Countries Divided During the Cold War

During the Cold War, several countries were divided along ideological lines. In this video, we will discuss those countries, as well as other countries divided during the Cold War that has less to do with communism and anti-communism.

Suggestions for improvement are well-appreciated. Apologies if I mispronounced any words, especially the names of personalities and place names. If you have countries or entities divided that I forgot to include in this video, you can mention them in the comments. Please subscribe to this channel for more uploads.

NOTES:
[1] China is an interesting case. Although it's not a direct division of China, instead it's a geopolitical situation where two political entities exist under the name "China". However, I still included this as this issue still falls under global communist and non-communist divide.
[2] Austria was never formally divided, but I included it in this video as Austria was still partitioned into occupied zones for a decade before securing its independence.
[3] Japan was never formally divided as well, but I included a plan to divide Japan after WW2, just like Germany, essentially putting this section under alternate history.
[4] Trieste is not a country, but it's an entitity divided between Italian and Yugoslav zone, and I still consider it as Cold War-related division.
[5] India was partitioned during the Cold War. Cyprus was divided betwen four entities, and the division also happened during the Cold War. Ireland wasn't divided during the Cold War but a significant event known as "The Troubles" occurred during the Cold War, and the division of Ireland is significant nonetheless. Like with Austria, Libya was occupied by two different powers, so I believe that also counts.

If we say India is divided
Was it even supposed to Unite?
If you look at South Asia's history it was divided for 99.999% cases
