Orwell again showing his incredible understanding and insight.

[dawnpalmby]

Of course it was Orwell. That man had a premonition

[guillermonicolasaguirrebor]

Damn Orwell hit the nail in the head super early. What a journalist

[mt_baldwin]

Orwell was not the only one that thought that. Stalin did to. Yes, Stalin, though (ironically) he didn't phrase it so darkly. He said that it was likely several decades of peace with the west were ahead due to both having nuclear weapons but both being unwilling to use them (Stalin also said nuclear weapons couldn't be used without bringing about the end of the world- another irony, if we had known Stalin thought this way, probably wouldn't have been a cold war).

Interestingly I discovered in a Swedish lexicon book called "Bra böckers lexikon 1-25". It defined the cold war as a period of 1948-1963 starting with west Berlin airlift and ending with the cuban crisis towards the end of 1962. Ironically the book series was released during the cold war and the 1990's.

Orwell was one of the greatest thinkers and writers when he wasn’t drunk.

[Herdatec]

It started as a cold war until it became the Cold War

[garmenlin]

Next question: when did The Troubles became known as The Troubles

[gormster]

Fun fact; the first time WWI was called the “First World War” was _while it was still happening._ Someone called it very early.

[prizrak-br]

It always comes back to Orwell, doesn't it?

[LilRebelYell]

The original use of "cold war" was the period after Britain and France declared war on Germany for invading Poland.
For months both lined up on the neither committed any hostile acts until Germany attacked the Maginot Line.

I know that Orwell is a controversial figure but you have to admit the man was a genius at political and social analysis

[irewoledeidowu-koya]

He also predicted this in the ending of animal farm

[MojtabaRezai-kf]

Because if we called it the "hot" war everybody would giggle

[Ma_Charoni]

Still hilarious to me that 1984 was released before the GDR was even formed😂
Orwell is one of the best authors to ever exist, with 1984 truly being the foundation of my political views😅

[michladd]

I thought it was Churchill at Fulton College in Missouri.

[antoniorobles]

An when did ww1&2 become known as ww1&2?

[DMMASTR]

When was the Renaissance known as the Renaissance?

[christophermotte]

Can you do the same thing for WW2 and WW1?

[dday]

BEEN ASKING THIS QUESTION FOR YEARS!!!
