Hi! I'm now working on the next video about NATO. While waiting for it, here is a short video – without voice-over – showing the evolution of NATO, year by year. Enjoy!

I recently read an interesting article on Finland's military defences since WW2. Really amazing how defence has impacted their society

[itriedtochangemynamebutitd]

I had no idea so many members of NATO had only joined relatively recently

[heavenlanes]

Croatia could've been a NATO member a few years earlier. Our negotations are too slow, given how Slovenia managed to wrap up everything in one go.

Even Finland has celebrated the country's entry into NATO as of April 4, 2023.

Great video! Do you think someday in the future could you guys make a video about the history of Mexico?

An old and very early reason for the creation of NATO: "To keep the Americans in, the Soviets out, and the Germans down." I think it's safe to say that now that it's all about keeping the Russians out.

This needs update. Finland🇫🇮 has joined NATO & Sweden🇸🇪 will also later...

[Arturino_Burachelini]

You forgot to show CSTO as a counterpart, though its use against NATO is dubious at best

[chachox]

beat goes hard my son. dig the content

[chris]

Today is one of the greatest day for NATO and the world as Finland finally joins NATO and soon Sweden

[Banntlied]

Historical Fact: USSR literally tried to join in NATO to approve their thoughts that NATO made against USSR.

0:22 Why "Russia"?? It was the USSR!! Not only Rus. It included many countries, Russia was one of them
