sadly yes, but from what I've read some people initially considered the Cold War to be over during the détente period until détente ended, at which point the new phase of the Cold War was referred to as Cold War II. I wonder if historians 20 years from now will think of the 1992-2013 period as "détente II", and whether our current time period will just be seen as superpowers going back and forth between cold war and détente cycles

Overall this video was very informative and educational and I would recommend it to other people. Although historically accurate, there is a very clear and obvious western bias that cannot be overlooked, although craftily subtle. For example, the Angola communist takeover is mentioned briefly, but the unofficial NATO membership of apartheid South Africa and its role in protecting US/NATO interests in Southern Africa against anti-colonial communist insurrection is completely omitted, even though it was a massively relevant aspect of the latter half of the cold war.

His bias was not pro-Western at all.

Yet he is very quick to point out atrocities committed by the West, which indicates a heavy Eastern bloc bias

I'd love to see a video pick up where this ends and go to present day; the same stuff has pretty much continued happening.

This is a very brief but essential overview to the Cold War, one which all the young people around the world who seem to be clueless about geopolitics would greatly benefit from watching (several times). I actually think that the Cold War never really ended, that the Cold Part 2 began in 1991, and that we are now on the brink of its conclusion, which will end in World War 3.

1989/1991-2014/2017 was the interwar period except in between the two Cold Wars. The end of the first Cold War was either 1989 (fall of Berlin Wall & Soviet satellites gaining independence) or 1991 (end of the Soviet Union entirely). I believe the second Cold War either started in 2014 with Russia's actions in Ukraine and China's actions in the South China Sea or 2017 which was the beginning of the trade war between the US & China as well as de facto end of the Donbass War which resulted in the two unrecognized Russian separatist "republics" in Eastern Ukraine. Feb 2022 full-scale invasion in Ukraine was a major escalation of Cold War 2.0 similar to how the Korean War was a major escalation of the first Cold War.

This Very Excellent Presentation Should Be Taught in All the Worlds Schools - Thankyou for This Amazing Production -

It is always weird and funny to me that the soviet union, for all its flaws and oppression (not saying the west is/was a utopia btw) died just as it was born: with shockingly little bloodshed. Yes I know the 1917-1921 civil war was brutal, but the lack of initial resistance to Lenin's seizure of power is just astounding to me. Similarly, for all the talk of being a nuclear armed unassailable superpower, the collapse and disintigration of the USSR happended with shockingly little bloodshed and violence (not saying there wasn't massive economic and political chaos, but there was basically no large-scale war). Both events have to be among the more unique ones in human history I'd bet.

I picked up on that as well. Algeria being part of Metropolitan France when NATO was formed was another great detail.

You omitted the one of very imperative details on the PRC replacing ROC as one of the UN's five permanent members. The then US President Nixon clandestinely sold out Chiang Kai-shek's Permanent Five membership to Mao near the end of October 1971. Then 4 months later, Nixon went to 北京 in the last week of February 1972 to shake hands with Mao, icebreaking the hostilities between the 2 countries since the end of the Korean War. On the same trip, immediately after, Nixon traveled to 上海, together with China's then prime minister 周恩來, to announce to the world a Communiqué that from then on, the US and China were allies. In other words, this new alliance started facing their common enemy in the north. Why? It's because Nixon was seeking re-election for the 1972 campaign so desperately. His predecessor LBJ was destroyed by Vietnam War. He was reluctant to duplicate the same failure. Shaking hands with Mao in front of the global media means at least one of the 2 major supports/supplies was shut down from North Vietnam. Americans finally saw the light at the end of the tunnel-------their family members/loved ones can be expected to come home soon. Nixon successfully secured his 2nd term of office in November of the same year, 1972. After a long and exhausting campaign coming out with a flying flag, Nixon retreated to Camp David for a month, meanwhile, he came up with an idea. He ordered the air force to muster 250 B52s, proclaiming he would bombard North Vietnam's capital back to the stone age when he emerged from his retreat. After 10 days of B52 intensive bombing of Hanoi, ending around just before the Xmas Eve of 1972, the North Vietnamese yielded, They agreed to go back to the negotiation table. 3 months later, a Peace Accords was signed in Paris. American soldiers could go home now.

The economy of the country at that time were better due to US involvement, but not even a decade after Cold War ended, in 1998 Indonesia's economy plummeted due to no superpower's influence to back us up.
