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. Infact, he fails to mention a hell of a lot of atrocities committed by Eastern Bloc members, such as the Bosnian genocide, the years of oppression and disease under Mao Zedong, the draining of the Aral Sea by the Soviet Union, and many, many more. Yet he is very quick to point out atrocities committed by the West, which indicates a heavy Eastern bloc bias

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.
@Handledorff 5 місяців тому
I disagree at being at the end. Assuming your hypothesis is correct (it certainly gives everyone something to think about) it looks like the authoritarian order countries are all creating proxy battles to avoid direct confrontation with the states and NATO forces. Russia views ukraine as a western proxy and Iran views Israel as a western proxy. That’s how I view it
@varunrajesh6516 22 дні тому
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.
@DannyintheSpirit 22 дні тому
You make many good points, but I think it is more accurate to say that the Cold War never really ended, that it went into a new phase after 1989, and that we are now at the end of it. I wrote the above comment 4 months ago, and look at where we are right now with Israel, the USA, Iran and Russia in the Middle East, not to mention China. No one knows exactly what will happen, we just know it will not be Cold, but very Hot.
