no one gives Russia credit for ww2 how many people died in that war is insane
the USSR has gotten their credit in recent decades, for ww2 history nerds a lot of the soviet documents got permitted and opened in about 2010s
Idk I just feel uneducated people on the topic leave out Russia and just think of Britain France and the US
Britain and France didn’t do shit in comparison
there was a really good documentary with rare footage and former soldiers on the Eastern Front from all sides; nazis, soviets, partisans, etc.
it was called War of the Century but youtube pulled it years a go sadly
i'll see if i can find it though
easily one of the best, if not the best documentary i ever seen
brilliantly put together
Dam why would they do that, must be so cool seeing it in video, pictures are one thing but a video damn
i think copyright
it was a professionally done one
OFC
and probably controversy
god damn copyright
i mean they say some crazy shit
it focuses on the Nazi vs Soviet story heavily, just a duel of two evil empries really in an ever violently downward spinning maelstrom
Was Us considered allies w Russia
Or more like I won’t fuck w u if you don’t
yes controversially so
it's a strange truth that though Russia is seen as our big rivals even today, we actually have never fought a war with Russia and in fact were allies
It’s crazy nothing came out of the Soviet Union
but of course at the end of WW2 and the nature of the defeat of Germany the Cold War began and this is where the US-Russian rivalry begins really
To this day it’s not the same as before
Now they are buddies w China
they were friends with China before after Mao took over China in the extraordinarily bloody Chinese Civil War
obviously one of communism's greatest victories, if not their greatest cosniderring China is still communist while the USSR fell
China scares me man
but China and Russia also had some border clashes and problems between eachother called the Sino-Soviet Split, though they a being neighbors are still somewhat close obviously
Did u study history
You know hella
sure lol anyone can, jsut read books lol
Facts
i didn't go to school for it if that's what you mean though
i do it for fun cause i'm a nerd
History in school they just force feed you a narrative
I’d rather study on my own
man i forget who i lent my Mao books too, damnit, those are hard a/f to find too, it took me years to track some down
Lol damn
well i mean history in school was oka, i went to a decent public school so their history classes were actualyl pretty good
