My favourite part of modern history is the cold war, my country of choice would be the U.S.S.R

My reasons are simple:

  • They sent the first man into space and sent Sputnik which sent the USA into a space chasing frenzy that made moon discovery possible.

  • Their flag, whilst simple like the PRC, is iconic in both memes but also infamy amongst Eastern European people as a sign of the historical power they wielded over half of Europe. I also just think it’s look cool.

  • Some of their structure sort of lives on in the modern era such as the PRC’s Politburo basically being a chinese version of the soviet one

  • I quite like a lot of the military hardware they made like the T 72 which is my favourite tank.

  • The soviets are responsible for Tetris!!!

What is your favourite historical country? It can be ancient, medieval, colonial era or cold war era etc.

Have a good day/night!

    Gonna have to agree with the USSR, the fall to Capitalism has been devastating not only for the former-Soviet countries, but workers around the world.
