Great series.

The waste of human lives caught up in a war and the aftermath of a world war is a lesson we all need to revisit, so we don't repeat it. Petty disagreements between countries that erupt and grow into world wars have consequences that fall upon the innocent citizens that starve and die of disease, even after hostilities cease.

From 1914 to 1945 the list of mistakes is endless, and in many respects the world is still paying for those mistakes. If we are stupid enough to ever have another world war, we don't deserve to come out of it at the end. Not much else to say about it really is there?

Soviets abandon Greek communists as part of a larger collaboration against the Third Reich. 15:36 The aftermath of WW2 and the Yalta Conference gave the Soviets unique access and control over central Europe. Soviet interventionism and collaboration with local communists there. 19:10 American and Soviet relations 19:31 Soviet POWs captured by Germany, Home Army Poles, White Russian emigrés, etc. are prevented from escaping the Soviet sphere of influence. 20:50 Polish collaboration with and opposition to the Soviet Union during reconstruction period of the country. 22:25 Stalin’s authoritarian personality and authority at home. Stalin’s speeches instigate anxiety in the United States. 29:07 Churchill’s tour in the US, tie-in with the opening. Anglosphere collective response to Soviet sphere. 32:02 Stalin’s intervention in Turkey, causing the Anglosphere to panic over the Suez Canal. 32:55 Iranian perspectives on Russia and America, and their intervention in Turkey. *Important figures:* 9:42 Lavrentij Pavlovič Beriâ and Viatcheslav Molotov. 10:12 Gueorgui Joukov (commonly pronounced “Zhukov”). 14:18 Clement Ackley. 14:32 Ernest Bevin. 33:25 Mohammad Reza Pahlavi.

Iron Curtain is an example of incredible stupidity. Of Western Europe (mostly Germany) - lost a million "workers". If not for the "iron curtain" - the losses were filled in with Eastern Europe (the Soviet bloc). But Western Europe had to compensate the loss of Arab and African countries, which has ruined Europe. The West was the initiator of the Iron Curtain, not the USSR. The West tried to harm the Soviet Union (which happened in 1991), but ruined himself.

Influence on other countries is weakening. Sure, the USA may still wave its rifles to great effect. But that's not all there is to diplomatic relations. I'm German and when I look at my country... well, we make mistakes. Any country does. But the allies gave us another shot at a peaceful Germany and I think we did that graceful decision justice. I love the USA for helping build my home as I know it and it makes me sad to look at how it's developed since Truman. Europe may be mediocre in some aspects. We don't have the greatest armed forces, the greatest economy, the greatest territory. But we've had a long lasting peace and despite the British leaving of the EU, the cooperation of European states is great overall. If that's mediocre to you, I'm afraid we'll have to agree to disagree.
