Zero Hour - Origins of THE COLD WAR

The origins of the Cold War can be traced back to World War 1 and World War 2. In the final months of World War 2, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Winston Churchill and Joseph Stalin already started to work on a post-war order for the world. Paranoia and intrigue already laid the foundation for The Cold War. For the next 40 years a struggle would hold on, to pursue a policy of deténte while constantly weighing out the balance of terror. Indy tells you everything about the beginnings of the Cold War on IT'S HISTORY. » ALL VIDEOS on the Cold War: http://bit.ly/ColdWarPlaylist » THE GREAT WAR: http://bit.ly/GallipoliLandings » JOIN OUR COMMUNITY FOR MORE HISTORY KNOWLEDGE!
