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!
