The Soviet Union, officially known as the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), was a federal socialist state in Eurasia that existed from 1922 to 1991. The Soviet Union was composed of 15 republics, including Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan, and others. If the Soviet Union reunited, it would be a significant event in world history, with major implications for the world's politics, economy, military, and people. History: The Soviet Union was created in 1922 after the Russian Revolution and the subsequent civil war. It was one of the two superpowers during the Cold War, along with the United States. The Soviet Union played a crucial role in World War II, which resulted in significant casualties and the loss of vast territories in Eastern Europe. After the war, the Soviet Union continued to expand its influence in other countries, particularly in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Geography: If the Soviet Union reunited, it would cover a vast territory, spanning over 22 million square kilometers. It would encompass much of Eastern Europe, Central Asia, and parts of the Middle East. The former Soviet republics would need to navigate the challenges of joining together and overcoming cultural, linguistic, and territorial differences. People: The Soviet Union had a diverse population of over 293 million people, including Russians, Ukrainians, Belarusians, Kazakhs, and others. If the Soviet Union reunited, the people of the former Soviet republics would need to adjust to a new political system, and there could be significant cultural and social changes. Economy: The Soviet Union's economy was based on central planning, with the government controlling most industries and resources. The Soviet Union's economy was inefficient and suffered from chronic shortages and poor quality goods. If the Soviet Union reunited, the new government would need to find a way to modernize the economy and integrate it into the global economy. Military: The Soviet Union had one of the world's most extensive military forces, with over three million troops and a vast arsenal of nuclear weapons. If the Soviet Union reunited, it would likely have a significant military presence, which could create tensions with other countries. Politics: The Soviet Union was a one-party state, with the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU) controlling all aspects of the government. If the Soviet Union reunited, the new government would need to find a way to accommodate diverse political viewpoints and balance the interests of the different republics. In conclusion, the reunification of the Soviet Union would have significant implications for the world's politics, economy, military, and people. While it is unlikely to happen anytime soon, it is essential to consider the potential consequences of such an event.
@@pbx17gaming50bro if Russia, Belarus, Armenia, Kazahkstan, Uzbekistan, Krygzstan, Turkmenistan and Tajikistan are gonna become USSR again, who is gonna be the president? Vladimir Putin or Dmitry Medvedev? That will be a massive question
You made me love geography after I hated it and didn't care about it You're my favourite geography RU-vidr I love the way you make Ur video Thank for Ur work, much love from Morocco 🇲🇦❤️🇺🇲
your videos are entretaining, easy to understand, fun and full of knowledge i love your channel and what you do, I got instered in geography and you helped me love geography and history
@@global.things yeah I am glad to see your educational content with some joke's, that makes me laugh, and do not push yourself too hard on these content's, take a rest if it's needed.
@@LordIshan I think you really need to learn the difference between neutrality and support. India never condemned Russia invasion but also never supported it. Also they are abiding by the western price cap on Russia’s oil and natural gas
Can you create a *Long Video* of Brazil vs Australia (Day 300 of asking this) and also because these are growing superpowers and This would mean alot to me and I don't have any other requests because you're videos are Great!
I would not say they are both even close to superpowers. They might not even be considered great powers. If they are Australia would win because they have the support of the west and brazils military is relatively weak.
@@Sscc. we're not talking about allies and I also said “growing superpowers” and If you need an idea of how this video would be go and see this guy's video on China vs United States
4:12 at its hight USSR's economy hold massive 12% of the world economy, which now would be 17 608/17 534 (World Bank/ International Monetary Fund) millions international dollars as of 2021 by GDP for PPP, taking the 3rd place behind China (27 313/27 206) and USA (22 996 for both), but after India (10 219/10 194), Japan (5 397/5 607) and Germany (4 815/4 888).
An interesting fact about the USSR. In 1990, it was the second largest economy in the world behind the USA. However the USA had a GDP twice the USSR at 5.9 trillion compared to the 2.7 the soviets had
I’m pretty sure the ussr would have the second or 3rd strongest due to how lacking their military production is, and it would take quite a while to standardize weapons across the nation again
That's not necessarily accurate. The USSR was a nuclear superpower and had a large, fully developed military apparatus before its collapse in 1991. Though it would have to rebuild its military after reassembling the nation, it would still likely have a powerful military force.
@@4rqade947 USSR had a lot of factories, look at what industralization did to USSR, they were producing tens of thousands of tanks a year, around 30,000 if I'm not mistaken, those factories were dismantled after the fall of USSR, and majority of said factories were outside of Russia, if those countries were to reunite, the production would be nowhere near where it was.
@@Billy_Herrington1969 That's incorrect - while it is true that USSR had a lot of factories, most of them were located within the Soviet Union itself and not in other countries. Additionally, even if all the former Soviet countries did reunite, it's unlikely that the productions levels would be where they were before the fall of the Soviet Union.
You missed something very important in the History part; the 1991 Soviet Union Referendum, which asked the question: "Do you consider it necessary to preserve the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics as a renewed federation of equal sovereign republics, in which the rights and freedoms of a person of any nationality will be fully guaranteed?" 77.85%, or 113,512,812 people said yes, and 22.15%, or 32,303,977 people said no. The failed August 1991 coup was one of the major starting points of the dissolution of the USSR. Otherwise, good video!
One thing, I don’t think Putin would be the new leader, Zhuganov (whatever his name was) would probably take power, he is the leader of the CPRF after all
Hello from azerbaijan nice video most of our people really hates soviet union my grandpa (87years old) said USSR have many good things but most of people's life were hard and poverty is really high also in 1930s not only 5 million people died our history books says 15-20 million people died in 1930s because of stalin. Our people really hates ussr and stalin but also many people likes ussr except stalin. In Azerbaijan hate for Stalin is on really another level. Who loves ussr they only loves Nikita or Brejnev. A little love lenin
Wow! Thank you for sharing this with us! The USSR was certainly a harsh place to live and the political and economic climates were less than ideal. Hello from the USA! 🇺🇸 🇦🇿
Your history books are wrong, archival and statistical evidence debunked the 20 million number and sources that use those numbers invariably turn out to be politically motivated
Thank god this content exists. It’s short but full of information. Like this touches every like 101 topic and gives the 101 of them of eastern Europe and what not. Like as far as an American goes this would inanely help them. Like just watching this gets you leagues ahead of everyone else if you are just in an America. highschool. And this is just Soviet stuff lol. Imagine the other videos and how ahead you’d be. While yes you’d know little, it’s somewhere and sadly our education system sucks that bad.
Um yeah but the ussr was only friends with india because it had a bad relationship with the US but now US and India are cool and the ussr doesn't like any country that is allied with the US
Reaction of this video (also pls like and reply): Belarus : I want to join you Ukraine : :skull: Kazakhstan: Umm sure Tajikistan and Uzbekistan : Sure Kyrgyzstan: I WANT TO BE FREE! Baltics: NO!
Given the current strength of the Russian military, I highly doubt the USSR would even make top 5 in conventional military strength. It's only saving grace would be the nuclear stockpile.
The author compared the economy of the USSR and America, just added up the GDP of all post-Soviet countries, this is extremely stupid. The USSR had an economy almost like that of America, but it was still developing. There were up to 60 thousand nuclear weapons in the USSR, and Russia does not use the entire army in Ukraine, Russian bombers and fighters do not fly in the sky of Ukraine (2nd place in the world), the entire fleet does not swim in the Black Sea (3rd place in the world).
@@yml3920 Russian bombers are not flying over Ukraine's skies because that's not how the wars are fought nowadays, there's no carpet bombings, it's not Iraq, Ukraine has enjoyed air superiority for more than 400 days and counting, at this point, they're shooting down Russian helicopters and jets in Russian territory, Ukrainian-made drones are flying over Kremlin, undetected, it's a total clown fiesta, all that you've said is a big cope, simple as
