#ColdWar #1950
These kinds of episodes are my favourites because they have a lot of ”fun facts”.
"Fun Facts" makes me depressed 😀
They are a ton of work to make but they are very interesting snapshots of a period in time
@@TheColdWarTVserious qiestion...and forgive my stupidity but was East Germany ever offically recognised by the western allies?
@jaws666 full UN member status was given to East Germany in 1973 (same time as West germany) by means of Security Council Resolution 335 and official US recognition happened in 1974. Once West Germany's Hallstein Doctrine fell away in 1969, it was just a matter of time that it happened.
@@TheColdWarTV ah cool...thanks for the info,much appreciated my friend.👍👍
An interesting Cold War tidbit: In the early 80's I was an engineer on the "Blue Shuttle" project. The idea was that in the event of an impending nuclear exchange, a number of Space Shuttles, under the command of the US Air Force, would launch into orbit with nuclear weapons on board. They were to serve as a second strike reserve. It never got off the ground, no pun intended, because of scattered management and cost overruns. One of the interesting problems was that the Space Shuttle crawler that transported it from the assembly building to the launch pad was designed for the flat terrain of Florida. To be used at Edwards Air Force Base, the crawler would need to have been able to keep the Shuttle level over gradients in the path between buildings. That turned out to be so hugely expensive that it killed the project.
fascinating...i'd never heard of this until now. Thank you for sharing!
Always found it amazing that a country as small as Isreal was (at the time before she captured terrirtory) and surrounded by hostile enemies on all fronts not only survived but took the fight to her enemies and kicked ass.
Wow that's interesting! It's crazy, I mean when you were doing that I was likely just born haha (I was born in '83). There are so many stories from the Cold War to be told
@@jaws666it's amazing for sure but sadly people in Palestine are still suffering greatly from increasing hard-line Right wing Israeli tactics and it's 2023 now
@@teethgrinder83 oh so true sadly
When you began talking about wallets and diners club, was anyone else waiting for him to go into a ridge wallet commercial? 😂
No.
Christopher Hitchens's The Missionary Position explodes the myth of Mother Teresa.
You should definitely do a video like this for ever decade like 1950, 60, 70, etc. and maybe even videos for 1955, 65, 75 too
The Syracuse NBA team was actually the Nats, short for Nationals. They moved to Philadelphia in the 1960's and are now the 76ers. Also, the Lakers were playing in Minneapolis at the time.
Also it's pronounced Lie-ver birds not liver, despite the city being Liverpool. Still a cool vid!/
Yet another incredibly interesting video on a crucial year in history! 👏
Another important event was the signing of the Sino-Soviet pact in February 1950 - the alliance of the Soviets with communist China which caused much concern in the US and set the tone for the Cold War.
I’m so glad that these are back!!!
Love your videos ❤
In the Soviet Union, remote control was never introduced on Soviet made TVs.
Nice recap video
Good stuff :)
I agree with you hanzup
I really enjoyed this one.
Glad you enjoyed it
@@TheColdWarTV ...love this kind of episodes, i think every year of the cold war would deserve an episode like this!
Woah I just saw this video come up and it looks cool
Thanks
29:04 Kamen Rider Zero One, as the first Rider series of Reiwa Era Japan would use the premise of war between humans and man-made robots with limitless potential thanks to advanced AI.
Nice.
Good video, I hope there will always be videos about the Cold War
So do we. Like, share and subscribe to make sure can keep going!
There's only so much time, eventually it'll exceed the actual length of the cold war.
Thank you for another interesting episode to listen to. I want to read more Asimov soon I think; I was excited to hear him getting a shout-out in this one!
God be with you out there everybody. ✝️ :)
Really cool episode. Thanks!
Also the year my father was born:))) ....love this kind of episodes, i think every year of the cold war would deserve an episode like this!
I love this channel and it's format. Are you tied to indie niedell and time ghost? Both have similar set ups and i love this format quite a bit.
They are not. They're affiliated with the same team that produces kings and generals channel
2:54 David: "only 69 seats"
Me: "Nice"
David: "Nice"
Me: 😍😍😍
Hang on a second! Are you telling me that that terribly smart handset on the end of a long grey cable like a phone wire that let my grandmother change the channel on her RCA TV (black and white, of course) was at least 18 years old at my first memory of it? I'm shocked!
Why use a remote, when you can use your kids?😁
Ohh there are some bits that blink to black on this video, I thought my TV was broken!
😂I like the I-Robot quote about the rules of Asimov.
Now look at any robot today and you won't find them.
Where you find them? In self driving cars. They just crush over people. They just need a NY voice "I'm driving here".
Informative, have historically interesting values and enjoyable watching...thank you ( the Cold 🥶 war) channel... many of those information were hidden by former authors from youth generations' eyes 👀 due to political reasons in MiddleEast countries
"Unarmed trainig flight". I find it hard to belive such training flights would be conducted right next to the border of your geopolitocal rival.
I'm kind of shocked at how little videos you have about Israel, I definitely think you should go back to the topic after a couple of years and maybe redo some of the videos, even though you're already quite far past it chronologically with your videos.
Looks like your work is cut out for you: episodes for each year until 1991. Good watch please do more!
32:11 yes do the National defense episode
I find it so weird that us Scots wanted to play football barefoot-i mean it's really not the best weather to practice barefoot over here except for the summer, you'd probably get frostbite from Oct to Feb lol
The defence production act of 1950 sounds somewhat like the patriot act.
It's functionally identical, just with differences in technology.
Noice!
Republic day in India, adoption of constitution in 1950 was missed perhaps.
URUGUAY NOMA!!!!
Sí señor!!! URUGUAY NOMAAAA!!
Big 1950s energy
👍
Always use cash when I can. The bank, and others, then don't know how I spend my money. I really enjoy it when a vendor has problems with cash payments as well!
What was the bank robbery in 1984?!
I wonder was Ralph Bunche's award the start of the long tradition of throwing Nobel Peace prizes at the Arab Israeli conflict. Lots of peace prizes but still no peace unforunately.
Without justice, there can’t be peace. Sadly.
The Korean war was one of the bloodiest wars in history? Should we not say something more like 'one of the longest drawn out armed conflicts' to reflect that it extends from history up to the current day? Just a thought.
It is implied that it referring to the war up until the armistice.
@@ChineseKiwi yes, as was often the case. Given the context, it's clear what time was being discussed. The armistice was in 1953, and the Cold war ended in 1991. So my question was not 'in which part of the 1950's were the Korean people actively engaged in conflict. That's a better question for a video about the Korean war. With respect to the Korean War in 1950, your response would make sense, but that is not what the video alluded to in its general description of the war being "bloody", which is why I asked the question I asked specifically in the way that I asked it.
Fun fact: Mother Theresa is possibly the most evil person mentioned in this video.
Why do you think so?
@@Numba003 she would refuse medicine or pain management to the people in her hospital because suffering brings you closer to God, with some accusations that she would do the same with food and water and so on. She had a very specific fetishized take on her faith.
@@Nope_handlesaretrash I don't know much about Mother Theresa other than the fact that she helped the poor in India. Despite her faults, I think evil is probably an unfair assessment. Do you have any good resources you could recommend I read on the subject?
Later, R. Daneel Olivaw adopted the zeroeth law that a robot may not harm humanity or through inaction allow humanity to be harmed....
.... and became our robot overlord.
6:59 lol your mouth is out of sync!
Nice video, can you do a video on America’s history with immigration similar to the Britain video.
1950, the year in which I was born. Big whoop ... LOL
and the Toronto Argonauts beat the Winnipeg Blue Bombers to win the 38th Grey Cup in what would be called the "Mud Bowl".
Would like to see more about the action in Puerto Rico. I was unaware of that. Regarding McCarthy, I think the publication of the Venona Papers in the 1990s served to confirm much of his concerns about Commies in our government. The awarding of the Nobel Prize to Obama completely undermines the reasons for its existence as Obama had done nothing at the time he received the award.
The idea that India didn't participate in the World Cup due to the need of shoes is a myth. Indian players had no issue with playing with shoes. They withdrew due to travelling costs.
Balian of Ibelin should have gone through with his plan to raze the damned city to the ground and leave not a single stone in place... it would have saved the world a lot of trouble.
Did the Soviets have their own sporting events? Who won what?
15:32 and almost sound like they have failed their economics class with none of them wanting to admit it, am I right? 😂
McCarthy was ultimately right about the US state department and also broadly correct in his fears.
The issue was he had no evidence. So he was essentially just going. I know, but also I don't know.
Pedant Army assemble.
@24:07 the case was solved by Lt. Frank Drebbin of Police Squad!!! Way to go Frank! (I knew you were good for something, besides parking/running into fire hydrants; making fun of George Kennedy, and slapping OJ down the stadium aisle) 😂🤦♂🤣
Holla to all the pedants out there in the comments.
“…almost as if those critics don’t know the meaning of Communism.”
Understatement of the century.
Most people don't realize socialism and communism are different words, different schools of thought with different definitions and end goals.
@@samwill7259 The same thing with Marxism, Leninism and Stalinism. They have a strong fundamental difference. Marx believed that a faux democratic election was necessary to place socialist politicians in office, but Lenin, after the Russian Revolution, realized that a phony election wasn't necessary for them to keep control over the government.
@@chrisbutler1668 Many or most modern socialist ideaologies believe in actual substantive democracy. If anything BECAUSE of the direct examples provided by leninism, stalinism and maoism
Wow. Spoken like a true Canadian. Notice that he never speaks out against Canadian policy or government.....must be a reason for that.... maybe he'd be targeted if he was. Shame...
69 seats...nice
Another great video. Speaking of mcarthyism, we're facing it now but its waning down.
Ah, hate against Mother Teresa, we now know what the political bias is of this channel ;)
"Hate" all he did was state what people believe.
A little too much anti conservative bias in this episode.
Mother Teresa converted dying people to Christ against they're will so that way they'd be accepted into heaven....
2:45 “nice.”
Thanks
