rus. Большой Террор), wich was started by an order 00447 of NKVD and signatured by Nikolay Ezhov - director of this service (rus. Народный Комиссариат Военных Дел, НКВД - People's Commissariat of Military Cases.... ~close translation). Unlike the Purge task - to clean away too radical and "original" revolutionaries - the next one's task was originally - to give local powers (like city/district soviet etc) ability to judge weird or anti-soviet elements in "Triple court", made of NKVD member, local Administration head/member and a Procurator - they could blame anyone, arrest and judge without the regular procedures. One month later the taste of ability to arrest and send you enemies away or even to execute them has become "meta". The most suffering of this order were old/original KPoSU members.
Stalin's step in the Terror isn't so large (unlike the Purge, wich ejected Trotsky and co. away of USSR as "radicals" who were fans of original Marx plan to wreck states apart), prolonged for a year this part of an operation against of "Kulacks" (rus, Кулак - Fist, the creditor in speaking russian) and counter-revolutionaries was criticised by Stalin and stopped with arrest of Nikolay Ezhov. A new director of NKVD - Beria Lavrentii (one of Stalin's old friends) - fired about 90% of NKVD workers because it was "overcrowded". So make your conclusion about the effectiveness of some early soviets bodies.

+ In soviet (and modern russian) history "war for Khalkhin-Gol" in Mongolia of 1939 is a border conflict same as conflict for Khasan Lake in 1937 nearby.
+ Soviet Union is the last state who made a "peace" with The 3rd Reich, remarks: GB - september of 1938, France - december of 1938, then Romania, Lithuania, Italy, Denmark, Estonia, Latvia and only then - USSR... This list misses more amendments though...
some more to say if you like...
+ от голода больше всего пострадал Казахстан и кроме троек НКВД было еще и двойки( во времена репрессий), это суд, который состоит только из прокурора( который обвиняет) и судьи ( который выдвигает вердикт по делу), самое смешное, что сейчас в современной России суд называется самым гуманным в мире
@@Lberlinsu про самый гуманный суд в мире - это шутка в среде юристов, как, например, в среде оружейников есть шутки про пакистанское происхождение...
Во всех странах правосудие работает несколько по-своему, в силу чего порой встречаются такие положения законодательства, которые у нас либо не имеются, либо намного мягче, либо противоречат нашей уголовной доктрине. Например, только у нас имеется такое процессуальное положение, что для начала расследования следует возбудить уголовное дело на основании фактов, добытых в предварительных следственных действиях, Оперативно-Розыскных Мероприятиях и т.д.
В других странах расследование запускается без необходимости в наличии уголовного дела - его собирают по ходу... И на обилии таких мелочей, которые могут стать решающими в суде, возникла эта шутка.
Поискал, кстати, про двойки. Вообще я знаю про двойку, как дуэт главы НКВД и представителя от Прокуратуры СССР (допускаю у них "филиалы" на местах, о чём не могу быть уверен, ибо искать лень), но они не судили сами, а утверждали репрессионные списки, наделяя документы юридической силой.
Сведений о двойках, как самостоятельных судах не помню и не смог найти, но исходя от вашего описания, это просто обычный суд - судья и обвинитель, перед ними подсудимый, у подсудимого советник - адвокат. Нормальный стандарт в мире, в общем-то что сегодня, что лет 100 назад.

Fact:
Austria/Hungary didn't immediately go to war with Serbia after the assassination of Franz Ferdinand.
They were of the opinion/thinking that Serbia was directly involved in the whole thing,so they sent a 10 point ultimatum to Serbia.
Serbia went along with 8/9 points of it,they asked for the 1 or 2 points they didn't agree with be submitted to the international tribunal at the Hague.
Austria/Hungary considered this to be a rejection of the whole ultimatum,so war was declared.
because the ultimatum was literally impossible
@@charlie8344 Austria could've just as easily negotiated with Serbia over the sticking points of the ultimatum.
Austria wanted to go to war.
would like to see such a presentation of the crusaders area
I wonder if people will actually think while watching this. Isolation is always a way to a war. Isolation of a big power results in great wars. There will be always small conflicts, but isolation will only escalate everything. I wonder what will happen if EU and NA will further isolate Russia right now. At least China and India is smarter i guess.
Certain European countries should isolate themselves from the US. The problem is on the one hand you have big angry American NATO... on the other you cause friction with the EU. By the way, I meant Germany and France and the Nordic countries.
Nato brought piece and unity in Europe as there was always war between countries. Every addition to nato means a country living in peace. In the history of Russia we can clearly see they will take every opportunity to conquer other countries. Unfortunately for Ukraine and Georgia the NATO membership came too late. But fortunately for Finland and Sweden it openend their eyes.
@@waylon6241 Taking the opportunity to annex/conqure a country when given is a trait for every nation it ain’t only a Russian thing 🥴
@@waylon6241 NATO was created as a military alliance against the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union is no more, but the alliance remains, and this makes you think about who is now NATO's rival. after the fall of the Berlin Wall, there was an agreement between Gorbachev and Western leaders to stop the expansion of NATO, and what we see is seias, a huge "army without a goal" at our borders
@@user-tt4hy1yx4d Meanwhile, Russia threatens the NATO countries - Poland and the baltic countries, and not vice versa. This is Russia attacking other countries for the purpose of occupation, not NATO.
I still remember when kazakhstan was the ''soviet union'' for 4 days straight. , I still remember also when the nuclear disaster happened it was terrifying.
When it happened I was 8 and didnt understand shit. I only knew people had to leave a certain zone near Kiev, it was so far away from me (Siberia) that I didnt care until I got to know the aftermath of the disaster
“We drove across the Red Square past Lenin's Mausoleum and the towers and domes of the Kremlin--and stopped a block away at the Grand Hotel.
Our rooms were ready for us--clean and comfortable, with hot and cold water, homelike settees and deep roomy chairs. Courteous attendants were there, baths and elevator, a book shop and two restaurants. Everything that a hotel for white folks at home would have--except that, quite truthfully, there was no toilet paper. And no Jim Crow.
Of course, we knew that one of the basic principles of the Soviet Union is the end of all racial distinctions. That's the main reason we had come to Moscow.”

Just like Reagan meeting random German tourist on Red Square... named Vladimir Putin...
In USSR there was no race discrimination because everyone was discriminated....
video great . thanks you so much
Thank you very much 😊! Было классно посмотреть и на русском, и на английском.
After continuously watching video after video. I have accepted there shall always be a rise and fall of nations. Peace is not a guarantee but rather just a short-term agreement between one government to another.
When a population rises against the ruling class there are always nations waiting, willing to finance a coup d'etat. I hope citizens could see this as I do. The weakness starts internally.
The actual reason why Russia mobilized as Austria-Hungary was about to invade Serbia was that the Russians caught wind of just how big an army the Austrohungarians were assembling and concluded that it was A LOT of soldiers if you only wanted to have a war with Serbia. Without going into too much detail, by that moment, a continental war had been looming for some time, e.g. see the Second Moroccan Crisis of 1911.
You guys over there @ Geo History are Awesome👍
Very well done, you covered a lot in a short space of time.
Only one error you use the word Rapprochment too much.How can Russian and Cuba have a rapprochment when they were not even antagonists?

That map is flawed- Estonia got united into single administrative zone composing of largely modern borders by russian provisional goverment back in 1917. Same applied to Latvia. Also Belarus has *never* reached that far north. Not even close. Also bolsheviks werent *forced* to recognise independences of countries by treaty of Brest-Litovsk.
Yeah, the part about "forcing" recognition was... surreal.
Thank god someone said this. I could not handle nobody saying it. It's too big of a deal. I just couldn't. Thank you for curing
Interesting how the germans still used the names Courland and Livonia for the regions of Latvia and southern Estonia. The 2 were duchies under the polish-lithuanian commonwealth courland in particular having an impressive navy and even colonizing at one point.
So well narrated you forget you're just staring at a map for 24 minutes.
Uncomfortably close to Russian propaganda. Which is also 'beautifully' narrated.
