Several things :
-The Tito-Stalin breakup of Yugoslavia and the USSR was in 1948 and not 1949.
-During the Cuban missile crisis missiles were mostly removed from Turkey, and they were outdated anyway.
-France never left NATO, they left the military block.
-The arms race started well before the 1980s.
well, he represented the entire USRR ending at the same time, when we know that Russia and the Baltics left first, and that lead the Union to collapse. In fact was the coupe in Russia that led to the fall of the Union.
It’s hard to describe the Cold War in just under 8 minutes. It was bound to happen.
"France never left NATO, they left the military block."
Isn't a NATO strictly miliatry block?
That was a secret deal, (removal of missiles from Turkey) which did not come to light until at least 20 years later. They were removed from Turkey, but to cover up the secret deal, it was stated that the missiles were "outdated" .

The US spends 4% and people think *that's* a lot. 14 is crazy. Though the US probably spent a lot more at the time, and they can also get away with a lower percent since they had a better economy in general.
Kevin Hernandez-Rives yep
Kevin Hernandez-Rives if the US did that today it would be spending $2,520,000,000,000, or to put it into words, two trillion five hundred twenty billion dollars, that's a crazy amount of economy to put towards any one area

Russia simply cannot keep up with its tech. Yes they have a lot of tanks and nuclear missiles. Their actually standing army though is not all that impressive and their economy is relatively small. China is the only power that can really stand up to the United States.
1962 China: I want new world power.
2020 China: Okay I got this.
You look like a far-right Hindu nationalist. Ur not funny btw
The Chinese already started to be a world power and caused multiple African countries to support China, especially Australians. I can't be wooshed if I got the joke btw.
@@LazyAndFabulous Let me add a few words. The Chinese believe that they love peace, and because China was humiliated by China’s weakness in the 19th century, and after many wars against colonialism, the Chinese chose the Communist Party of China, which helped China to rejuvenate (The Chinese think that we are just back where we were originally, so we don’t call it the rise). In the 1960s, China and the Soviet Union, the two socialist powers, finally parted ways because of a deviation in their understanding of communism, and the Soviet Union betrayedTo achieve its own ideals, to practice great power chauvinism and hegemonism, and to behave like the United States, which made it difficult for the Chinese to accept, so China actively participated in the exchanges with the third world countries, and this allowed China to restore the five permanent posts of the United Nations.One seat of the council
China will lose, Picking a fight with the Americans is one thing, But they are causing tensions with nearly every Nation in Asia since this pandemic in the world started. US and China both with shady pasts should be careful the world doesn't just turn on both of them.
@@YukiPyro Trump is starting sanctions against china even though they didnt do anything bad.

Excellent video. However, you forgot to mention the CIA intervention in South America, aligning and supporting the right-wing dictatorships, per example, supporting the military intervention in the 1973 Coup d'état in Chile.
they also didnt mention the many USSR interventions to establish communist dictatorships, it would be too technical to discuss every one
And they didnt marka the democratic republic of kampuchea as red (1975-1979)
@@televizetma3762 right
I feel like all the military interventions would need a separate video, and I'd really like to see that one. I'm from the states and no one here even knows about them.
G. K. Chesterton 1922 about POLAND:
"I judged the Poles by their enemies. And I found it was an almost unfailing- truth that their enemies were the enemies of magnanimity and manhood. If a man loved slavery, if he loved usury, if he loved terrorism and all the trampled mire of materialistic politics, I have always found that he added to these affections the passion of a hatred of Poland. She could be judged in the light of that hatred; and the judgment has proved to be right."
this was so helpful for my paper, thank you for making videos like these!
0:48 What happened to Kazakhstan.
My god.
Lol
That's probably because of the Mercator projection
France leaves NATO?!?!?!?!?
They felt as though the UK and the USA were hogging all the power and that they couldn't get leverage within NATO or on the world stage. Nonetheless, they kept close ties and remained part of the Western Bloc.

Will never forget how the United States backed Pakistan during the Bengali Liberation War where Pakistan was committing the worst genocide since the Holocaust. India and the Soviet Union came to Bengali aid during the crisis and eventually it lead to Bangladesh becoming an independent nation. It doesn’t excuse the Soviet Union from their atrocities however.
rkb xyz they are fighting isis
Pakistan did genocide. Lol. Pakistan and indian soldiers all were stationed in bangladesh. Tecnicallly there were many pro paksitan so they were killed in bangladesh by indian forces too. So dont blame pak when you know
Frogmaniax Indian soldiers were send to Bangladesh when the liberation war started n Bangladesh was called east Pakistan then n btw Indian soldiers captured 90,000 soldiers of Pakistani army alive.....
Abhishek Nanda yes. This is why indian soldiers were involved in the war. So technicaly they also involved themselves in the crisis and genocide. It wanst only pakistan army,but indian army too
and if you as indian praise this 50 year old strength to today pakistan then it is wrong. Today pakistan is very strong in terms of military then it was in 1971. Anyside starting war will cause india and pakistan to be destroyed
Frogmaniax yes i agree that Indian army might have killed pro Pakistani but not normal Bangladeshies or pro Bangladeshies n it's normal in war both sides do killed people but some in large n other in small amount...😊👍
Excellent explanation of the whole scenario 👍
Love these vids. Keep it up!!
7:34 Poland became a democratic nation in 4 June 1989 not in 1991
And first one to break The block
Yeah, also wanted to coment that. First Poland broke out, later the Berlin Wall fell down
Let's not forget about Romania when they becam democratic on 25 decembre 1989
Yeah in fact most of block broke before berlin wall fell
Only partially. In fact, elections wasn't fully free because communist guaranteed to themselves 65% of the seats in parliament as a condition. Formally regaining independence of Poland was a process called "transformation" which started in late 80' when communist realizes that Soviet Union will collapse.
No space race? I mean, I know this is all tense non fighting competition but would've been great to mention it
Who came here after call of duty Cold war reveal to study about it. Lol

Its actually quite insane how not long ago this all happened.
It’s scary that it’s happening right now. Leaders in the US are psychopaths
I think you missed Ceausescu's Romania's separation from the USSR area of influence by 1968. They were communists but not USSR allies anymore. The Hungarian Revolution in 1958 and the soviet occupation of Czechoslovakia in 1968 are something worth to mention as well.

An absolute pleasure to learn History differently.
Originally, I made a comment about Chernobyl and how it was a root cause of the collapse of the soviet collapse. However, it seems like I can't find a good source to either confirm or decline these statements. So just disreguard the original comment (Below)
The original comment:
Might've been a good idea to also talk about Chernobyl. Chernobyl, for anyone who is unaware, was the largest civilian nuclear disaster in history. Radioactive fallout from the explosion in Pripyat was able to travel all the way to New Jersey, and hundreds of thousands died from Radiation Poisoning. The key thing about this, however, was that, because of how much the USSR tried to cover it up, it ultimately became a factor in the breakup of the USSR.
Get ya facts straight, troll. "Hundreds of thousands" did not die from Chernobyl, even if you count cancer deaths suspectedly caused from it in the last 25 years. International studies say about 4,000 have directly died and the UN estimates 40,00 adversely affected with radiation. Yes, more were relocated and suffered lifestyle losses.
And Chernobyl was NOT a factor in the USSR dissolution. That is a piece of Western propaganda. It arose from (depending on who you believe) a series of political decisions made by Gorbachev and the Supreme Council of the time, and then Yeltsin's arrival. They admit to that themselves.
Do some research and stop exaggerating for propaganda bullshit.

Impressive work, putting 45 years of geopolitical events in an under 10 minute video, but there is one big problem with this format: it oversimpliefies the whole cold war. The Korean Conflict, the Vietnam war, the African decolonisation and the Afghan war are mentioned in such a way that it doesn't cover their real cause or the whole outcome. Also important treaties like SALT1 and Nixons visit to China are totally ignored. Still amazing work, just the format isnt the best for such a long period of complicated geopolitical events.

“Nothing is more permanent than a temporary solution”
As in America, I am not going to say that I know too much about the Cold War, but I went with my parents and about 45 other Americans in 1989 the USSR. My Mother was intending to go on a peace missions . She spent most of my teenage years going to schools trying to educate children and parents how it was her mission in life to establish world peace, especially with the Russians , even if what she was doing was just her small part . She had thousands of members , and she went to Russia many times , and she did have me go with her on one trip . I did go like I said during the Cold War . I have to say I was a little bit afraid , and I got to stay with a host famiy. They were very gracious and kind . I just remember being taught in school that they were the enemy, and we were taught to be fearful.
Anyway, my best friend and I went . I remember that it was very cold. I had never experienced that kind of cold temperature in my whole life.. our summers were about 90 degrees , we were lucky to see Snow, which we loved , and about the coldest we would ever get was about 20 to 30° . I wore warm clothing, but nothing could prepare me for what what I was about to experience . I remember passing a group of small children, and they were laughing at us. It's like they knew we were stupid Americans for not dressing for the cold weather. I remember seeing statues of Lenin and Stalin, and I I remember being in Red Square, which was so fascinating , and remember taking pictures with my Polaroid camera, and also just was so excited, also being there at a time where Mikhail Gorbachev was President. I was in the eighth grade at the time and because we were there for two weeks., my homework was too write my activies each day, put them into a journal type booklet , and then speak about them to my class. We got to spend a few days in the Republic of Georgia. That was fascinating as well and all the beautiful history. we decided to stop there because we were from Atlanta Georgia so we wanted to go from Georgia to Georgia. we still have lifelong friends and I will never forget my wonderful experiences. , especially as an American citizen, but to say that I was, there is just amazing. I Just awesome history! I hope that I don't offend anyone if I did I'm truly sorry!
