@HostingReviews1 This is not just theory. After 40 years all countries have to freely give out all documents unless it endangers the lives of people such as witness protection and undercover agents. Anyone can access the private documents that countries handed eachother in private. Some of them are truly interesting.
I am always amazed at the ability of teachers of US Hist to speak, w/o batting an eyelash, about the US installing or overthrowing the governments of other sovereign nations (which we do, as you can learn from Sal's prev vid about the Bay of Pigs, not to make sure democratic, humane leaders are in place, but to ensure our own political or economic domination). No matter your politics, a true teacher of US Hist would at least pose the question "Do we have the right to do this?"
@river777runner I had a teacher who was great at that, even if it completely opposed his opinion, he would always add both sides of each argument, it really made learning so much better when you have two perspectives.
Hi, Sal. Can I request? Can you make a long video or combine multiple videos to one and arrange mutually exclusive timelines paralleled so we get to understand the whole world history in just one video? Because some of the incidents would be connected to each other and it is difficult already to align your history videos and mentally connect the dots. It would make things a lot easier for us or at least for me If I am not being too selfish, Thank you! And please keep uploading your videos......!
hello i survive this time in history, i recall , anti aircraft missile falling from a truck in caretera central caimito near san antonio de los banos cross from my house.nise work. God speed
The difference between the proposals was due to power struggles in the USSR itself. It shouldn't be forgotten that Kruschev was himself fearful of being seen as a weak figure too and feared the Soviet military was plotting a coup against him - and indeed he was disposed as a consequence of what was seen by the Soviet military as a humilation.
my bet, The CIA made the U-2 spy plane vulnerable to get shot down so they could justify their position for a full scale attack and convince kennedy to change his position and invade.
Hello very interesting to be better informed about this tumultuous time period. I usually just watch your videos that pertain to my engineering major. I do have a question, my father told me of a fact he learned on the history channel; about the soviets having a radio delay to their missile locations, after the ceasefire was declared, in which missiles could have been launched at the U.S.A., even though an agreement was reached. Do you know if that is true? Thanks your videos are awesome!

Sal saying he would read that letter made me think about him reading actual books. I'd love to hear your voice in "A Brief History of Time" or similar. Oh! Read the American Constitution!
I would look up any technical stuff that was needed for a job or an exam, including fundamental math, science and economics concepts. I think it is better to get videos on history or geopolitical type economics. I think videos like this history set, or like the ones that explained the China-USA currency situation would be more popular. Videos about who is likely to win present wars (rather that who has the moral highground) would also be good.
computer science!!! i really want you to say HELLO WORLD! java would be best, but c or c++ is good also. i have to admit that qBasic would make my day : )
@doomsword86 I don't think it's all for show. They are not gaining anything from doing business with a country that doesn't have a private market.
In fact, by isolating them they are protecting their own market because a communist regime playing the free market is like competing against giant corporation that owns a huge island with eleven million employees at it's disposal.
China on the other hand is/was different story because they have (partially) opened their market for foreign investors.
@noxure that is assuming that cuba would not have changed in the past four decades as a reaction to trade with the U.S. ... I think the very reason they don't have a significant private market is that they can't really have much of a foreign trade market. With the point about the "corporation that owns an island" I have to disaggree strongly. It would be one heck of an inefficient corporation. Market protection never really works the way it was intended anyway....
Awesome vids mate. Could you comment on the Hawaii Annexation and perhaps the American Samoa takeover. Im interested in your comments on those. Thanks
@doomsword86 To appear strong and not admit mistakes. Of course, in all other countries they intend to increase internet coverage and maybe even dissidence through that, while in Cuba they take steps for that not to happen. Also I sometimes think the sanctions on Cuba are meant as some kind of "showcase of a failing communist economy", while communists would argue communist Cuba would thrive if it wasn't for the sanctions. All a big kindergarden of politics if you ask me....
@SalsaTiger83 Especially when the US refused the aid Cuba offered after Katrina. 1.500 doctors and tons of equipment would have saved many lives, especially when every minute counts.
But nooo, rather having your citizens die than saying "thank you". It's so irresponsible that you would expect that only a petty dictator is capable of doing something so stupid.
Yet, most Americans are convinced nobody in the world offered any help at all. Those poor dumb bastards make me so sad...
@noxure They had to turn it down given prior policy. Not that the actual prior policy was sane, though. Also, the U.S. can afford to pay for it's own health care if it wanted to.... They don't really need to have child death rates higher than libya....
@SalsaTiger83 I know, considering that the health and safety of your own citizens should have priority over that's exactly what I meant. And yes, off course; but the main issue is getting enough qualified personnel over there as fast as possible. Money only helps in the aftermath.
The irony is that a poor country like Cuba is unique because it has so many doctors it could afford to send a lot of them over there without impeding their own healthcare system.
History is an important subject. Also a controversial one. But I'd love to meet Americans with a better grasp of non-american history or politics in the future... Of course not all US-Americans are *that* bad, but I often have the impression they don't know a lot. Just not a focus of their educational system....
I always think communication between enemies while at war/on the brink of war is a really interesting thing to look at, it seems really strange that people can still negotiate even when they are mortal enemies.
Yeah, once the History playlist is more developed it will be such a resourceful library for its information and entertainment value. I would rather watch these videos than the history channel on television.
