The Spanish flu hit during WW1, not after. It’s actually one of the reasons the war ended. The British quarantined sick soldiers to minimize the viruses spread which actually gave them an edge over the Germans who did not quarantine sick individuals and had to deal with uncontrollable spreading of the virus through their trenches.
Fun fact: It’s only referred to as the “Spanish” flu because the countries fighting each other during ww1 didn’t want to admit their infected and death toll publicly. Since Spain wasn’t fighting in the war, they ended up being the ones to first to publicly report and document the effects. It’s rumored to have actually started in the US but wartime censorship didn’t want to let newspapers report on it and they purposefully continued public events as to not “scare” the public.

About Cuban missile crisis: There was a soviet nuclear submarine who's communication was cut and protocol said in this situation assume the war broke out. Fortunatelly protocol also required 3 key from 3 officer and one of them refused to launch the nuclear weapon
Id like to add one. Supernova. If 1 happened within 100 light years, we are as good as gone due to immense amounts of radiation and heat from the blast.
My screen is a bit dirty so until you said that, I legitimately thought it was just a spec of dust that stood out more on the solid white background. Now I can't unsee it and it somehow bothers me more than actual dust on my screen does. (I did clean my screen after though.)
While on the topic of Cold War, you probably should have mentioned Vasily Arkhipov. Basically, he was on a submarine with some other people, and the US detected a submarine and started firing charges. What the US did not know was that the submarine they were looking for had a bomb, a nuclear one if I remember. The submarine couldn't communicate back to the motherland so they were under the assumption that they were being attacked. The 3 commanding officers there have the chance to launch their bomb, which would, just like the Stanislav situation, trigger a mass chain reaction that basically leads to a nuclear war. 2 of the commanding officers voted to launch the bomb. Vasily, on the other hand, decided not to launch it, since he felt like the charges were just warning shots, and he was right. Since all 3 officers were required to agree, and he didn't, the bomb was never launched. He singlehandedly prevented a nuclear war If I remember, that's how the story went, feel free to correct me, but yeah, the Soviets have, in a sense, prevented nuclear war and extinction TWICE!
Thank you Stanislav Petrov for not panicking. Now, we can all relish in the fact a gamma-ray could pop up and turn us into bacon at any moment, hurray! 🎉 Thank you for posting another banger video as always Kelevin, looking forward to seeing what you’ll post next!

Oh, and meat XD
Tbh, Petrov's case wasn't even the 2nd time that the world nearly went to war with each other over a nuclear apocalypse. In fact, THAT was the third. 1st and 2nd all happened during the Cuban Missile Crisis. So on top of what you said about the jostling of power between Khuruschev, Castro and JFK over the situation in Cuba, the US Navy had laid a blockade around Cuba to prevent the Soviet Navy to supply the Cubans or place more weaponry in Cuba. However, the Soviet Navy didn't give a shit and ran submarine into the blockades and enter B-59. B-59 was a nuclear armed submarine capable of launching nuclear rockets as specified targets and the Soviet Navy sent the submarine to Cuba just in case they needed to launch nuclear missiles into America. They were spotted soon as they arrived into Cuba and the USN started to throw depth charges into the water to draw or destroy the sub. With it being pummeled, one of the commanders thought that the war had began and asked the commissar for permission to fire the nukes. B-59 was different as a normal Soviet nuclear-armed sub only required 2 officers to arm and fire the nukes but for B-59, it required 3 and here enters Vasily Arkhipov. Arkhipov was the officer for the brigade that houses crew of the B-59. Whilst the other 2 officers being the captain Savitsky, Stavka officer Ivan Semyonovich Maslennikov had decided to launch the nukes, Arkhipov protested and decided to veto against the other two officers but instead persuaded them to leave the area. However, the ship was malfunctioning and as they surfaced out of the war, they were immediately shot at by a USN destroyer and strafed by aircraft. After getting more messages from the Kremlin, they pulled out of Cuba and headed back to the USSR. Thanks to Arkhipov, WW3 was prevented.
A couple correction 1. B-59 was not armed with nuclear missiles. Only a single nuke was on board, and it was in a torpedo. 2. There are several stories. The US story is that the submarine was never attacked and low yield charges were used to signal the B-59 that they had been encircled and should surface. From the crew of B-59 however, I can find no stories that completely agree with each other. Some claim the submarine was fired on, some claim that the use of the nuke was never considered. Either way, the B-59 had to surface. They surfaced, radioed the US ships, and received orders to turn back.
Some people have described Stanislav Petrov as the random man chosen by God for the judgement of humanity. No politician, no world leader or influencing person, doesn’t matter his allegiance, he’s just a guy.
There is another case you didn't mention where we nearly nuked ourselves to annihilation. Vasili Arkhipov, search his name up, he singlehandedly prevented nuclear war.
(un)Fun fact: There were actually FOUR instances during the Cuban Missile Crisis which almost lead to our annihilation (that we know of). 1. Vasali Arkhipov not pressing the button. 2. A plane from the US flying into the Soviet Union, triggering the air defences. 3. A bear infiltrating a US army base and triggering the US emergency response. I actually forgot the fourth one...
Not so fun fact, in 83 there was another incident that almost caused a nuclear war. Code name Able Archer 83, was a NATO war game in Eastern Europe to that simulated heightened nuclear tension between NATO and the Warsaw Pact. Well some members in the Soviet Politburo thought this was a ruse, and NATO was secretly preparing for a first strike. This caused the Soviets to ready their nuclear forces in Poland and East Germany, they loaded nukes in subs and bombers, and since we're still here luckily of unluckily the Soviets didn't go through with it
came here to say this.. except I thought that the USN wasn’t trying to actually harm the sub, just force it to surface they eventually did surface they were told to basically “just go home”. Sadly both Arkhipov and Petrov were not celebrated, in fact, quite the opposite with one admiral telling Arkhipov that it’d have “been better if he went down with the sun”.
Because it happened DURING the war, but was not reported on to prevent the appearance of weakness- except in neutral Spain, hence being called the Spanish Flu, as for a long while, people thought it was only happening in Spain since they were the only ones talking about it. The warring powers feared that reporting on the flu would mean their enemies would launch offensives due to that news, and they couldn't risk that.
