- Anyone over the age of 45 grew up under the Cold War; it shaped international relations for 50 years and it still affects them now. It lasted from the end of the Second World War to the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. There were many times when it might have turned ‘hot’ but instead it was fought out in the spheres of propaganda, economics and politics, and militarily by surrogacy outside Europe.
This is the second of two lectures on the Cold War delivered by our expert guest speaker, Major Gordon Corrigan MBE, following on from ‘Yalta 1945 - the Prelude’.

Excellent overview. My only criticism is leaving out the role the Chornobyl disaster played in Gorbachev's decision to allow the Soviet Union to open up. He Felt the communist system was fundamentally and dangerously flawed.
Hess flew to England - that's a new one. I think the major may be a bit confused
Perhaps, before you critisise a respected historian over a point that is hugely well documented you might care to a little research, it saves you looking foolish.
@@davehopkin9502 Hess landed near Eaglesham, which is in Renfrewshire, Scotland. I think you should do a little research before you comment, it will save you from looking like an arrogant idiot.
