The Cold War in 7 minutes

The Cold War was a state of geopolitical tension after World War II between powers in the Eastern Bloc (the Soviet Union and its satellite states) and powers in the Western Bloc (the United States, its NATO allies and others). Historians do not fully agree on the dates, but a common timeframe is the period between 1947, the year the Truman Doctrine, a U.S. foreign policy pledging to aid nations threatened by Soviet expansionism, was announced, and either 1989, when communism fell in Eastern Europe, or 1991, when the Soviet Union collapsed. The term "cold" is used because there was no large-scale fighting directly between the two sides, but they each supported major regional wars known as proxy wars.

I just spent 7 minutes and 56 seconds trying to figure out if that's his real voice or a computer voice instead of paying attention

Hi, this graphics work is amazing. How did you make it? The hand is drawing but I'm not sure how you managed to add it in. Thank you so much for your response.

First liked the video, and it was very informative for the amount of time great work. Especially the graphics and animations they give everything a lighter touch and the narrator had  awesome tune but was to monotone which is not really fitting with the images because you have all those funny graphics plus the emotions in them but then the monotone voice not fitting even worse I thought it made it a bit boring even though I really appreciated the video as a hole and history facts, but I just can't deny I thought was a bit boring.
One more thing the music was very annoying especially the clicking set me off.
Hopefully my honest opinion wasn't too harsh because u just see the effort which is put into the video.
