Video Lecture

This lecture will help you understand how the Cold War was experienced in the Third World. The Cold War involved numerous proxy wars in Third World countries, including Guatemala, Korea and Vietnam. This lecture explores these proxy wars, why they were fought, and the broader impact of the Cold War on the developing world.

Unfortunately, the audio quality of the video below is poor. For that reason, you may prefer to listen to this lecture as an audio podcast (with much better sound quality). For this option, click here: Professor Niall Ferguson, The Third World's War
