I like how 3rd world country term is now used to mean poor and unstable countries. Although many are stable and rich, just didnt join sides in the cold war.
It's kind of scary thinking about the amount of times we were close to a nuclear war during this time period.
Austria:
For anyone wondering why Ukraine, Belarus and Kazakhstan are nuclear powers towards the end: They inherited Soviet missiles once they became independent. History Matters made a video on it so I suggest you watch that for more info.
When this same video is made about Cold War II (China vs USA) in 50 years time, Africa's going to go red real fast in the 2010s 😆
Yugoslavia wasn't a soviet ally, it tried to maintain neutral relations with both sides and to trade with whom they can. Stalin even tried to assasinate Tito a few times, and Tito said that if he tries to assasinate Stalin once, he won't need to try again.
for some reason I expected for this timelapse to go beyond 1991 and show NATO expanding into the former Warsaw Pact countries, the various changes in the Middle East, China's expanding influence, etc.
It's quite staggering how the Soviet Blitzkrieg into East Asia in the final days of WW2 is so overlooked when it played such a massive role in setting the tone of the Cold War and politics today. It essentially led to China's fall to Communism, the Korean War, and the ensuing US mindset that led to Vietnam and other interventions like Afganistan that proved to have disastrous consequences.
Cold War become Hot War as soon as missile start to dance on the sky

Three corrections we've noticed:
Thanks for the patience! Glad to be back.
The virgin superpower versus the chad non-aligned movement
had to put it at half speed to notice all the changes each month, but still, excellent video, man. i'd imagine that research alone took forever
Really awesome video honestly, great job!
@EmperorTigerStar myself wouldn't be me without you! Also great job!
I really love the choice of music. It's constantly building up but never drops or releases, very very fitting
Man, this brings back memories. Your original Cold War video was the second video I watched from you when I was just starting to teach myself geography.
its pretty nice to see a remaster of this masterpiece
