Umm late much
I liked four, three and 1 lmao
Hey, IGS. At the one where you said the CIA watched them? They did not have iMacs in the 50's to the 90's
"When Mao was 69"
n i c e
"he had a 14 year old girlfriend."
n o t n i c e.
XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
Oof
@Covington Bigglesworth also slaves
@Covington Bigglesworth he was saying nice bc 69
Our laws aren't their laws. How old are the concubines of Saudi princes?
Me: accidentally made the follow me shoe-lace indication
Me: wonders why they're 50 CIA and FBI agents following me
Why so few Likes😭
Because they know that u know they are cia and fib agents
"I AM A PLANE" LMAO
Must’ve been really happy until he fell
Yes he is

Like a boss
Reminds me of Redman running around the car in the movie How High saying "I'm a ghost"
My introvert self trying to order a ticket at the airport
Gerbil: *aggressively pulls lever*
USA: Let's destroy the moon to prove how dominant we are.
actually with what we know about nuclear physics nowadays, the bomb would have most likely only create a small creator
you really think one bomb can destroy the moon, it gets hit by meteors all the time, i think one bomb, will be equivalent to a meteor.
Suite James II I think this quote from Jurassic Park sums it up: “You’ve spent so much time asking ‘Can we?’, you haven’t asked ‘Should we?’”
Corey Taylor crater, smart guy
Ray j you missed the whole point
3:36
actually, Kennedy proposed teaming up with Russia for the space race, and Khrushchev was going to agree with it, but after Kennedy's assassination, Khrushchev declined the offer because he didn't trust Eisenhower
Eisenhower was president before Kennedy. It must have been Johnson that Khrushchev didn't trust.
@Epic Cole, I believe you are correct. Kennedy was killed a month after he agreed with the Soviets to joint space adventures. After he died America didn't follow through. It's very difficult for the M.I.C. to make money when everyone's working together.
ok NERD!
Makes you think that maybe Oswald was hired or working for someone to keep that from happening so the tensions would stay high
@@coltoncosse7674 Oswald was set up
*USSR Dissolving*
"I don't feel so good Mr. Gorbachev ..."
Dissolving has to something with water

This is the best comment i have ever come across in youtube!! Literally laughing my ass off!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
swear when i’m trippin these vids are wayyyyyyyyyy more interesting
Um... okay?
Tie your shoes next time
@Evan Corry Yea Man Listen to @blaValle
You’re weak
Haha “you’re weak” is a hilarious reply! I agree
2:20
“Superman’s currently rolling in his grave”.
Maybe...but he’ll be better by the next movie, with a full cg face.
“When Mao was 69 he sexually abused a 14 year old girl”
Fixed that for you.
Are you sure about that?
I mean it's a serious question, i don't know if she was consensual or not.
Just one? (looks to the right... ) Hollywood, you're winning!
Paro minors can’t consent so it cannot be consensual
CoolCreeper39 minors can’t consent
@@cammyseitz3062 Well to be fair, age of consent depends on where you are. China's 14 sooooo yea.
Wait, if Stalin means man of steel that means That's what People in Russia call superman?
Stalin :)
Blyat man
He could’ve made some fantastic propaganda posters.
'Stalin" by zack Snyder
Blyat I did not know that well then
Some ignorant animator has confused Khrushchev and Mao in the swimming pool. Khrushchev is swimming happily while saying: Come, join me in deeper water!, while Mao is exiting the pool. It should be the opposite..
Who tf cares. You make a better video
I thought that just then lol. Eh, just an editing mistake.
@@gucciskins382 did you know that someone can point something out without being better at it? Yep thats a thing, in case you didnt know
@@gucciskins382 I was confused so I care
@@Halozocker104 yes because people are perfect who dont make mistakes at all. Seriously... who cares. This guy makes it seem like the whole video was ruined because of a tiny editing mistake. The guy who edited the video could have been tired from a busy work week, or dealing with something stressful at home. People really need to start looking outside of themselves and think a little before they speak, or rather, type words.
This is the infographic's longest video duration.
And they still managed to publish two videos a day...
I haven't taken a shower for 7 weeks, but you are everywhere
Gaby Liwang dont assume that.
I haven't taken shower for 7 weeks, but I 110 this
because they can read nonsense sites and then slap it in their video. It takes very less time than actually researching on actual facts that took longer time.
Mentions bears being used to test ejection seats then says “you can actually watch it on TH-cam”
me- suddenly exits out of the video and straight to the search bar 😂
Did u find it
They took it down ofc
USSR: *exsists*
USA: *stares motherfuckerly*
Fact number 1: It was cold
Wait, was it?
Real shit?
Cold War. Neither side never reached that boiling point where thing would then become heated.
IDK I just made that shit up.
Fact number 2: it was a non-direct war
#38 When Mao was 69 he had a 14 year old girlfriend
uhm....
69...14 year old. Yep not a coincidence!
ZyroIzMvp The messenger of Allah peace be upon him married her at the age of 6 or 7. She stayed at her parents' house until 9 or 10. He was 53. His first marriage was at the age of 25 to a two times widow Khadijah bint Khuwaylid of 40.
CEOs Evolve so the average age of his wives were 23.5 years old. That's way better than saying he married a child.
@Salpsan Actually, the messenger of Allah peace be upon him had 11 wives. Most of them were widows. You know Buddha and Caesar married at 16. Before 20th century, it was a common practice to marry young to increase the survival chance and strengthen family ties.
We just gonna skip that topic like that? Word.
Could you cover 50 facts of WW2?
Gipsy Danger I second this
Gipsy Danger I third this
I fourth it
I fifth it
id like that
Thanks for mentioning Churchill’s dark side, which usually gets glossed over.
Gets glossed over due to blind nationalism.
My favorite one is #10 at the 13:40 mark. It details how the CIA had patterns for tying SHOELACES as different codes. That is so clever ,bizarre and comical all at the same time.
In 1987, a private pilot flew a Cessna from Finland and landed in Red Square, near the Kremlin, pretty much just because he could. He flew straight through the Soviet’s ‘impenetrable’ air defence, who wanted to shoot the aircraft down multiple times, but never got the ok to do so because it was thought the aircraft was friendly. Quite a lot of the military brass was reprimanded for this.
Moscow’s airport, Sheremetyevo has two terminals, 1 and 2. After this incident, some people refer to Red Square as Sheremetyevo 3.
this might’ve been helpful for my COLD WAR FINAL YESTERDAY
Existential Crisis feels bad
Existential Crisis you still have school i feel bad for you
I got out the 5th
Existential Crisis eyyyyy I did too lol
Really? Pupninks?
I now question my existence
It's very cool
Striker pupkins
on #16 that dude was also known as the man who saved the world. Not a lot of people know who he is.
“IM A PLANE” **jumps out of window**
This proves how screwed up the government can be
it also proves what a difference could be made in 30/40 years
@@botcheek482 yeah imagine how much more stuff theyre probably doing now that we dont know about. And 40 years from now imagine that. Not lookin good.
It's pretty cool to find out what actually happened at a time where everyone feared another world war. Awesome content and keep up the good work!
This didn’t age well
"Star-fish prime" sounds like something off of Spongebob.
It's a limp bizkit album isn't it?
sounds like a cable channel.
Had we teamed up with Russia during the "space race" I doubt we would have made it to the moon so quickly. Working together would have relaxed both countries sense of urgency by knowing neither of us are going without the other.
1:54 Proof that Stalin assisted Infinity Ward in the development of Warzone.
Most of the technology we have today were made during WW1&2 and the cold war
Well, yeah, that does cover several decades of time, after all.
Derrick Frost radar computers jets space travel night vision etc etc but hey u can live in ur own version of earth i wont stop you
cool story bro.
Just upgraded a lot but yes you are right
Yeah we were stealth bombing the Germans and Japanese back in ww2
I've been subbed for just over two weeks now. i really like that you guys put out consistently with cool info
i remember when this channel started. then i slowly realized it fallowed the questions on askreddit. he rips off everything from reddit day by day.
Cdawg33 Great animation You say? Watch The chernobyl video he made. He uses so many wrong illustrations I cant, says was caused By steam shows a nuclear explosion, The White death, uses svd instead of a finnish nagant. Just so many wrong illustrations.
A lot of the info is wrong historically. Like completely wrong
Plague Yeah
omg this was uploaded literally a day after my cold war exam what are the odds
If Stalin was responsible for 60 million deaths, then the USSR would have had a net population drop, not a net gain, which is the case if you look at population records.
The only way that number makes sense is if you count people choosing to not have children due to lack of resources as “deaths”, which is a little ridiculous imo
The same goes for Mao in China.
USA: spending 20M for a cat....
DC:spending 20M for a moustache....😂😂😂
For the number 29.
All animals that were used for these tests were slaughtered in order to remove their internal organs. To see what high speed do to the body
I’ve always been told that George Orwell used the term “Cold War” for the first time.
George Well did indeed use the term "Cold War for the first time on Ot. 19, 1945. The first person to use thre term, iron Curtain was Churchill in 1946.
The Cold War was basically
USA vs Soviet Union.
The UK was just there helping the US lol. Most the other European countries didn't do much until the Korean War, but then again it's not the UK did much either. They did help the USA in espionage and nuclear weapons programs buts kinda it
NEM3SIS ! Yeah only nuclear weapons, just the thing preventing it from becoming all out war. No biggie
You said the Cold War was between the US And Soviet Union, You left out ALL the other countries involved. Canada, Britain (James Bond), Isreal, West Germany, France, etc....
The Cold War was between the Soviet Union and the West.
Love the video watching from JAMAICA.
Thank you!
learning history i'm from mexico, was in barbados last month beautiful but loads of mosquitoes.
can you just like never stop producing history videos? your history videos are like the best videos on youtube. :)
if i were the owner if the channel i would heart this comment
I find it so hilarious how the US spent so much money on a cat, and how the guy in the video said "Why did the US detonate a bomb in space? Just to see what would happen of course."
8:45 The letter from Kennedy to Khrushchev asks if the Pupniks are happy. Since the Pupniks were owned by the Kennedys, the letter should have been sent by Khrushchev to Kennedy, not Kennedy to Khrushchev. So the letter is backward.
Actually we dropped extra large condoms and labeled them as medium
Came here to say this, lol.
Please do facts on the Vietnam War. There are already many vids on WW2 compared to the Vietnam War
CyberPlayz why not the Korean War. It's americas forgotten war
They wont :3 cause America didnt win those
shimanto dragneel they aren’t biased on this channel. Try being less pitiful for yourself
Do something on the Russian sleep experiment.
It has been proven to be fake.
The Infographics Show I knew it, it seemed way to fictional. Thanks for the reply
My dad was in the military during the 70's and he was on a boat that monitored Soviet missile activity. But they also would follow around Soviet ships and pick up their trash to find Intel. And the Soviets would do the same.
My grandfather was in gulag twice when he was 12 and 16. He still finished university at 30. Hes 85 now and can lift more than me. We’re Georgian not Russian.
17:36😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣 That's the most costly, funniest prank I ever heard of!
I'll rather call it the Cold Period.
The Real Eugenia I thought blood was warm
I know right.
MoistyMerman not when you freeze it
The Real Eugenia salut LOL un român care se uită la Infographichs Show
better than the warm one...
At the start, Italian Ethiopia didn't have the north
Do a video about the falkland war
Man shouts ‘Je suis un avion’ proceeding to break his legs is the pinnacle of this video
It probably was said but one of the B-52 pilots that was able jump the crash had two parachute "failures" but was still able to recover, only to ask for help from one NC resident only to be arrested because they didn't believe a black man could be an officer or even a pilot.
I definitely stopped this video immediately to watch a bear get ejected at Mach 1.3....
It seemed like a pretty oppressive regime.
I honestly have not given it much thought.
Considering it was run by objectively the second deadliest dictator in history for a while, and was dissolved into an oligarchy. Most likely wasn’t the happiest place on earth.
Truely interesting facts
its spelled traoeily dumbass
Naast Werda huh
Thank you!!
MY GRANDPA LITERALLY TOLD ME ABOUT THE BLOODPATCH THING, I HAD NO CLUE WHAT HE MEANT BUT NOW I KNOW
RIP Larry McDonald representing GA in the US House of Representatives.
" He was pretty funny, but that didn't stop him from killing himself"
Lol
Kudos +The Infographics Show
What a great video. Thanks for amassing and sharing such an eclectic, arcane and fun group of facts.
My grandmother had her blood type tattooed on her as a child and she lived in IL. 🤷♂️
These is crazy we spent how much on a spy cat
that Korean air plane looks nothing like a "boeing 747" XD
That was a interesting video. Very funny facts but I feel worried with how many times we could explode the world by a little action. Felt sorry for the bears!!
4:24 but... the mao is supposed to be the one requesting the other to come to deeper water
The shoe lace thing is pretty smart holy fudge
For a time, the US nuclear launch code was 6 zeros to save time
10:41 THEY BLAMED THE CAT!!?😂😂😂
I was around for all but six or seven years of the Cold War and yes, it was pretty insane with paranoia off-the-chart much of the time. It really was something you would have needed to experience. I mean, there was something called Starfish Prime, which consisted of detonating a nuke high up in the atmosphere and managed to blow out streetlights and mess up phone service throughout the Hawaiian Islands--and that was 900 miles away from the detonation point. Great move, guys.
Taxi: *Whistle whistle*
Cat: MEEOOOOOOWWWW!! MEOO-
Taxi: OH NO
*Curb your enthusiasm them song plays*
6:55 explains "The numbers Mason, what do they mean!" if you know what I mean.

Another fact, communism memes were pretty much born from this
the most important fact
Sounds like communist propaganda but ok
Military intelligence is a contradiction in terms. - Groucho Marx
5:12 now the BBC is the complete opposite. 😂
Disneyland OMG. Hahaha.
Did that gerbil thing work? Asking for a friend
is it true you are related to Jake Paul?
iiHashbrownii yes I am
Yes I am
Here's one: the USSR won the space race. USA simply won the moon race.
Missing from this video is that 32 American servicemen gave their lives in the Cold War. My best friend was among them.
Who’s here after playing the new Call Of Duty campaign?
Plane 007....
*They thought it was a spy plane because they watched James Bond.*
Stalin second place? King Leopold says hello.
That's a European....Hence he did it to upgrade them.
Here's a fact: In the 70s, America spent 12 million dollars on designing and building a pen that could write in space. The Soviets, however, found it much more simple and much cheaper to just use a pencil. A frickin pencil. Seriously, US, it was that simple.
A B-52 apparently crashed a block from my home. It had an engine failure while flying over Maine and then tried to get to Pease Airforce Base. It was only a few minutes out before they crashed and destroyed several buildings.
"Soviets started the arms race" - wtf are you smoking? USA started the arms race!
See #27.
Initially, only the United States possessed atomic weapons, but in 1949 the Soviet Union exploded an atomic bomb and the arms race began. Both countries continued building more and bigger bombs.
Hahahahahaha “The Pupniks” I love it!
14:23 Captain John Price: It is free real estate! 👀👀👀👀
Fun fact: During the cold war, Pepsi was trying to "ally" with the Soviet Union as to try stopping the war. But as the Soviet Union fell in 1991, so did Pepsi in the Soviet Union or newly-formed Russia. Coca Cola would then come in and do the same as Pepsi and succeeding.

As if anyone can train a cat and make the cats do their bidding. What a belief! 😂
Watching this before I get hyped for the Fallout 76 reveal and all.
Umm fallout is a completely different cold war between China and USA but I'm also hyped for it
So much for your hype
Can you do 50 interesting facts about the dump I took at Jiffy Lube this morning?
17:36 I would have dropped Extra small condoms
