That one guy who stopped the submarine from firing the missiles is proof that one man can change the world. His one decision is the reason the world was saved.

Asshole ruined all the fun.

Don't forget that one guy who decided to not report possible us missles. The radar messed up and said there were US misses incoming, the only thing he had to do was to call it in and nuclear war would happen.
@@ignite5815yes that dude's name is Stanislav Petrov
I got goosebumps when he started talking about the Berlin Wall coming down. I was taught this history as a kid, but as an adult I comprehend it much better.
I’ve decided to watch his videos and the visual representation really helps me understand what was going on. As a kid, I remembered what happened but I didn’t comprehend the consequences of these events.
I remember watching the coverage on TV as a teenager. As an American of German descent, it brought happy tears and still does to thus day.
@@laurapeter3857how old are you now?
Yeah man, I'm from India.. and I've learned all this in school in textbooks.. never found them interesting or understood them properly.. watching it as an adult gives me chills..
Same here. You know what's really moving is the song "Wind of Change" by the (West German) rock group Scorpions. He literally wrote the lyrics in Moscow after performing at the Moscow Peace Festival in August of 1989, noticing the positive feelings that change and peace and an end to the cold war were on the horizon...they could just FEEL it. Sure enough, the Berlin Wall came down just 2 months later and the song became a virtual anthem for the entire change and hope that came with it. The Scorpions literally played the song for the 10 year anniversary of the fall of the Berlin wall. The video for the song represents much of this as well. It's abosutely moving. Few songs can give me those kind of goosebumps, but this one for sure makes the cut! I was also too young to fully comprehend all of it in 1989 (I was 13 or 14), but I could certainly grasp the tension between the USSR and the USA, and distinctly remember when the wall fell it was absolutely unbelievable!
That 1 guy who refused to launch the missile saved us from ww3

It's even crazier than that. Under normal circumstances Soviet protocol requires an agreement between two specific people to launch a nuke. *Those two people already agreed,* but it had a quirk that if there was some high-ranking official on board, they'd need to agree too. This guy was that high ranking official.

true
@@malvahalva9610 the one made by EmpLemon?
One of a few others.
There also have been some false alerts, detecting nuclear missles on both sides, when there were none. And they've pretty much had orders to immediatly strike counter attacks, if some missles came. And as you may notice, they just didn't.
Wich is why they are equally as important, because if either USA or UDSSR launched some nuclear missles, because of some false alert, nuclear wasteland and shit...
After soviet union desolved, they learned that those missiles were fake. So, it would not be a nuclear war

2:27 holy shit, this dude is the embodiment of a true chad, not only did he stand up to 2 higher officers and saved all our lives in the process, but he looks like chad.
The virgin stalin vs. The chad arkhipov
He was actually the highest ranking officer, a Commodore, who commanded the entire flotilla. That's why he also got a vote. Because while not the Captain, he did have a higher rank.
All the other subs only required two votes, that of the Captain and the Commissar.
Just imagine the odds that off all the Soviet subs it just happens to be to one that required a third vote. If Arkhipov had picked any other sub as his "flag ship", nuclear war would've happened.
He saved some lives but there are countries that had nothing to do with the cold war and would have no causalities. Think of Switzerland that remained neutral during ww2 even though they were in the center of the conflict...

At 0:56 you said, "but Castro felt there was still an impending threat to his regime." How right he was! The information recently declassified from that period shows that after the Bay of Pigs fiasco Kennedy immediately asked his advisors to come up with other ways to get rid of Castro. Kennedy wanted that guy out (not that I blame him for that), and Castro understood this-so of course he turned to the USSR for protection. What else was he supposed to do?

About the east german government giving in: while it is true that the travel ban wasn't meant to be lifted until next day, it kinda was because someone made a bit of an oopsie and said that to his knowledge, the travel ban lifting was to take effect immediately. So, after everyone heard that, they flocked to the border. The soldiers there, not knowing what to do, phoned a few people and ultimately just let them through because what are you gonna do at that point?

" Vietnam war Oversimplified. Coming eventually 2019"
2020: Dude, Uncool
welp, I want it too, and I know it'll come in about... 50 more years?
This enraged Oversimplified fans, who punished oversimplified severely.
So uncool
I thought it was it henry the 8th
yea but never came
A couple of fun facts about Vasili Arkhipov, the Soviet submarine officer. First, in regards to the incident mentioned in the video...Arkhipov was greatly concerned that his key would be taken from him by force, based on how motivated his captain was to launch nuclear missiles. So, he swallowed his key and told his captain that the only way to launch the missiles would be to cut him open. Second, a little over a year before that incident, Arkhipov was executive officer of the doomed K-19 when the famed accident involving its reactor happened. He, along with the rest of the crew, was irradiated as a result. Despite that, he outlived many of the K-19 crew, who died prematurely over the next couple of decades due to radiation exposure. I'd like to think that the Universe/God/whatever gave him some bonus years for saving the world.
Learning never ends,
so here you go, have some RANDOM comment trying to give you Fun Science-Times:
Veritasium is cool, but Hbomberguy is even better.
Practical Enginnering is also recommend-worthy,
just like Neil Red, It's ok to be smart, Oversimplified, CGP Grey, Tier Zoo, Kozmo, Sci Man Dan, Bob the Science Guy, Creaky Blinder.
And Legal Eagle and Cinema Therapy also are very educational, but these 2 are noteworthy for offering a very new viewpoint for old things.

@@chughes156 YEP!
Hi, APUSH student here. Your videos are incredibly creative, helpful and funny! They aid my love of history. Right now we are learning about the Vietnam War, and I would LOVE to see a min-war video on it if at all possible. Thanks!
15:56 “what could go wrong”
It did. It really went wrong.
Earth:
About to get torn to pieces
Vasili Arkhipov:
*I'm About to Save This Man's Whole Career*
Stop
Him and Stanislav Petrov the two MVPs of the Cold War.
Vasili - one of the true G's the world needed
This enraged his father, *who punished him severely.*
what a life saver
2:24 Good god that actually is a beautiful man.
That jaw line is almost as impressive as him saving the world.
Hell yeah
Isaac Sorrels No homo but damn he is hot
He cut the war with his jawline
He looks like Anthony from Smosh

Could you do a video about the cold war between Russia and Finland? I really like to watch your videos cause they are really well explained and I can learn really easily of them.

"Where's the corruption"
"my first act as president is to pardon Nixon"
"Ah there it is"
This was amazing
This is why attempting to impeach Donald Trump was a bad idea. His VP, Mike Pence, probably would have taken over and got Trump off the hook.
And then there's Donald Trump who pardon a bunch of criminals at the end of his term.
This lore is crazy can't wait for you're next book
The part where the US gave Chad a sword and told it to fight Libya was so cute.
