I’d love a video on “Mongolia” I feel like it’s an forgotten place within the Soviet sphere that nobody talks about. Love the video!

[@jimwalshonline9346]

Greenhouse George, not a thermonuclear device but a major step toward one, tested that year.

To David and the entire Cold War crew, can you please make these following videos: - Argentina during the rule of Juan Peron - Thailand's on-and-off military governments and lese-majeste laws - Gastarbeiters (foreign guest workers) in both West and East Germany Thank you very much and please accept my requests.

[@minera7595]

I'm with this! My home country (Thailand) is not mentioned much in the context of the cold war, Maybe aside from the fact that US planes used airbases in our country back in Vietnam war, and our participation in the event of Third Indochina war.

[@pablonicolasangulo4356]

I do not understand what are they waiting to make the Juan Peron Episode.... The only defect of this channel is that Argentina is almost not mentioned at all. Come on, David, make it happen.

[@caseclosed9342]

My dad works for Unisys, the successor of Univac. He’s worked for them for 40+ years. When I was a kid, I got to visit his office where they had a replica of the Univac 1 control panel on display. Never thought I’d be reminded of it watching this!

[@tomnaughton]

Unisys is the most metal name for an IT company

[@JamesLee-mp8hk]

You perfectly summed up my experience with Catcher in the Rye. Read it at fourteen and loved it. Reread it at thirty and hated Holden Caulfield.

[@Fire_Score_Maximum]

Once we get to 1953, you should briefly mention the first adaptation of 1984 on CBS. While for 1954, the original Godzilla film being released in Japanese theaters, the CBS adaptation of James Bond Casino Royale, and the BBC adaptation of 1984.

[@ststclair]

I very much liked this format. Your other videos are obviously great, but this was a nice format as well.

[@demiller74]

I love it when the Rough Riders play the Rough Riders for the Grey Cup. Seriously I miss the Rough Riders as much as I miss the Houston Oilers.

[@richardkammerer2814]

I remember the Houston Oilers winning the AFL championship in 1960 and 1961. It’s great to see Houston with a good pro team again

[@michaelporzio7384]

I can imagine US soldiers relieved to hear that they are not going to Korea .... instead they are going to get nuked in the Nevada desert! Excellent review of "The Catcher in the Rye" ... someone had to say it! Well done David and team!

[@Hongaars1969]

I’ve recently overlooked watching your weekly uploads. (Christmas madness..) thank you for your ongoing series on all aspects of the Cold War.

[@jedisith85]

Thank you! I've been waiting for this.

[@raptor797]

you haven't truly experienced Skyrim until you've played it in its original UNIVAC 1

[@mtranchi]

I'm the guy who asked you to do a vid on Star Trek, the original series, and thank you for doing that whether it was me or not that prompted your vid. I do think you got it wrong about the Romulans as i previously mentioned in a comment, but... you're a youngish historian, not a cold-war soldier like me who actually served at the Fulda Gap in the '80's and who is also a bit of a nerd in that i'm a total Trekkie... Trekie? Not even sure how to spell the name of the cult(?), but i for sure watched every episode more times, many more times than i would admit on a first date, lol. anyway, i wonder if you'd do a vid on this new-fangled series "The Orville". i know it's out of your wheelhouse as the series is from the 2010's, but perhaps akin to how the series "Modern Marvels" ended up running out of material and ended up doing cool sh*t from the past, perhaps you could expand your range a bit and start focusing your and your excellent team's intellect on current day affairs with the wisdom of knowing the cold war down pat. who are the Moclans? Obviously the Kaylons are the coming of AI. What about the Krill, who do they represent? i would love to hear your opinion on the show, what you and your excellent team think. as an aside, regardless of your choice, and i know you guys/gals are all about high-level aspects of the cold war, yet i could give you introspective into one man's moment of serving in Blackhorse at the Fulda Gap. most of it is bad-ass GI stuff... and... how the dumbest guy in your troop might be the guy who saves your life, so don't disrespect any team member... but i might have a story or two from serving on the most likely avenue of approach had the Soviets rolled into western europe that you may find of value to put in a vid. at your service gentlemen and ladies should you desire to engage me. the one thing i will ask is that i can record any interactions between us in case your editing team disagrees with actual context of anything i say. I apologize to you and your excellent team, but in fairness, it seems we live in a world where 36% of us are propagandized while the rest of us live in reality. i've got some stories hoss, like that time i started chucking empty german beer bottles (german beer bottles are heavy, can knock a man out without even breaking) across the border (as me and my crew drained them into our gullets), or that time one of our TC's (tank commanders) couldn't get a good enough read from the tools in the observation tower, so headed down to his tank, swung the turret around so he could get a better view with it's low-light vision system but... was... in the process, pointing a gorramn gun at targets on the east german side. we were all taught--it was drilled into our heads--DON'T START A BORDER INCIDENT. We were trained to not even make eye contact with the east germans lest us cocky bastards eye-balled 'em too hard and, you know, the eyeball-ee was thin skinned and unstable so decided to use his weapon to take out the eye-baller. pointing the f'ing barrel of an M1 Abrams across the border??? At targets???? fun times... fun times... :) love your channel, keep up the good work!

[@fordisfurious]

Love this channel. Eager for more content in the future.

[@DavidKutzler]

You forgot to mention that I was born in 1951. I thought we were friends.🤨

[@bobtaylor170]

Yeah, and I was conceived in 1951!! ( Two drearily typical bratty Boomers. )

[@eddiecarpenter4588]

Holy crap bro, that was a lot! How many takes?

[@michaelmcclelland7075]

Great video! I love these learning experiences. Is there a video on Burma?

[@gregthompson3274]

1951 also saw the signing of the ANZUS treaty between Australia, New Zealand and the United States. It remains to this day,Australia's major security guarantee

[@anno-fw7xn]

great Video and realy intersting, i hope you Keep it at a series to untiel the year 2000, Keep it up!

[@tombriggs7765]

Really enjoyed this video style. I would love to see more summaries of years like this during the cold war

[@frankchan4272]

You said New York Yankee’s vs Giants but the poster shows Dodgers. I checked it was New York Yankees against the New York Giants so your poster graphic is incorrect.

[@jimtuite3451]

'Come on you Spurs' Haha, I'm subscribing for that comment alone 😅

[@TheColdWarTV]

Football clubs are for life...fleeting moments of hope and glory and years of disappointment and frustration. Wouldn't have it any other way.

[@deanbuss1678]

David, maybe you could have an episode explaining the stuff on the TV in the background.

[@tristonvisser]

Thanks for the great video, could you please put the What Happened videos in a playlist to make it easier to access in a timeline

[@fluffypants]

Good

[@straddlecakes]

Every once and awhile I come across some Cold War history I’d never heard of before. I just bought Twilight Struggle and came across the correspondence between Samantha Smith and Yuri Andropov. Maybe you’ve made mention in another video but if not, will you all do a video on that interesting piece of history?

[@TheColdWarTV]

We haven't done anything on her as of yet. It's an interesting event and I think shows that Andropov, paranoia and all, was interested in peace

[@mohammedsaysrashid3587]

Nice introduces

[@Cutondogor]

I adore your signoffs. So - is it time for a video on the Cuban Missile Crisis? Alternatively, I'd love to hear about the various Russian (and British and American) methods of enticing people to spy for them.

[@dr.victorvs]

It should be said, Asch's study (and other similar social coertion studies) are controversial today because essentially they didn't report all the times they conducted their studies and didn't get the result they published (a phenomenon known as publication bias).

[@karlbrundage7472]

Was going to comment that "scientific rigor" didn't really apply to non "science" studies during this period. These researchers basically wrote their own rules concerning test subjects, external parameters, safety limits, control groups and findings definitions. Essentially: We're going to mash a bunch of kids from college into an experiment that neither they.... nor we... understand or have control over in the hope that, through the chaos our experiment leads to, we will be able to identify and record some useful data that will make everyone elses' lives better.... at some point............ somehow

[@zohaidhasham4700]

Hello please do consider a video on the Zanzibar Revolution of 1964 The Unification of Zanzibar and Tanganyika and the role of Tanzania during decolonization process of Southern Africa and its war with idi amin in 1979

[@yardleybottles6025]

Interesting video! Some of the comments seem unrelsted though

[@rx7carl]

The baseball world series was Yankees over the Giants, your poster showed the Brooklyn Dodgers. What you missed was in the national league pennant series was Bobby Thompsons dramatic shot heard round the world to give the Giants the pennant victory over the Dodgers. Epic moment in baseball history. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aYWTlaWebc5nitksi=4MGP7SoFZTi3GpCc

[@endymionselene165]

Will you ever talk about The Korean Train Theft by the Seabees.

[@ShannonWare]

On some meta level, how Truman handled MacArthur is the analogue to how Putin handled Pregozhin. Justinian had no need to handle Belisarius at all :0)

[@stuffedninja1337]

Ooo, I’m looking forward to more of these. Also, I’m not stanning The Catcher In The Rye, but he’s a teenager! Of course he’s a whiny little turd!

[@srhtamim2554]

You can make a video about 1971 Bangladesh liberation war and indo pak war in 1971 it is kinda related to cold war topics

Not the subtitles spelling Toronto as Trono 😉🤣

Do you have a BETTER way of spelling it??

@@TheColdWarTV its certainly a topic of conversation between myself and my Canadian cousins that's for sure 😆

@@TheColdWarTV anyway, I do weep slightly at the fact the Leafs haven't won a Stanley Cup in my lifetime 😒...doubt they'll even find one at Target at the moment 😆

Can you do the football war next? That 4 day fight shaoed Central America in many ways

[@skipwest291]

There was only one thing that happened in 51, which is really important. My mother got pregnant, and nine months later I was born in August.

[@karlbrundage7472]

Hoping you make it to at least 2051......................

[@jesseberg3271]

If you came back to Catcher in the Rye as an adult and suddenly found Holden Caulfield to be a whinny, self-centered, and generally unpleasant protagonist, how had you found him as a teen? Because that's exactly what I thought about him when I was a teenager. What other way is there to view him?

[@kellyrobinson8157]

Thankfully there is only one rough riders now

👍👍

[@oldesertguy9616]

The mention of U.S. and French troops fighting together in Korea makes me realize that I didn't know France even had troops there.

[@lipingrahman6648]

Catcher in the Rye is probably the least impressive book I’ve ever been forced to read. The reading lists in schools leaves much to be desired.

It's impossible for *every* year to have more than its faire share of events.

To be fair, John Lennon kinda was a phony. 🤷‍♂️

[@bobtaylor170]

Lennon, to be fair to him, admitted in the late 1970s that his peacenik phase had been primarily about keeping himself a player. People who knew him have said he was quite taken with Reagan, and if he had been American, would have voted for him.

Does that mean American blacks should pay reparations to the families of all of the American whites who had nothing whatever to do with slavery, but have been m*rd*r*d by blacks in the last sixty years?
