Northern Eurasia 64 years ago today: Warsaw Pact (21 Sep 1955) https://buff.ly/32WVgjK After the death of Stalin in 1953, a thaw in relations between East and West allowed for the end of the occupations of Germany and Austria. However when West Germany was accepted into NATO, the Soviets retaliated by forming their own alliance: the Warsaw Pact. #northerneurasia #sovietunion #ussr #coldwar #historynerd #poland #warsawpact #maps #czechoslovakia #1950s #nato #20thcentury #historyteacher #bulgaria #mapa #historygeek #russianhistory #september21 #1955 #worldhistory #geopolitics #westgermany #eastgermany #historia #modernhistory #september #history #todayinhistory #historytoday #thisdayinhistory (at Warsaw, Poland) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2qsfdqgukA/?igshid=17ad9fkw9zs3i

Europe 56 years ago today: Berlin Wall (26 Jun 1963) https://buff.ly/2LhWEaN The coming of the 1960s saw the Cold War heating up, fueled by advances in missile technology. In 1961, another crisis hit Berlin when the communist East German government built a wall to stop its citizens fleeing to the west. The Berlin Wall would keep Germans divided for 28 years. #europe #history #welovehistory #map #1960s #20thcentury #modernhistory #1963 #westberlin #eastberlin #coldwar #eastgermany #berlinwall #europeanhistory #germanhistory #june #june26 #nato #warsawpact #ussr #sovietunion #westgermany #maps #todayinhistory #historytoday #historyteacher #historybuff #historygeek #historynerd #geopolitics (at Berlin, Germany) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzKnkhUAliD/?igshid=dwtwq7e6uw7j

Europe 29 years ago today: Fall of the Berlin Wall (10 Nov 1989) https://buff.ly/2RKe1Bk By the 1980s, the Eastern Bloc had begun to fall dangerously behind the West both economically and technologically. To address these issues, Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev introduced economic reforms and opened up Soviet politics. He also sought better relations with the West by declaring an end to Soviet meddling in Eastern Europe. The result was the peaceful dismantling of Communism in Poland and Hungary. East Germany followed suit a few months later, with demonstrators tearing down the hated Berlin Wall. #europe #history #welovemaps #map #1980s #1989 #coldwar #gorbachev #berlinwall #westberlin #eastgermany #europeanhistory #germanhistory #eastberlin #nato #november #november10 #warsawpact #sovietunion #ussr #glasnost #perestroika #maps #todayinhistory #historytoday #historyteacher #historybuff #historygeek #historynerd #polishhistory (at Berlin, Germany) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp_bnJ8Aprv/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=3fm0wytqx3ta

Northern Eurasia 29 years ago today: Glasnost (23 Dec 1989) https://buff.ly/2CvHave By the late 1980s, the Soviet Union was surrounded by hostile states, while having to cope with economic woes, discontent in Poland, and a high tech arms race with the United States. Mikhail Gorbachev, the new Soviet leader, responded with huge political and economic reforms. In 1989, he allowed elections and revolutions to overthrow the communist regimes in eastern Europe. #northerneurasia #history #welovemaps #map #1980s #1989 #afghanwar #warsawpact #berlinwall #coldwar #december #december23 #eastgermany #westgermany #glasnost #gorbachev #mikhailgorbachev #sovietunion #russianhistory #maps #ussr #todayinhistory #historytoday #historyteacher #historybuff #worldhistory #historygeek #historynerd #armsrace #perestroika (at Moscow, Russia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BruCNREg9bb/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=olkgqii1ibbt

Russia 27 years ago today: End of the Warsaw Pact (25 Feb 1991) http://omniatlas.com/maps/russia/19910225/ The collapse of communism in eastern Europe weakened the Warsaw Pact, which had mostly functioned as a tool for maintaining Soviet hegemony. East Germany was the first to leave when it united with West Germany in 1990, effectively joining NATO. The following year, Poland and Czechoslovakia fought alongside NATO members to liberate Kuwait from an Iraqi invasion. By now the Pact had lost all purpose and it was declared disbanded in February. #russia #history #welovemaps #1990s #1991 #bulgaria #coldwar #czechia #czechoslovakia #february #february25 #germany #hungary #iraq #kuwait #lithuania #maps #poland #romania #russia #russianhistory #saudiarabia #unitedstates #ussr #worldhistory #map #warsawpact (at Warsaw, Poland)
