Both sides would stockpile nuclear weapons, with questions over how to use, control and eliminate them becoming central to the conflict. The conflict would come to an end when Gorbachev’s reforms, Glasnost and Perestroika began to unravel the Soviet Union itself.
Reformers began to emerge across Eastern Europe, and in 1989 a string of democratic revolutions would see nearly every communist government ousted from power. On November 9th, the most symbolic monument of the Cold War, the Berlin Wall, would come down, and Germany itself would be reunited the following year. The Soviet Union would collapse in 1991, dissolving into 15 independent states, a surprisingly quick and bloodless conclusion to the Cold War, a conflict which had dominated international relations for over 40 years.

That’s cool and all... but have you heard the story of Alex Mason and Frank Woods?
-
“Nothing personal kid”
-
Can we just acknowledge that one guy basically saved the world from nuclear warfare?
-
Hey guys stop messing around in the comments section... we have a job to do.

This video is highly inaccurate. It doesn’t even mentioned Perseus and Adler who were big players in the Cold War
-
Call of duty Cold War was so popular they made it a real thing 😱😱
-
Hold up, I never knew, nor would I ever have imagined that we were one man's word away from the destruction of humanity. Oml

Black ops cold war comes out tomorrow did he plan this?
-
For a 15 minute summary of an almost-50-year era in history, this was pretty good. Gave enough detail to (hopefully) give everybody a general understanding of the Cold War without taking a lot of time with other details. I will say, though, that I wish the Space Race had gotten a mention. Otherwise, an exceptional video.
-
2/3 agreed to launch a Nuke. That is way too close if this planet plans on surviving. Scary.
-
Who’s here after Black Ops came out?
-
Today's youth: "This told me nothing valuable..... .......Goes to play call of duty cold war "Ah yes Perseus I understand now"
-
Cuba: We can’t rely on other countries for our economy Also Cuba: oh hey russia
-
Damn not even a mention of Bell and adler
-
One Russian sub commander prevented a nuclear holocaust. Wow. Why is he not talked about more?
