Cold War

[photografr7]

The first Soviet atomic explosion was August 29, 1949, not August 9, 1949.

[hurryupche]

usa is incredibly insane place to live

[ATerribleBeast]

lolol Tetris music

[kaufmann789]

Sad that you didn't mention the "Tsar Bomba"

[ntf1992]

aren't u going to mention the several conflicts? and why is everybody saying that the soviets suck even though the AMERICANS were the first ones to build a hydrogen/atom bomb so u r all fucking hypocrites except the maker of this video cuz he doesn't put the blame on any1.

[starman60200]

damn soviets fuck russia what hell is that for?

[Haloman1126]

5 out of 5

[strizhi]

[dominic970]

[CanadaForce]

[CanadaForce]

[BlackIsOut]

@CanadaForce fuck you.

[CanadaForce]

@BlackIsOut

[MounDoGG]

I believe that the cold war has a lot of nice points. When there is competition the Human Kind develop more his technology like the space race for an example.

[seanedzZ]

true, but human kind also develops the most powerful nuclear bombs..

[zerjio89]

he did say fatman dumb ass..

[Denialsefer]

interesting, but there never was a bomb called fat boy dropped on Japan; only little boy and fat man, which destroyed the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

[spartan1179]

LOL TETRIS IN BACKGROUND MUSIC

[thunderflash82]

0:14 - Ireland, Sweden, Finland, Switzerland, and Austria were never part of the Warsaw pact

[j11k00]

YAY FINLAND!

[jrjr18181]

yh true

[jjrhs]

that's because they were neutral

[Cyberspine]

lol that map was NATO and the others, where the others=commies :P Finland rules!!

[empire161]

You can see that the countries you stated are actually a slightly different colour to the Warsaw Pact countries. Additionally, Albania was also a member of the Warsaw Pact until the early 60s, but its not marked on the map.

[loz1230]

yeah i am lol, thanks for your help:D

[bittemeinrammstein]

so basically the video says that both Russian and the US were pretty much playing a game...

Russia build one thing

USA builds something new

Russia makes something fresh

USA counters with some type of defence...

just a BIG cat and mouse game lol

glad we dident nuke each other chaps :)

love the errie sirens at begining and end by the way

greets from Udelnaya, Russia :)

[loz1230]

is there a song explaining the cold war or something that i could learn, i need it for my exam, and this is my best way of revising. please help.

[ilboche]

try 99 red ballons xd it is quite good all about it, and its preety good xD any other song i dont really know , there are plenty out there, there must be ;) are you doing your GCSES?? im doin mine on tuesday and revising right now :P jajaj good luck!

[mrsoza]

Sting - Russians.

[Bagataway11]

This has nothing to do with the early years of the cold war. Instead you focussed on the progression of nuclear weapons. Though this was a key factor in creating and intensifying the tensions between the USSR and US, post WWII occupation in Germany, the Iron Curtain, and Red Scare also started what we know as the cold war. This video was more of "A 3 Minute Documentary on the early years of the nuclear weapon."

[cincopuntouno]

Why the TETRIS music as ambient music :S

Excelent video ;)

[ilboche]

lol the "tetris music" is actually a soviet-russian style music, have you ever heard that tetris actually came from the USSR and it involved the CIA and the KGB?! xD

[WidowMaAKeR]

Don't see why you say "f u" America, maybe because you knew if their was a war both countries would have died and mostlikely neighboring countries would have died also around Russia since America had 24,000 nuclear warheads and Russia had 10,000 at the time.

[gabkwong]

Holly Shit! Holly Shit! Fuck You America!

[pujolsisgood13]

dude, it's pronounced nuclear, not nuculer

[KarrieDreammind]

Lol - tetris music in the background! XD

[XelementX506]

slurs but overall good video and great pictures

[PolishAmericanDC]

Great Please pass this to all.

We have to wake up. It was not the PERSHING II missiles ended the cold war but the will of the people of the Estern Europe. I was there i know. John Paul II " do not be afraid, you have to decide about your own future"

[IbunnyrabbitI]

great video. thanks!

[Theycallmehans]

The content was good, but, you slur very often. Take time to think about what you are about to say. Breath at the end of each sentence. Speak with your diaphram and keep cool don't be nervous.

[livesoft1]

This seems to be a text from Wikipedia article "Nuclear arms race" under Early Cold War section. Don't know who copied who...

[atlassdictionary]

i personally think russia the strongerest country cuz they have the most nukes

[DirtyNutter]

Quantity is meaningless though as both superpowers work on the premise of mutually assured destruction. An effective shield system is really the only way to gain any advantage which is why Russia is so pissed at America's plan to base one on European soil.

[truthenforcer]

We are inviting Russia in on this; again, the shield is not against Russia but our common enemies.

[kiwi0800]

you mean USSR?????

[patmix]

thats right agaginst terrorism

[Arid0123]

so who r u gonna protect us from ur nukes?

[truthenforcer]

It's a good plane that can deliver the load. Considering the threat of our time, Russia, America and China need to come together.

All of the bullshit attituides left over from the cold war need to be abandoned. Our common enemy today are the islamo-facists.

Why don't these 3 giants see this?

[atlassdictionary]

and canada

[footlooserules]

you are right man but unfortunatlley superpowers tend to act as rivals instead of allies. and atlassdictionary, hate to burst your bubble but england, france and germany would be more important in this domaine than canada... that is why the G8 exists though.

[rottenvenetic]

1:22 he sais "nucular" instead of "nuclear", lol! Makes you wonder how stupid that brain-of-flee in the white house really is next to average people...

[rhysieboy07]

russia is ashit hole lol

[s3rbpimp]

yo RUSIA & SERBBIA are brothers. RUSSIA & SERBIA can woops usa's (other known as u suck ass) ass any day. all usa fuckers suck balls. RUSSIA would win the cold wars. if the cold war were to happen the whole world would be gone. RUSSIA has the best motha faking nuclear weapons ever. thank you my RUSSIAN brothers.

[problemat2]

is that the reason there always fighting each other?

[marakeune]

Rusia and the USA arent the problem.. YOU ARE!

[JacopoX1993]

Actually, Russia had more powerful nuclear weapon (search Tsar Bomb on youtube), but a nuclear war doesn't see winner and loser, it sees only destroyed humanity. Better a opened war has never started...

[FranklinParkIL]

Very nice historical video. I'll add it to my playlist.

[PhILLyTaGGa112]

Russian Pride right here

[Kino483]

USA! USA!1

I support Russia

[shuggster1122]

no americans are just as bad as nazis and im brittish not russian

[bluedonkeyboxer]

Americans are just as bad as nazis?  The U.K. has just as much blood on their hands as the U.S.

[Cenara]

cuz the US drags the UK within the wars

[bluedonkeyboxer]

Have you ever heard of the world wars?

[Thisuxbigtime]

Russians are worse than nazis, and just as imperialistic (if not more) than Hitler was! If they could, they would impose their filthy communist will on everyone on earth! Their government treats it's own people like shit, and if you disagree with them, you will probably get poisoned faster than you can say cyanide! Russian scum!

[XT1870]

the cold war was weird, russia and america afraid of eachother so they start stockpiling weapons when really neither side was gonna attack, goes to show how dangerous paranoia is

[eggymean123]

ditto.

[belvueboy]

i work on thor missiles (ibms)in norfolk uk every thing then was very proto type (1958)lots of failures then .wouldnt have felt very protected by them ,high failure rates on practice countdowns .buttt!!! the've got got it all nailed now, highly accurate and reliable im sure.

[gooflethegreat]

Good Work, Only thing is it focuses mainly on the arms race and a little on the start of the space race, the early years of the cold war can also include the 'communisation' of Eastern Europe (46-48), Berlin Blockade (June 48 - May 49)'Fall' of China (49), Korean War (50-53)and also reasons for the intervention/action e.g Wartime allience issues (Yalta/Potsdam), economic intersts, 'democracy' etc etc. But very good on the Arms Race.

[aibek]

I think of Stalin and kneel before his intellect !!! He took the country as agrarian one and left it as a nuclear power.....Comrade Stalin, i fear no man but you

[patrick4sure333]

how do u save a video so u can put it on windows movie maker?

[AMV8vantage]

thanks dude i used this for my history test

[khakimov]

[khakimov]

So Russian OWNED!

[oracle01]

You did a great job with putting this together. All in all it was incredibly informative. Did you have to do this for school? Or was this something you randomly decided to put together? I might crit on the narration though. Just to the fact that the speaking was a bit rushed and slurred.

[oracle01]

[cont.] The voice (I pressume this was yours? Not sure..) is strong and wouldn't hurt if you slowed it down a tad. People who are interested in the subject wouldn't mind waiting a few extra seconds to hear everything you have to say on the matter.

I was hoping to view more! You've got a real knack for this kind of thing. Keep it up. :)

[TheUnforgivingOne]

not bad ^^ I.C.B.M.S were usefull....but the sovits started the Inter continental ballistics missles system ^^ but not bad...seemed like you were tripping over your words a bit but owell

[blowmoulder1]

not bad man

[carmine41]

Hi, what did you use to make this. my daughter has to do a report for the cold war, and this is great, Thanks

[Naskatan]

To make this I used a program called "Final Cut Express" on a Macintosh. It's a very simple and effective program.

[smalltalkfan]

@carmine41 you can also use qindows movie maker
