It sounds like your country kept getting involved with forms of government that ended up costing you dearly.

Odd that Hitler would poison your king, especially if the friendship would have prevented Bulgaria from switching sides.

Interesting. So Russia was taking over countries under the guise of stopping the Nazis, then forced them to become communists. So basically the Communist regime can be summed up as blaming the Nazis and offering cheap sausages.

Yeah, we don't really get educated much on the Cold War over here (at least where I went to school). We will spend months on the causes of World War 1 and 2, but don't bother with the more recent Cold War. Actually, I can basically say that every history class refocused on the World Wars while ignoring everything else more recent...

I don't think the fear of nuclear weapons has ever gone away. Have you heard of the Doomsday Clock? We are basically one minute away from where we were during the height of the Cold War.
