KA's US History fellow Kim Kutz and Grammar fellow David Rheinstrom discuss the atmosphere in Europe after World War II that led to the start of the Cold War.

[@trantrungnam612]

This is more like a discussion than an educational video. However, they still point out some interesting facts and points of view. Keep it up.

[@FidaAifiya]

At this point I realize I must have really love Sal's voice.

[@mustafaal-khalili8026]

i feel bad for the amount of times she had to fake laugh

[@chelsynzara8435]

I actually like how it comes as a discussion . I could really remember all this

[@AmieAnderson-rw9lm]

My grandfather fought in this was when he was younger, he will most of the time tell me stories when I'm round, I will always remember that he was apart of this❤

[@mixup2216]

why do they have to pretend to have a discussion why cant they just explain it. im sure they both know this already. i came here for a social studies assingment not to listen to a podcast.

[@emeliaaaaa7208]

Same! We have to do an assignment and he only gave us this video! We have to use a bunch of words that weren’t even mentioned in this video!😣

[@infamousbvz1589]

@@emeliaaaaa7208 look it up?

[@manofdestiny7873]

Just rambling around while it could ve been explained in just under 5 minute!!

[@docgalen]

I feel I learn more when Sal speaks.

[@ChiragSonne]

😆😅

[@marcella327]

There's way too much rambling. I feel like if there was only one person behind the mic, this video could be a lot shorter..

[@EvelcyclopS]

So much waffling here. About 1 minutes information in this.

[@romanvos7221]

you watch marley

[@NeroPiroman]

i love how you didnt mention how usa put dictators in power in 3rd world copuntries just so they dont fall to comunism.you portray ussr as villains and usa as heroes even though its never that black and white

[@richardrmwd]

and yet sometimes somethings are. like communism being evil, free market capitalism being good. Count the blessings bestowed upon you by people who made imperfect and good decisions so that you can be free to be a moral relativist.

[@NeroPiroman]

richardrmwd i live in a former yugoslavian country which was the best comunist country of all times there wasnt opresion everyone had a job and a place to live travel was free,.. so any type off govermant can be good as long as the leader is good

[@TheRealSkyTheCookie]

+Bosniantoptens Truth, Although i usually think even though im in the USA that the USA probably is the bad guy, Although i understand both sides

[@NeroPiroman]

Panda Bear Senpai especialy nowdays day justifie wars in muslim countries for oil which killed 2 milion people because of the death of 3000

[@TheRealSkyTheCookie]

Bosniantoptens i mean, isis deserves death i know that much and some of hamas

[@uicosole]

Sure. Sure. Sure. Sure. Okay. Sure. Sure. Okay.

[@samlelacheur3019]

Question- at 6:00 how can you say the war was mainly fought in the circled area (Spain, France, Italy, 1/2 of Germany) when that is blatantly untrue?

[@AnkurRathiMotivation]

thank you

[@bnew241]

One, I like history. Two, I like Salman Kahn. I'm not certain about the order though.

[@TheWolfgangGrimmer]

Best mention the Non-Aligned Movement and China's break-off at some point. Too often do people forget that most of the conflicts in hour history were in fact multi-sided...

[@Racheal700]

Knew there had to be one know it all in the comments.

[@christiansmith-of7dt]

To be an effective leader you need to tell the people why it hurts

[@rayaniqbal9127]

hmm, I feel like Kim doesn't like David

[@Launders-]

Round 2?

[@samistrawberry1]

Would you be continuing with the cold war videos?

[@junglee2185]

Usually I like Khan videos but this one has too much babble.

[@ghnfyhj]

Thank you. Exactly

[@jackbuenau4175]

I have a assignment in social studies saying to list 5 major causes of the cold war based off the information in this video and I have finished the video and have heard none. very dissapointed in khan acadamy for this vieo. could somebody please help me out.

[@ChiragSonne]

Where is Sal Khan owner of Khan Academy!

[@pokolba9]

Ayy... Those "jokes"...

[@Emily-tt4lc]

Drop the answers 😔

[@anonxpe5652]

cool

[@alexrazin777]

Watch this at half speed

[@danieln.1034]

Educational yet accompanied with the worst mic evet

[@slanted-rcdriftingsa166]

I am a bit disappointed by the quality of the material offered here. Khan Academy does Math excellently, but History.. I'm not a fan. Sounds like a lot of flirting recorded with a little bit of information and badly timed jokes stuffed in the gaps. I wouldn't give it a thumbs down, but it doesn't deserve the opposite either. Stick to the subject and keep the "mind map" clear and concise. Dotting down a bunch of keywords does not help anybody at all. Please remove this video, put some thought into it and re-upload. Thank you for your efforts, but surely and hopefully this can be improved.

[@sktrpozer9765]

Vahsti Jarillo-Villa Eh it’s true, this was a very badly made video. It’s better whenever Sal is by himself doing the work since he gives you the actual important information and not random keywords here and there

[@aviation1776]

Not a fan, didn't like the analogies, feels like this could have been done better.

[@6rackzz]

more facts less zoning out

[@LegoWarFims]

The USSR built in the 1900s and fell in 1991

[@Cythil]

+LegoWarFilms Well to be more precise the USSR was create in 1922 and lasted to 1991. Of course is origins is traced back further. Though the Bolsheviks did not start to take over until 1917 at the tail end of World War I. (long bitter righting in WWI had lead to people being pretty feed up with the Tzar. Reforms where implemented a bit to late and the Bolsheviks exploited the turmoil at the time.)

[@chezmemzkage7128]

yip and yap cant compare to these two. do some history lessons on the french leader yapoleon

[@aviisgoated6178]

Barely anyone watches Khan Academy. I guess people aren't interested in learning. :/

[@TheEmoSyndicate]

i fell to the same fate but i dont have 3.3 million subs more than likely its a one topic then they kinda forgot about it. they do some good stuff, this isnt there best sounds like they are teaching 5 year olds but a nice change of pace.

[@marcella327]

Or the only reason we watch it is because its assigned for classes...

[@theheadlessjackfrost679]

That Hot War joke in the beginning was bad.

[@siti1ca]

chaka chaka chaka Khan academy

[@prakharkipathshala3769]

The Indian map you are showing is wrong, kindly correct this. 🙏

[@randolphsonone]

Vietnam was a proxy war of the cold war/ as was Korea....

[@waldolifeart]

vietnam was not a proxy war, as the US was directly involved in it

[@sandykl]

Sorry the script is just soooo bad. Even the jokes are scripted... ugh, sorry. Did not like this dialogue at all.

[@grodio9672]

Less yappin more talking

[@marathesayu]

Let's start off with how WRONG you are. (I'm in no way saying either of them is better than the other, I'm just saying that this analogy is just stupid.) Stalin was/is not "Hitler Part II". Sure, Stalin killed people and so did Hitler, both of them had concentration camps; is that the only ground you're basing your argument on? Hitler was a racist and fascist dictator while Stalin was a Communist dictator (although not entirely, his views of Communism were very different) and had chronic paranoia. Hitler's entire dictatorship was based on making Germany "racially pure" which meant he killed any biological outsiders which posed a threat to the pure Germans. Stalin's dictatorship was entirely based on spreading Communism and extending his territory. Not only did the two differ in ideologies, they were also different in personal natures. Hitler condemned alcohol and drugs and Stalin was a heavy alcohol addict. Hitler was brave enough to declare war on the USA while Stalin was a coward who would've never declared a war on the USA because he knew he wouldn't win, so in that regard, Stalin was more clever. In fact, if you've read the stuff Russia published after the disintegration, you will realise how unbothered Stalin was about the USA. Anyway, Hitler started World War II and killed so many civilians in the process, and honestly, nobody can tell who was worse than whom, maybe you should research your facts before you make history videos. Also, please change your videos' format; it's not fun to hear two adults sound indecisive and it's definitely not fun when they ask random questions right in the middle and keep sounding extremely confused all the time. PLEASE MAKE BETTER VIDEOS.

[@frugalmamas838]

I'm sorry you lost at the point where you go on an on about how alike they are but they're not the same.

[@antarasatchidanand5820]

What they are is how Stalin took over land not how he was as a person or his governmening style the video was great calm down

[@collinpayant7963]

bro is trying way too hard 💀

[@rishirajbalhara]

i want you.. to correct the INDIAN Map.. in & around J&K region..

[@WARKADVNG]

you must live in an alternate reality where indians are daalkhor streetshitters. that must be interesting.

[@praveenkumard6173]

not interesting at all...she's is actually not teaching but preparing herself with him...verry slow and boring

[@BeYourself24x7]

thank you

[@lilkookie7306]
