Ironically enough Egypt and Saudi Arabia are also involved in today's Civil war but on the same side.

“Bender and Blackjack. “ Any Futurama reference does not go unappreciated👍

There is a risk of paternalistically denying the agency of small states and non-state actors when dealing with the Super Powers in this period. Yes, the Americans and the Soviets manipulated such actors into proxy conflicts. However, such actors also manipulated the Super Powers into supporting them in conflicts that really had nothing to do with the Super Powers' ideological struggle. One side in a pre-existing power struggle would go to Moscow and assure them they were good Communists, and their enemies dastardly Capitalists. Meanwhile the other side would go to Washington and make similar claims, only with the adjectives reversed. Pretty soon American and Soviet Arms would be flowing in, free of charge, along with KGB and CIA operatives, aid packages, and all the rest of the Cold War classics. All for a war that had more to do with whose goat was stolen 600 years ago than it did economic theories, and where neither side wanted to implement a purely Marxist or purely Capitalist system if they won. Egypt was particularly good at this kind of manipulation, managing to get aid from both sides without ever committing to either camp. None of which is meant to defend Imperialism or Colonialism, as it was practiced by east or west. But in condemning it, let's not treat its victims like they were children. They were adults, and they were sometimes capable of pulling one over on the Super Powers, especially with the Super Powers rushing blindly into regions of the world they knew nothing about.

The stamp collector tangent is wild

Both North Yemen and South Yemen went through many civil wars during the Cold War. And now Yemen is still in civil war today

Talks about British mercenaries but shows British soldiers in action (looks like the Kings Own Scottish Borderers or the Argyle and Sutherland Highlanders at work in Aden).

That story of Bruce Chalmers is another entry in the endless list of historical events that would be criticized and panned for being overly outrageous and hair brained if it were made into a movie!!

تقرير جميل أهنئك من اليمن

We always appreciate your hard work and dedication towards these videos.❤

I consider myself an amateur expert on history, but all this was completely new to me, thanks

It was an informative and wonderful historical coverage video about Yamin political issues during the Cold War 🥶 years...what a complication situation was... Even Yugoslavian military efforts 😮 participated besides Egypt 🇪🇬 military existence there against royalist rebellious... Thank you for the( Cold War) channel for sharing this magnificent video

So underrated! Thank you for covering this!

Much awaited, much appreciated looking forward to excellent insights as always from you.

Excellent episode!

I think if the Yemeni princely states survived (for example the Sultanate of Lahej) and the Mutawakkilite Kingdom managed to unite the country and keep it stable all of Yemen’s 20th and 21st century chaos would have been avoided.

Really interesting material. Thank you very much

thx for make this content for us ! =)

What an interesting video, i knew very little about this topic. Keep up the great work!

Thank you for this Video. I knew nothing about this

History doesn't repeat itself, but Yemen is like a skipping record.

Very interesting.

Fascinating. A complex subject that isn't often discussed. Thanks a lot

Hi. Could you cover the origins of the Essequibo dispute between Venezuela and Guyana? I'm sure it must have played some role during the Cold War. Thanks!!

I love history and I need to improve my English. Your channel is a gem to me, delicious.

That stamp guy sure was an absolute gigachad

Ooh...I didn't know about this one...

❤. I love middle eastern history ❤

What that a Sundowner quote at 11:37 ?

what aboudt the dhfar region of oman.

That marriage between Bruce and the Ukrainian princess...sounds like a match made to be... :D

It’s somewhat nice to see nasser fail badly. But luckily the United Nations, was and is around to make sure Yemen dosnt fall apart! I’m sure everything will turn out good….right…??? *present day: uh…where’s the UN??”

👍👍

Will this channel ever cover the Yemeni Communists?

Can you do a feature episode about the Philippines under Ferdinand E. Marcos from 1965 to 1986 and under Martial Law from 1972 to 1986

🇺🇸

CE? I'm not watching any more of your videos.

Chemical weapons was used in this civil war

Somebody say ‘hookers and blow’? Seems to be a theme from the last couple days.

Ukraine had a kingdom? That’s wild

That was very informative but your pronunciation of the arabic names is hilarious 😂😂

The fatal mistake of my beloved Preisdent Gamal AbdelNasser, Egypt involving directly in this war, instead of Nasser using diplomacy and not taking a side, lead to the weakning of our army, which contributed to the heavy loss in the 6 days war in 1967

Does it hurt anoyone else's brain that North Yemen is south of South Yemen?

If the Houthis hurt their income from the Suez Canal then Egypt might be back…

Israel's capital and seat of government is Jerusalem, sir.

American is in there today
