In 1991 the Soviet Union ceased to exist. The Cold War ended. There was only one Superpower left in the world. China was still communist, but a hybrid kind of communism with a free market.
Whether the Soviet Union collapsed from corruption or a bad economy or the its war in Afghanistan, the Cold War ended when its fourteen member nations and satellite nations became self governing, many of them voting in democratic governments.
The new podcast on the Cold War by wondery ends at this moment in history. It's six episodes begin at the end of World War II and trace the history of the conflict that never happened. The perspective is inside America. It looks at the Cold War from the perspective of Americans going about their lives, which we all were before and after our service in the Cold War.
I loved the podcast. I hope you enjoy it too. Listen here or on iTunes.
