    The Cold War is a fascinating and complex period in our history. It's a huge chunk of time filled with tense politics, proxy wars, alliances, and a constant fear of war. It's an interesting subject to explore, and OverSimplified does a spectacular job of tackling such a massive topic. OverSimplified's videos are always entertaining and educational, with plenty of humor and engaging imagery. This particular video goes into the background of the Cold War and tackles the various key events and the complex situation between the US and USSR.

    Fun fact about the Berlin Wall: there was a man who tricked the Soviet border guards every day and they never noticed. This man was a smuggler and every single day when he would ride his bike across the border he would have a bag filled with sand that he knew the guards would inspect. The guards would in fact inspect the suspicious bag but upon realizing the bag was filled with sand, they let him cross the border, never knowing that he was actually smuggling bicycles.
