Estonian reacts to Cold War by Oversimplified

hello my friends my name is Arthur a and I am an Estonian youtuber today I got let out of the Army once again I haven't been out for two weeks I got let out for three days I'm in two days for the weekend and now I'm going to film everything here we go you are going to see in the next two weeks because I'm like working be I work all day for you guys to get your videos and also this week is going to be your favorite you know why because it's gonna be all oversimplified I know you guys love it and let me tell you also about the controversy that I will make money off these videos I actually don't these videos have advertisements because the oh the over simplified channels owner is I don't know who he is but he is claiming or my videos meaning that the ads will appear and the money goes to him so let it be said I don't make any money out of this all the money this ads gets goes to the maker of these over simplified videos so yeah you guys can feel good about that and I can feel good about that the conscience is clear but stay until the end of the video because I'm going to open this letter you know mail came some of the mail you came so during the next videos I am going to open them but right now we're going to devote ourselves to oversimplified Cold War part 1 let's go the year is 1917 fighting rages on the Eastern Front of the First World War both Germany and Russia are on the brink of collapse soldier I need you to bring me this man got it found him Sir none Lenin the Russian what why would I need a Beatle Lenin the Russian communists he was exiled to Switzerland you know what I'll do any was excited to Switzerland I didn't know that that you put myself company sent by Karl Marx who wants to start a revolution yeah I mean boo boo I'm just very excited this it's very bad of course bad for Estonia bad for the world communism [Music] the Germans put Lenin on a train and sent them all the way back to Russia hoping he and his mates would create an internal crisis and create an internal crisis they did the government was overthrown and Lenin was in charge he immediately pulled out of the first world war made the country communists started a three-year long civil war and Estonia got free during that time yeah yay for us got shot broke the economy paused a famine and then he died on his deathbed he said hey man tell whoever's in charge of giving people jobs not to let that jerk Stalin become the next leader by the way who did I put in charge of giving people jobs that would be Stalin sir Stalin was a writer from the Communist Party he still had some opponents but conveniently all of them were arrested or disappeared so that conveniently all of them were arrested or disappeared mmm coincidence I think not that was lucky and so Stalin took over he implemented his five-year plans which transformed the country from an agriculture-based economy to an industrial one and like let's so it destroyed a lot of culture and a lot of old traditions very bad and in before him he reigned with terror anyone who dared criticize or Estonia is right now very bad look at Finland they're not we need to be more like Finland free from it awesome would either be killed or left to rot in the horrendous Soviet work camps then a short man with a silly mister my grandfather was actually sent to one of those ruthless work camps not work camps he was deported to Siberia and he didn't have to work because he was 4 years old when he was deported which shows that they actually to ported children women alike didn't matter they just ethnically destroyed Estonians Soviet Union did that so as again Hitler was not the only one who did it but no one speaks about this that the portrait deportations of Estonia Latvia Lithuania because the Soviets helped to defeat Hitler - tried to take over the world punch the Russians all the way to Moscow and then the Russians with some help from their faithful Ally the winter punched him all the way back to Berlin at this point being allies America the UK and the Soviet Union were good chums they held a couple of conferences near the end of the war to decide what would happen neck hey Stalin after all your trials and tribulation you must be pretty happy to be standing here in Berlin Tsar Alexander made it all the way to Paris oh hey just give me a second hey men I think something's up with Stalin I know right what should we do shall I tell him about the bomb yeah tell him about the bomb will scare him so we got this crazy new big a bomb that can destroy an entire city in one go yes my spies told me already oh wait I'm intact surprised wow that's amazing he already knew how um am I sure I want to send a nuclear secrets via unsecure public coffee-shop Wi-Fi am I ever dude use a VPN does the a stand for atomic or ass in America drop their big a bomb on Japan and world war two officially came to an end I spoke out against the war with Japan in the previous videos of overs at the fight I said that Japan cannot be beaten with weapons you cannot destroy a system or a belief like that with weapons and you actually can't people argued with me that under a cadet they drop the a-bomb but why did they drop it because they couldn't win with weapons you couldn't actually kill the system with a machine gun or some because people were so brainwashed so their system of honor was unbreakable you had to use these a bombs to defeat it but unfortunately what happened later when America came in and forced it's capitalism on Japan is also equally as bad it's good in a way there's no more killing and war but it's bad that Japan's traditional culture basically died out and now it's all about making money which is not good and hooray we won okay so now it's time to establish the New World Order Stalin you're in charge of Eastern Europe now we want you to let them all hold elections oh yes of course elections and these elections will be free and fair right oh yes certainly free and fair definitely free and fair communist communist communist communist communist communist if that's not free and fair I don't know it is throughout Eastern Europe Soviet puppet governments were established as a buffer zone between the USSR and the West with Churchill proclaiming an Iron Curtain had descended across the continent the relationship between the old allies was deteriorating fast over the next few years the intervened in the Greek Civil War to prevent a communist takeover in Turkey the Russians began demanding more control of turkeys sea access routes which prompted the u.s. to send their largest battleship to Turkey for a friendly visit after World War two Iran was now occupied by both the Soviets and the British with an agreement to both pull out once the war was over the British pulled out Stalin was like you know what I think I might stick around all in favor of kicking Russia out of a ram you want to know something you guys suck pressure from the UN forced the Soviets to leave and with the establishment of NATO the Soviets had no doubt that the West was out to encircle and destroy them an America announced the Truman Doctrine in which they basically said those guys are not cool cannot be trusted and we will do everything we can to prevent the spread of communism around the world many view this moment as the official declaration of the Cold War back in Europe basically Cold War's two big regimes which are very horrible killing the third smaller countries with their fights you know they want to fight each other but they don't want to do it so they kind of go to smaller countries and kill the population there and just give their weapons and let them kill each other and let the big ones just watch and learn who won or who didn't win none of them won but the only one who suffered was the little guy then Estonia was one of those little guys everyone was living in a post-apocalyptic void brought on by the Second World War cities reduced to rubble not enough food it was terrible this is great the more they suffered the more likely it is they'll turn to communism dude you're really messed up what's wrong with you my father used to punish me severely America realized what was going on and quickly made a move under the Marshall Plan they sent 12 billion dollars to Western Europe for chicken oh yeah all the Americans have commented about this saying that owe us helped a lot they did they help us with finances and with money but it wasn't just help it was a debt a debt that you had to pay back he wasn't just hey let me help you it was just take my money I want it back later you know you owe me something now that's what it was a sphere of influence with money basically they didn't buy Europe out but they enlarged their sphere of influence influence through money like recovering the countries have Stalin's Eastern Bloc looked on with envy hey Czechoslovakia you want to come get some economic aid yeah but I have to check with my mom first Mama's fighting sorry America I can't come this was a full on economic battle raging between capitalism and communism in Europe if the Western nations developed faster and better than the East that would be a defeat for Stalin so he set up his own rival economic recovery plan which he called comic-con and he also set up Cominform which gave them but it's worth that the Western bloc and everything they developed good resources everyone was rich and you know basically they were fine they were living good but culture died out faster than ever it's weird it's so weird okay I'm not saying communism did something right about this but the fact that almost all of these countries it's talking about fear with you in your Poland they all had deficits of food and of things and because of that because of the lives were so dull and you know sad they got together they sang they danced and the culture thrived unfortunately it was you know couldn't be their own true culture because they were under Soviet occupation they had something to fight against they had the reason to come to it together you know it's a very weird phenomenon the more political control over the Eastern Bloc but nowhere did this economic battle rage harder than in the city of Berlin it caught over a hundred miles behind Soviet lines the city had been divided up between the Allies and the Western segments were still under Western control East Berliners could travel freely to West Berlin see the economic prosperity and think hmm maybe this communism thing ain't so great after all I'm gonna have fun tonight you're home late Oh Stalin I was just out with my friends friends you stink of capitalism you are engaging an imperialist debauchery again I swear Ivan I can't keep doing this Stalin wanted the West out so he said hey guess what I'm block getting all of your supply routes to West Berlin what are you gonna do about it I suppose we'll just fly the supplies in oh all right Truman you in this room the Berlin Airlift was an incredible undertaking and a major success for the Western Allies and Stalin ended his blockade of West Berlin his aggressive actions worried the West but not as much as this did the Soviet Union had developed their very own atomic bomb the USA no longer had a nuclear monopoly the world now knew that if a major war broke out between the two superpowers it would be more destructive than anyone could imagine so it was comforting when Stalin came out and said that war between the Soviet Union and the West was unlikely oh wait inevitable he said it was inevitable yeah I never will directly but still all of the other countries who were caught in between the crossfire suffered tremendously hey you know who I haven't checked in on in a while my good friend China well what happened to you what happened to them was a full-blown civil war that had been going on since 1927 the People's Liberation Army under the leadership of Mao Zedong successfully defeated the Republic of China who fled to Taiwan the now Communist China and the Soviet Union signed a mutual defense treaty this was terrible news for the West but wait there's more after the Second World War Korea was divided along the 38th parallel in the north the Soviets set up a communist regime in the South America set up an anti communist regime both were led by very sweet looking old men but don't let that deceive you they were both ruthless dictators both dreamed of reuniting Korea under their own regime now that he had the bomb Stalin was feeling a little more cocky and he finally gave Kim permission to attack the North launched a surprise invasion of the south on June 25th 1950 with Soviet aid the North Koreans steamrolled through taking Seoul in just three days and replacing one ruthless dictator with another the UN were freaking out and quickly created an emergency force made up of troops from 16 countries to defend the South the West still helped his son and made landings at Incheon near Seoul they pushed the North Koreans out of Seoul replacing the ruthless dictator that are replaced the first realistic hitter with the same ruthless dictator that are previously been replaced by the new ruthless dictator and the West then continued all the way up the Korean Peninsula at this point China was getting worried that the UN may just keep going the u.s. had sent this guy to lead the operation after winning the Pacific Theater of World War two General Douglas MacArthur's head was big and his balls were bigger assured President Truman that there absolutely no way at all that the Chinese would ever get involved meanwhile half a million Chinese troops were crossing into Korea newcomb no Nukem no ah come on you're fired the u.s. considered at least I'm glad to hear that they actually did not use the nuke again and they had enough brains to understand that it's not a weapon to use against humans against anything it's just not a thing to have but they had its fill they didn't use it that's a good thing the nuclear option but now that the Soviets also had the bomb they didn't want to risk all-out global destruction the Communists pushed the West right back almost to the exact same spot they it all started from and they ended up in a stalemate where they remained until both sides finally agreed to work towards the peace settlement in 2018 back in America Americans decided they wanted a new president who would be tough on communism so they elect a famed World War two General Eisenhower who is really hard to draw it's 1953 hey stone how you doing oh he's dead we had a cerebral hemorrhage and his reign of terror kinda came back oh yeah it's really funny it shows the true facts and true situation through humor in the Soviet Union with Stalin tightest 3:53 I suggest you watch it it's good comedy because he had imprisoned all his best doctors and those that were left were too terrified to treat him the new leader Nikita Khrushchev called a meeting and said hey guys you know how Stella was imprisoning and murdering herself for doing basically nothing yeah he was kind of a jerk I'm really not sure how this is news to you Khrushchev went on a campaign of desalinization statues of stone were taken only three years of education in the preschool he was quite easy to manipulate he actually went to America and was so amazed at oh it's so rich in good they basically grow corn everywhere we need to probe corn in Soviet Union also so he started growing corn everywhere force growing corn Estonians with the stony climate were forced to sew crow corn on their land it all it all died of course it was winter and it was tough climate the corn didn't survive and basically everyone starved but that was the order from Moscow so everyone did it and they all start condemned Stalingrad was renamed and Khrushchev announced that he wanted the Soviet people to be happy and would allow greater freedom in the Soviet Union so how did that work well an uprising in East Germany was brutally suppressed a revolution in Hungary was brutally suppressed and demonstrations in Poland were brutally suppressed although he did finally allow some mild reforms back in the Soviet Union he permitted more cultural expression but then began banning stuff based on his own personal taste modern art looks like a child urinated on canvas band jazz music sounds like the feeling of needing to fart band your poetry is really depressing how could anyone in the Soviet Union be depressed your band Khrushchev wanted the Soviet people to be happy but not like that or that or that young people began enjoying a boring Western pop culture stilyaga remove that disgusting imperialist apparel at once shut up dad you can't tell me what to do what would you look at that turns out he can tell me what to do the West hadn't hit me like the cut of Khrushchev's jib but world events soon soured relations even more the two sides were spying on each other a whole lot throughout the Cold War the KGB had spies and informants in nearly every aspect of Western life in government so much so that whenever the US tried to send spies into the Soviet Union the KGB were usually ready to arrest them on this spot members of the Manhattan Project aided the Soviet Union in acquiring the bomb some American officials believed they were on the wrong side I'll sell you three secrets for five million dollars okay go ahead the Allies are digging a tunnel under East Berlin to tap your communications there's an American agent living at this address in Moscow and sometimes when I'm home alone I like to put on my wife's dresses sit in the corner and cry for hours very interesting in America fear took hold during the Red Scare and the McCarthy trials American values imploded as fear of communism collided with freedom of thought and expression and communist kind of became a buzzword thrown around to describe anything people didn't like Hollywood communists your next-door neighbor's dog communist when the grocery store cashier asks if you need a bag when you clearly can't carry ten tons of bacon aids in your hands communist but one area in particular where the US had an edge over the Soviet Union was in its espionage technology in particular you to spy planes flew across Russia carrying out surveillance from the skies there was a nasty incident in 1961 when while we shut down and Khrushchev was furious who the hell is this he's up the high-altitude weather enthusiasts who flew of course ok that sounds plausible wait a minute what has he had done a poison needle because he's up very naughty high-altitude weather enthusiasts but much to America's concern the Soviet Union appeared to be ahead in the space race oh yeah the thing is like was actually ahead in space race they were winning they were winning a lot and they were hitting everything until the moon landings basically then they lost it up because they didn't have the money to carry on everyone freaked out when Russia launched the world's first satellite and then they actually sent a man into space even worse there also appeared to be a missile gap in the Soviets favor and Khrushchev was so confident that even allowed the u.s. to set up a technology exhibit in Moscow attended by a certain vice president Richard Nixon check this out we have color TV yes but we've been to space and can obliterate you with her massive nuclear arsenal check out this vegetable peeler contentions increased further when both sides upgraded their atomic bombs to hydrogen bombs and after West Germany was allowed to join NATO in 1955 Khrushchev set up the defense of Warsaw Pact strengthening the military ties between the Soviet Union and it's satellites States in 1960 Americans decided they wanted a new president who would be tough on communism so they elected John F Kennedy the Soviet Union was advancing its technology but it was also bleeding its coffers dry and all of the money was going towards the military not the people life under communism was still as hard as ever and Berlin this picture represents is really good there's a lot of buildings and this guy sitting when the communism was still as hard as ever and Berlin remained a thorn in the Soviet side the contrast between the economically prosperous West and the struggling East was clearer day by day and East Berliners were still able to freely travel to the west now many of them were deciding to stay there millions defected to West Germany via West Berlin causing vision factories to lose workers and taking a heavy toll on the economy Soviet leaders decided this couldn't continue any longer first Khrushchev tried this leave West Berlin or else or else what or else I'll be really mad at you yeah no we're gonna stay listen man West Berlin is ours East Berlin is yours that's just how it is Kennedy felt pretty good about a show of American result but wait a second did you catch that let's reply it he's like a cowboy Kennedy cowboy Oh Kennedy just told cruise shop that the USA wouldn't interfere in what the Soviets did with their section of Berlin so Khrushchev came up with a new idea we're gonna build a wall and it's gonna be a big beautiful wall and it's gonna keep out all the Mexicans oh sorry it's gonna keep in all the Mexicans on August 13th 1961 Berliners woke up to find their city divided into two with barbed wire and guards blocking the border between East and West over time a wall was constructed throughout the city families were torn apart thousands would risk their lives escaping over the wall and hundreds would die trying to the despair of Berliners the West were unable to do anything about it but the walls did put on full display the failure of the communist system as Kennedy said democracy is not perfect but we have never had to put a wall up to keep our people in as part of the agreement between the two sides US diplomats were still allowed to travel to East Berlin but suddenly East Berlin crossing guards started givin them the business and Kennedy was like nah in October the US world tanks up to the crossing point at Checkpoint Charlie as a show of strength the Soviets did the same and the two were in a standoff I guess this is the closest points that the big superpowers actually get to the wall pointing tanks at each other the closest point they'd like that for 16 hours and the world braced for nuclear Armageddon thankfully though Kennedy called Khrushchev directly and was like hey man this is getting way too hot how about you back your tanks up by an inch and we'll do the same sounds good ok how about you back your tanks up by another inch and we'll follow suit all right hey you want to do another inch and they both very silly inched away from the apocalypse whew let's hope that's this crisis of my presidency it wasn't oh there was a lot of spice in this one a lot of spice maybe like 60 years covered in such a short video whoo luckily there's a second part we're gonna definitely watch that one also the Cold War is a very present topic during the older generation I also was born in free Estonia 96 and I didn't live under the Cold War but comparin stated the whole Estonia did and everyone here still talks about it in America it's already forgotten I guess people don't really just even during the Cold War America's didn't suffer but a stone until obviously the whole Eastern Bloc did suffer the whole time during the Soviet Union so even nowadays memories grandmother's grandfathers mothers fathers they all talk about it it's very fresh even in my memory as I have never lived there so it goes with verbal culture it carries on but yeah enough about this topic now we're going to open this letter which is from Singapore damn this is far away I cannot
