When you realise Ireland, Switzerland, Sweden, and Finland were so nuetral they didn’t even join the neutral alliance

[danielpetrov]

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-During the Cuban missile crisis missiles were mostly removed from Turkey, and they were outdated anyway.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.

"Im blocking your supply lines to Berlin. What are you gonna do about it?"
"I suppose we'll just...fly the supplies in"
"Alright Truman, you win this round"

✔️ Losing to some farmers in Vietnam

[WhomThouDoesNotKnow]

The part about France is inaccurate. France left the “united command, ” but was still part of NATO.

[mackermate]

Don't forget Tito, the leader of communist Yugoslavia, hated Stalin

[savagery]

honestly, thank you again, i am so glad that people like these exist, who make these videos. really helping out students out there, thanks to your effort!

[lukez]

Spectacular video, really fascinating. It would be really awesome if someday we could have a long-form video that lists out all the microsatellite war/conflict that happened between the major ones listed in this one (such as the US/USSR's influence over Ethiopia and Somalia in the Ogaden war, or the various attempted communist regimes in central/south America)

[Alberts_Stuff]

I had fricking idea I was this interested in historic world conflict. You got a sub 👍🏻 👍🏻 👍🏻
