Asia you're absolutely right - my wife and I were commenting how despite having thousands of years of history to study and learn from, so much of the same things keep happening - and so many areas have had literally dozens of wars over the same river or patch of land or whatever over and over and over again. And the Berlin wall came down in 1989 - I remember that as well, and I actually got to hold a piece of it once - my parents had a friend in the Army that was stationed over there when the wall came down and he brought a piece back with him. I was only 12 so I didn't fully "get it" at the time but now that I'm older it makes sense why that was such a big deal. There are some videos online of folks trying to escape East Berlin, there's a crazy one called "Swim for your life out of the GDR!" (GDR was short for the German Democratic Republic - the official name of East Germany) and it really drives the point home that if you need to build a wall to keep folks IN your city or country because otherwise they'll leave - then you're probably doing something wrong, lol. Cheers

Hey Colonel B, Thanks for your love, support & comments always ❤️❤️

You guys should definitely do more Oversimplifieds. Sam O'Nella Academy also makes hilarious cartoon history videos, usually about more obscure topics.

[@lizd2943]

And FYI foreign aid has a miniscule impact on the debt and the Marshall Plan loans were paid back. Our current debt crisis is primarily the result of the Bush Jr and Tump tax cuts for the wealthy, Iraq, and the coranabana virus.

[@Pokeysaurus]

Yes! They're all great, whatever subject interests you the most but I'd love to see more. Also not from Oversimplified but another "animated funny history" genre movie is The Dumbest Russian Voyage Nobody Talks About by BlueJay. Absolutely hilarious.

[@Dead25m]

@@lizd2943 "primarily the result of the Bush Jr and Tump tax cuts" You're forgetting Reagan who started the tax cuts.

Stalin had everyone around him so crazy with fear that when he had a stroke? (or maybe poison) that they took too long arguing about whether they could open the door to his room to give him any real help. The doctors were afraid too.

[@richardmartin9565]

I was a "Cold Warrior" during the 70s and 80s working on DoD contracts in direct competition with the Soviets. We didn't know how good we were until the early 1980s.

[@JPMadden]

We don't have a masssive national debt and high annual defecits because of foreign aid, which is typically less than one percent of government spending. The causes are that some taxes have been cut and some spending increased, without being paid for. The debt is intentional. The statistics show which taxes and spending I'm referring to, but being specific would be politically controversial.

The Soviet Union had a cool national anthem, I've gotta give them that.

The Berlin Wall came down on November 9th, 1989. And I remember it like it was yesterday.

[@kayzeaza]

The wording of this video is a bit vague. The US didn't just give Europe free money after the war. They were loans that the allies were expected to pay back. Also the majority of the money was to be spent on US produced materials helping to keep the economy afloat after the transition from a war economy to a civil one. The US is still making money from loan repayments.

[@amelias.2509]

Loved this. I'm old enough to remember starting with the 60s and this was a good reminder. P.s. You guys are so likeable and I really enjoy your channel.

[@albinjohnsson2511]

America actually sends way less aid per capita than many other developed countries. It's a minuscule part of your budget. Your military, on the other hand, is crazy expensive.

[@TheChromanoise]

You mean the nilitary that has bases in 100’s of countries for their protection? I guess they that doesn’t technically count as aid.

[@jamielandis4308]

There is a fun black comedy about Stalin’s death called “The Death of Stalin,” that came out a couple of years ago. I recommend it.

American national debt was not the result of the Marshal Plan.

that's correct

[@joshuasimpson364]

Will y’all finish the civil war 2 oversimplified

[@leoda_lion4107]

This one tried to fast forward through a lot, but there is a lot of stuff that had HUGE impacts that are felt today, like the US having a hand in overthrowing the Iranian government in 1953. If we had done NOTHING, the Shah would probably still be in charge instead of a fanatical extremist religious cleric. There is more like the Cuban Missile crisis which they hinted at. Please do Part 2.

[@artembentsionov]

The Berlin Airlift infographic with the planes coming in one after the other is just barely an exaggeration of what actually happened

[@sammalla5238]

You gotta do more Oversimplified. You still haven't uploaded part 2 on the American civil war as well. I'd suggest Napoleonic wars after this one

[@iKvetch558]

Standard note that I post on this one...copied and pasted. This is not one of Oversimplified's better video series, they leave out too many pivotal events, and too many of the things they talk about are just not based on the latest historical data. It is not bad, there are way worse videos about the Cold War on YT, it is just not nearly as good as a lot of their other stuff. In this one, the biggest even they do not talk about is the Suez Crisis of 1956, which was a hugely impactful event in the early Cold War. It was the reason why several European nations...including Turkey...were demanding that the US deploy nuclear weapons on their soil as part of the NATO defense commitment. That happened because Khrushchev blustered about using Soviet medium range and intermediate range missiles to nuke Europe if Britain and France did not back down in Egypt. But Oversimplified just left too much out of this one...to the point where it goes far beyond oversimplification...they should not have made this series so short. They spent around 20 more minutes covering the US Civil War, a conflict that lasted less than 5 years, than they did on the 50 years or so of the Cold War.✌

[@scotthill1600]

Can’t wait for part 2

[@bryanmack4054]

12:40 it’s worth noting that Khrushchev was heavily criticized by Stalin loyalists, including Mao Zedong at the time…accusing Khrushchev of being “revisionist “…Khrushchev also approved the transfer of control of Crimea to Ukraine…which factors heavily into the current conflict between Putins Russia and Ukraine

[@deadaccount7520]

This one is kind of tricky. It didn't have the name at the time but that tension. Had existed to some extent even b4 WW2. If it started with that proclamation they stated. Then to me the pregame started with the allies establishing the beach head at Normandy. As it became a race to Berlin. Also think that those two bombs were dropped to stop a soviet invasion of mainland Japan as much as it was to keep us from having to do it. Basically ensuring there wasn't a east/west or north/south split with Japan. Which a prolonged invasion would have resulted in.

[@drakeswarchannel2530]

Great stuff! Thanks for your work guys!

[@terryjohnson5579]

Also just as people that like movies it may not ne a historic event but the movie Atomic Blonde give a pretty clear idea of berlin at the end of the cold war

[@meanlean3095]

1 of the main reasons it was only a Cold War was because Britain thinks of America as our oldest son so would do everything to protect them & because of British technology (RAF Vulcan) being the best in the world throughout the Cold War years….

[@BigZoolin]

Y’all should watch part 2. It will give a better understanding of the REAL reason behind the Ukraine war today..and possibly Taiwan next.

[@douglassellers7528]

NATO was formed to protect against the USSR taking them over. I remember the saying "Russia got Hungary and fried Turkey in Greece".

Extra History on KZbin has great videos on both the Berlin Airlift and the Berlin Wall. And don't be to hard on our government for handing out foreign aid. I look at as my tax dollars being handed out like a baller. Spot some country a few bucks so they'll know you're a good guy. And when someone asks how this baller can afford it, it's like "I kinda can't, but at least I got friends now. Who I will see later because my broke ass needs to get to work".

Great reaction. I tiny comment I wanna make is that the male commenter (BJ ?) has his audio levels a bit weird (I hear him louder on my left earbud). However, I don't have this issue with the oversimplified video or the female commenter's (Asia ?) voice. Anyway, thank you or the video.

[@Randall82760]

[@ads2686]

Americas debt has nothing to do with world war 2, after ww2 America was rich and had made so much money during ww2 they could afford to pay to rebuild Europe. All the money britian borrowed during ww2 from America was paid back in full with intrest, the uk only finished paying the debt in 2010 the us had no deficit. in fact upto the 80's America had the highest tax rates in the world. The reason you are in debt it because the republicans borrowed huge amounts of money for massive tax cuts and because of Ronald regan's tax cuts & massive military spending. I think George bush & Donald trump loaded almost 10 trillion worth of debt with there tax cuts. Also the thing about America's debt is 75% of the debt is actually owed to the us treasury.

[@johnny6128]

I agree bloated military spending is a major factor in our massive debt but both parties love wars of choice and the M.I.C not just republicans.

[@carkawalakhatulistiwa]

US debt is because we have peace after cold war😂😂😂

[@Abhinav-m4o]

Also Obama spending in middle East

[@orion7326]

Completely illogical comment. America's debt is not made up of lower tax rates & subsidies. America basically simply prints bank notes and sends them as aid to numerous countries, factions, churches, all around the world. These notes eventually end up being circulated around the world in oil purchases before reaching american shores for redemption. The debt gets created at that point. Even suggesting that tax cuts and subsidies create debt should be an alarm for the self to realise that the fingers are typing something ludicrous.

[@javiersilva1577]

@@orion7326Lowering taxes and having tax subsidies means the government has less tax dollars to pay for government spending. The less tax payer dollars the government has, the more the government has to borrow. So yes it directly contributes to debt. That’s not an opinion, that’s a fact.
