Cold War, 1967: Today’s Yemen, blame the British Empire’s Aden Emergency

The British empire (Commonwealth of Nations) called it the Aden Emergency, it was a portent of things to come for the soon to be created country of Yemen. Essentially, what is happening today in Yemen can be traced back to when the British empire established that region as a colony in the early 1800s. The town of Aden was captured by the British empire in 1839 as part of its expansion from its India Colony, by 1937 it was renamed the Aden Colony. Forever Wars playlist:
