War Documentary hosted by Robert Polo, published by AHC in 2016 - English narration



Information
------------------------------

Following WWII the world faces annihilation again. Decades of tension fueled by a nuclear arms race between global super powers, determined to reshape the world in their own image. Cold War: Armageddon brings the conflict dramatically back to life.
The Cold War: When nuclear weapons kept the entire world on the edge of M.A.D. - Mutually Assured Destruction, as political and military tensions simmered among global super powers. With great change on the horizon, the world watched as Russia, China and the USA flex their military muscles on the global stage. "M.A.D. World: Cold War Armageddon" takes a close look at the last time we were threatened by the might of world superpowers: The Cold War, when each one of them was determined to reshape the world in their own image.
For over forty years the entire world stood on the brink of annihilation, as the horrors of World War 2 ended and a new kind of global war began. When the push of a single button could trigger all out nuclear war, "M.A.D. World: Cold War Armageddon" examines how the world was changed forever by the Cold War. Over eight episodes, remarkable footage from the time shows how the build up of nuclear arms and the mistrust between West and East instilled terror across the globe. First hand accounts bring the stories to life as we talk to pilots drilled to drop the bomb, families torn apart by the Iron Curtain and escaped dissidents who lived in fear of torture and execution.
When the push of a single button could trigger mass destruction, "M.A.D. World: Cold War Armageddon" examines how the world was changed forever in one of the greatest power struggles in history. We look at wars being fought now, and potential flashpoints in the light of lessons learnt from the Cold War.

1)  Rise of the Superpowers
For four decades two global superpowers face off, poised for swift and terrible action, threatening to annihilate one another, with the push of a button. It is an arms race, a propaganda battle - and at times, a deadly game. It is the Cold War.
After the atomic bombs were dropped on Japan, two superpowers emerge from World War II, each with differing ideologies and increasing hostility. The USSR imposed dictatorial rule systems on many peoples in Eastern Europe. The tension between communism and capitalism increases due to ideologically motivated civil wars in Greece and China. Will the US use the atomic bomb again?
