The Cold War Explained From Beginning to End in One Minute: Causes/Effects, Timeline and Outcome

The cold war between the USA and its allies and the USSR and its allies definitely shaped the post-WW2 period. In one minute, I'll analyze the causes and effects of the cold war, walk you through the cold war timeline and of course see what lessons humanity should learn from the outcome of the cold war.

From beginning to end, the cold war told us things we should never forget. Unfortunately, humans aren't exactly amazing at that. To this day, most people still don't have a meaningful understanding of the causes + effects of the cold war and the main risk should be obvious: those who don't understand history are doomed to repeat it.

Trying to explain the complex and multi layered cold war period even only via the eyes of Americans in one minute is mindless.

First of all CW started in 1945 when Churchill prepared Operation Unthinkable. War to USSR. Second USSR collapsed not because economics. Collapsed because social failure and WWII trauma. We lost 26 millons of people. Then political betrayal of Stalin ideology also was traumatic to people. Even now russians and people in world think that Stalin is pure evil. (i am not Stalinist, i just read some facts about repressions) and last. economics failure was planned in 80s. it was named Planned deficit. For example soviet economics can run powerful space projects like energia-buran even in 1988

That explains why everyone wants to come to the U.S. and work. Wars are Senseless.

The cold war ended in 1989, the USSR collapsed in 1991

Request: demonetization in economics, or demonetization in India.

Thank you :)

“The plan I think is the old one of world dominion in a new form. The money power and the revolutionary power have been set up and given sham but symbolic shapes, (Capitalism or Communism) and sharply defined citadels (America and Russia). Such is the spectacle publicly staged for the masses, but what if similar men with a common aim secretly rule in both camps and propose to achieve their ambition through the clash between those masses? I believe that any diligent student of our times will discover that this is the case.”

Douglas Reed 1977
