These lesser-known Cold War topics are always interesting. Do you ever plan to cover the short-lived Karelo-Finnish SSR or in Soviet Karelia?
Who said they're "lesser known" ??
it has to be covered indeed
"Ethiopia be first, and her unruly minorities trying to rebel last"
-The unofficial slogan of the Derg
An episode on Angola please?!?! Love to understand Jonas Savambi story more.
I was about to comment the same!!The Angolan Civil War is actually what I call the African Vietnam!!
There's an old Cold War documentary and one episode covers that bit
I met an Angolan general once at a Portuguese language statistics course. Super nice dude. Also an Angolan bouncer once at the US and when he asked for ID and I showed my passport he was so happy to have someone to speak Portuguese to. Genuinely great people to be around.
I'd love to know more about this coffee mania in the GDR!
The coffie crisis of 1977 ?
@@carlosvalerochavez3045 whatever was mentioned in the video that made the GDR deal with Ethiopia so desperatly...
Fun Fact: The GDR ensured that Vietnam is now a major coffee exporter
Interesting
Interesting. Thanks for covering lesser-known (in the West) important history!
Can't be explained objectively by any foreign analyst more than this channel did.
Very good episode, again! Thank you.
I love this channel. You guys dig into the real, smaller wars/battles that alot of times lead to the bigger ones. The other guys mostly just do the well know wars. K&G, The Cold War, Historymarche, The World War-all do a great job & thank you so much. I could watch these all day.
Thanks for sharing love it
Bob Geldof later admitted that Band-Aid and the follow-up efforts/ concerts were naive on his part and hurt much more than they helped. Most of the food and medical supplies never made it to the people in need and was hijacked by warlords. That or it was left rotting on the docks, never to even enter the country. In a pleading letter a Doctor's Without Borders physician revealed that those who did get the food and supplies were basically slaves in work camps that would be given just enough to keep working until they collapsed and died from exhaustion and malnutrition.
NEVER try and help a socialist regime. The people will just suffer while their rulers grow fatter.
Didn't know uckraine was a socialist regime
Margret Thatcher right again.
Do South Yemen!!
"Do they know it's Christmas" is such an insult, since Ethiopia was Christian far before most of Europe, and certainly before any "Old worlders" had reached the Americas.
whut
Ethiopian christmas is on Jan 7th. As orthodox, they use a different calendar than the wester churches.
The initial post-war military support for Ethiopia came not from the US or any of the major powers but from smaller countries including neutral Sweden which not only helped train the Imperial guard but also played a key role in the creation of the Ethiopian air force supplying extensive training as well as Saab B17 bombers. Carl Gustav von Rosen was the cheif training officer of the EAF until 1956.
The US support was a change in policy after the Korean War which saw the US move from the indifferent stance they had held in the 40's.
want more footage of the events, if available
I would love to see you do a video on some of the smaller African states like Republic or Congo (then People’s Republic of Congo), Togo, and Equatorial Guinea, all of whom have pretty crazy stories in the 20th century
Oh man, as someone who studies post-colonial African history, I gotta say Republic of Congo (as opposed to DRC) is so scarcely covered I wonder if they could cobble together an episode (unless they got a good french speaker, that might help).
One of the most memorable elements of the Ethiopian Civil War is the famine that caused up to 1.2 million deaths, and the apparent indifference the global community had, with promises being made to never let a catastrophe of that magnitude happen again.
Two months ago, the UN estimated that up to 2 million people in Sudan would die from starvation if no action were taken to stop it. The global community collectively shrugged, with all the media attention focused on Gaza and Ukraine. I wonder how long it will be until we get more promises of "never again"?
Damn. This is what happens when we let other people tell our stories.
The Ethiopians barely featured in this video. Rather, you made it about the Soviets and the Germans, and the artistes, etc.
Made Ethiopians side characters in their own civil war.
I mean its a channel about the cold war, not a channel on wars
@@echo_wz yet no mention of american involvement beside the precious aid that humane organization they did to save an openly commnist society. if you belive this is what Americans do at the hight of cold war? . u my friend is inside a bubble
Lol, stop complaining, this is just Ethiopian history. Always needed a saviour
@@imperator692 what the fuck does this even mean....cheap conclusions
Can there be a vide someday about communist Afghanistan? Unless you already made one^^'
Or a video about Albania becoming independent from the USSR, bonding with China and then tear up "friendship" too, Hoxha's death and the transition of Albania from communist to its current status
They will never do a video about communist Afghanistan, saying the USA was on the side of the Taliban puts them in awkward position
Will do a video on Operation Damocles? The Israeli covert operation against Nazi scientists in Egypt? Thanks!!
How about a video on the Congo region and its role in The Cold War? We already know about the DR Congo, but what about the People’s Republic of the Congo next door?
It was an informative and truthful historical coverage episode about Cold War years' effectiveness on Ethiopia 🇪🇹.. How the USA focused on Military aids to Ethiopia 🇪🇹 and backed Hilassilassi monarchy remaind Ethiopian peoples in poverty, WW2 ruined situations, cultural retards atmosphere. Famine. While Arabian regimes supported separation rebellions in Eriteria, Somalia 🇸🇴.other Ethiopian regions. while the USSR supported the Derg coup in Ethiopia 🇪🇹 (those toppled monarchy) & and separatists in the meantime ?!...China intervened against USSR influenced by supported rebellions? ..Eriteria became Israel 🇮🇱 friendship dictatorship, and Somalia 🇸🇴 became the most Islamic terrorist incubation territory fragmented, non recognized areas ...
"Whew, we just fought a world war to show that taking other people's land is bad."
"...Here Ethiopia, have some of other people's land."
thanks so much, there was hardly any visual document available on Socialist Ethiophia before
4 minutes ago is sensual
East Germany's eternal quest for coffee.😂☕
Mad to think people might not know what Band Aid/Do They know it's Christmas? It's so ubiquitous here
Operation Urgent Fury (1983)
It would be really cool if you guys did a video on South Yemen, the only communist country in the Middle East
Didn't "We are the world" worsen the famine?
Do the Nigeria-Biafran war aka the Nigerian Civil War 1967 -1970
They shouldn't abeg. Did you watch this video? It was a video about an African civil war, and the Africans turned out to be side characters, focusing on the international scene instead of what happened locally.
That's what they'll make the Nigerian civil war to be.
Just like John St Jorre's book on the civil war.
This is what happens when you let other people tell your story.
Ogaden National Liberation front still stands ❤
Haha, they lost and they will never get independence. The green, yellow and re flag shall stand tall in Jijiaga
Try the Philippines even today we are still struggling with a communist insurgency
I have been following your channel for the last 2 years, and impressed, but DISAPPOINTED in this video.
1) There had never been feudalism in Ethiopia. It was a uniquely indigenous land tenure system, but having few similarities. E.g. there was no serfdom like Europe's feudalism.
2) The Amhara nobility has never marginalised other Ethnic groups. E.g. The majority of Haile Selassie's cabinet were other ethnic groups than Amhara's.
You would have to be very careful and double check these sensitive facts before copy and paste left wing and ethno-nationalist narratives.
NB: I have never heard about Derg-East Germany dispute on Ethiopian coffee. Very much looking forward to that video.
lere backek ......let me guess choma ras selhonek ke amhara wechi yaelew beher bemulu inferity complexu new ende yasametsew belek tamenalek
Central America when?
❤❤❤❤
Can you imagine if Soviet university students had protested against the War in the Horn of Africa with flags of Tigray, Somalia or Oromia and had started calling Brezhnev "Genocidal Leonid" and Fidel Castro "Holocaust Castro" in reference to their support with weapons and military advisors to the Derg Government?
The war in Tigray in 2020-2022 was not very much well explained in this episode.
Oh, why not talk about the gojjam rebellion? We know where you got your Anti Amhara narrative
TH-cam self declared historians making an accurate video about Ethiopia; impossible
Maybe it was for a good cause, but “Do They Know it’s Christmastime” is the most annoying Christmas song ever…
Had such high hopes for this channel.because they actually have interesting topics. Unfortunately this guy and the editor make for such a charisma void it's almost not funny
Live-Aid famously left out the nature of the famine's origins or any mentions of the Derg
well derg was the reason the new leo libral reinterpretation of history the cause .....
Some Feedback about the First 10 Minutes of this Video: you repeatedly jump back and forth between the 1890s, the 1920s and 1960s. This was very confusing to follow, i would have much preferred a chronological telling of events
ethiopians are Jareers
😂😂 Eritrea was part of Ethiopia during the time of Emperor Menilik
History be meskot new ende yetemarshew bro Italy ertriea back then even after the victory of Adwait he didn't go further than merb river
@@Silwanos 😂😂 was the unity of Eritrea with Ethiopia a disturbed reality from before the arrival of Italy? Give me one historical proof that shows Eritrea was an independent country during the time of Tewodros? Or Fasiledes? Or Yohaness IV for that matter
@@deeplight7206 mate during that even ethiopia didn't exsist as a country ertriea was not united back then costal areas were under turks while the highlands where ruled by Tigre speaking nobels until the Italians came and took the area from the turks
Rodriguez Steven Rodriguez Donna Taylor Sandra
To David and the entire Cold War crew, why have you made a video on communist-era Ethiopia whilst you haven't made a video on Ethiopia during the rule of Haile Selassie? I thought you made videos in chronological order.
Third!
No offense intended, but these videos would gain a lot if we didn't have to see the narrator so prominently all the time
I just want more relevant stuff for that background TV... Maybe we can simultaneously watch the Howdy Doody Show.
Why?
I agree. Love the videos but I'd like to see more maps and footage. I just need to hear the narrator.
Cold War is a bad name.
World War Three is more descriptive.
But it's not a world war, it's a series of conflicts that's mostly part of a cold war between USA and Sovjet. So the cold war is de facto descriptive, and WW3 would be a misnomer. You've got it backwards.
@@mokarokas-1727it wasn’t a direct war for the soviets and USA but for all the geopolitical hot spots it was a real thing on the ground
@@JamboJoke Well of course, a war is a war. I don't need a lecture on war. There weren't enough hot conflicts or nations involved at any one time to be even close to rivalling the world wars, though. Those changed so much and in less than one tenth of the time the Cold War lasted.
You may think that. But it has gone down in the history books, Cold War. Its never gonna change names, never
