One of the victims of the Cold War was my country , Greece. The Civil War was the second stab my country received after the German occupation. It led thousands of compatriots to death and in jail for decades to come, holding back the nation in poverty and darkness for many years. ..
Greece is still more rich than any former communist country besides Czechia. Also more developed (HDI) except for Czechia, Slovenia, and Estonia. The dictatorship sucked, but Greece would have been worse under the ELAS/DSE. Who are the ones that started the war anyways, leading to the dark years
Contrary to Gareth Evans' assertion, Emperor Hirohito, in his explantation to the Japanese people of why Japan had to "endure the unendurable" (ie surrender), referred specifically to the atomic bombs but not at all to the declaration of war by the USSR.
100% in fact the reason they didn't surrender after the first one was because they were trying to negotiate with USSR in the hope they would let them retain the emperor as head of state. Complete opposite to what he was stating ...
As a Cold War Veteran, 84-88, I honestly liked the world then as compared to now. No one had the.....audacity to pull what these peon counrties do today. Everyone was hip to what could happen and the results.
Modern historians can revise their estimates as to the cause of Japan's surrender, but the fact remains that Stalin rushed to invade because of the atomic bombings, afraid he'd lose his chances of getting more territory if Japan surrendered first. He'd have dragged his feet to attack otherwise. Therefore, the bombings did shorten the war anyway.
nonsense. the US let japan keep the emperor. stalin would have marched the emperor down red square in a bird cage. The emperor was the deciding factor.
You're correct, he did drag his feet in Korea. He had promised North Korea Communist regime vital assistance after ensured division of the Korean nation. He forced the Chinese and Mao to intervene and barely helped, sending only few Soviet planes for minor air support.

So did Churchill. FDR was too full of himself to see that Stalin was a dangerous tyrant. I think FDR might have admired Stalins ability exercise total control, FDR has Congress and the Supreme Court sometimes standing in his way.
Japan too. I'm in the US and frankly I'd love to see some German and Japanese bases here in the US. Let's set things up so we're truly allies, and not the one nation occupiers over other nations. Well, maybe not occupiers but still, .DE and .JP bases in the US would be cool.
@@alexcarter8807that would be absolutely pointless and a huge waste of money. American military bases in Germany and Japan are supported by a good portion of those countries.
also Germany and Japan want these bases there for their protection, germany for example has slacked with military spending for decades and relies on the US to protect it in a potential armed conflict with russia. Hope we arm up quickly though
18:35, my family has known two American military men who were deliberately exposed to the atomic explosions at the Bikini atoll. One lived a long life, but all the men with him died young. The other died of radiation poisoning. Remember what government care really means.
The term "mutual assured destruction", commonly abbreviated "MAD", was coined by Donald Brennan, a strategist working in Hetman Kahn's Hudson Institute in 1962. Howevet, Brenna came up with this acronym ironically, spelling out the English word "mad" to argue thar holding weapons capable of destroying society was irrational.
"Scholars today say" Funny how the story changes when all those that were there finally die off. For 70+ years Japan surrendered due to the atomic bombs but now scholars *today* say something different.
This series has also been released under the name 'Cold War Armageddon', which has a total of 8 episodes. I think under the name M.A.D world, only the first 3 episodes came out. Something to keep in mind if you like this series as I do.
@@mattbriody7575 Actually 'cold war armageddon' is just the abridged, US release of MAD World. MAD World is 8 episodes of 50-52 minutes in length where cold war armageddon had episodes 42-44 minutes in length, cutting an hour off the series. This is the good version, though it has the violence edited out for youtube.
Jocko said it best: war takes two kinds of will. When you are willing to die and when you are willing to kill. And not just kill the enemy, but when you are willing to kill innocent civilians. because that is what is going to happen, civilians are going to die. And if you ask anybody who's ever been to war, they would tell you war is almost never justified, yet those who start wars often never have been to war'
That's mostly true but the cause is 1. Western-inspired coup in Ukraine 2014 overthrow of democratically elected leader. 2. NATO expansionism betraying the solemn assurance that we wouldn't ( not an inch to the East ) 3. American jealousy of Russian mineral resources sales to Western Europe ( oil & gas ) 4. The pathological need of Western leaders to Poke the Bear, a need to humiliate and slander Russia born of a deep-seated cultural insecurity about it's own identity. Hope this helps. Have a safe and productive day 👍
I think it's terrible the people have to die because of political ideology. I'm sure those poor people that died in Japan didn't want anything to do with the war. Most people just want to go to work and come home to their family. I do not know why people run to a political war cry just because of the ruling class once more power.😢
Could you imagine what Japan or Germany would have done if they invented the A-bomb during WW2? The world was thankful that the USA used it twice and only USA had possession of the A-bomb as well. Sounds harsh but it's true.
What amazes me the most was how the allied nations were able to turn the axis powers into their allies and trade partners with shared values ( excluding Soviet Union/ Russian Federation of course)
It's only possible because leaders believe in nothing but themselves. They're friendly to whoever and whatever advances their interests. Always at the cost of their own population, never themselves.
That Gareth Evans is being completely disingenuous when he claims that nuclear weapons played no part in the Japanese surrender. Although it may have been disappointing for the Japanese to have the Soviet Union (opportunistically) declare war on them at that late stage, it was still really all about the fear that they would experience total annihilation under the bomb. Corroborated arguments between various members of the ruling cabal under emperor Hirohito strongly indicate that....
lol exactly - unless the ussr was able to kill 100k in second, i think they were more worried about the bomb this isn't even debatable - in fact its the complete opposite japan tried to negotiate with ussr to enter the war post the first bomb, as they were willing to trade anything to retain the emperor as head of state [these negotiations are all documented and now available online at official war college archives]
There’s no reason why a blockade of Japan would’ve been unsuccessful much in the same way as the German U-boat campaign was to Britain, but contrarily unopposed
If anything, the bomb should have been demonstrated on some of those little islands that they were obsessed with occupying, anyway, the whole narrative of invading and dominating was farcical, Japan was already pulverized and dependent upon imports to survive. A blockade would have obtained the objectives, but the real reason for dropping the nukes was for observation and revenge.
Everyone always wants to say the bomb wasn’t necessary. Yet, no one talks about the alternatives because it blows up their argument. 1. Blockade - Millions starve to death, Japan relies on imports and cant feed its population. 2. Invade - Millions die in fighting, chemical weapons are used by the Japanese (which people seem to forget they had) and every POW is executed as per the standing order of the Japanese command. People love to say it was the soviet union except the soviet union couldn’t attack mainland Japan. They had no navy to do it with lol. The emperor himself said in a speech they were surrendering because of the bomb. The guy who made the deciding vote to surrender wrote it down and said why lol.

There isn't a single person in any of these documentaries giving viewpoint's from someone who was in support of the soviet union to the point its laughable what the point is in including them if you don't hear from all sides. Its definitely biased but not extremely so as multiple parts spend large parts going over American atrocities. Communism isn't a problem its that said countries were authoritarian which the US made worse themselves intentionally installing dictators who abused their people solely because they were against communism. The soviets were worse but the US isn't exactly in the clear either with their long list of crimes against humanity

And you clearly don’t understand youtube and their terms of service on what is allowed to be shown regarding violence. Take a second to think next time instead of jumping to your emotions.
The fear of mass nuclear destruction is now history. Although theoraticalky still a menace it is overhyped.tye problem is he oil and fossil fuel companies that we should worry about who would readily sabotage the chance to switch to clean energy
And Stalin respected - if not feared - FDR. On the opposite, I think Stalin saw Truman as a weak and unexperienced president that he could play. And he did.

Japanese scholars and historians do like to cast Japan as the innocent victims of the nuclear bomb, rather than the aggressors who carried out numerous atrocities throughout China and the rest of Asia.
@@michaelsummerell8618 So you’re saying it was okay to drop two atom bombs? Let’s be honest here: all countries involved in wars commit atrocities. All of them. There are no exceptions.

Are you going to seriously argue that the soviets were a force for good?? Please give even one argument for Soviet style government being better that western capitalism. Just one.
@@MoldyNachos89 bruh neither side is a force for good lmao this series is still heavily biased with how it offers no perspectives whatsoever from a pro soviet lens while giving a dozen or so pro American viewpoints throughout it. Obviously the Soviets are worse but that doesn't mean you can just give one side of the story and have a good documentary. They go over American atrocities in later parts but it does still have a clear bias with situations like the Cuban missile crises where it downplays the fact America had nukes aiming at Russia first placed in Turkey. The main problem with the soviets wasn't communism it's that they were authoritarian which the US made worse themselves by funding multiple dictatorships that abused the people because they were against communism.
Cold War Armageddon was the american heroes channel version of MAD World. Cold war armageddon cut 60 minutes from the series for american TV. These episodes are 10 minutes longer.
I really like his take on actually not creating the a bomb to end WW2. I mean at that point Germany was out. Idk feel like the results would have been the same if we didn’t bomb the cities that way.
