What was the cold war?

The Cold War was a period of prolonged political and military tension between the United States and the Soviet Union, their respective allies, and other countries throughout the world.

It lasted from the end of World War II in 1945 until the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991.

During the Cold War, the two superpowers sought to spread their respective ideologies, capitalism and communism, across the world and gain more allies for themselves.

The Cold War was characterized by an ever-present fear of nuclear war, as both the United States and the Soviet Union had developed nuclear weapons and the ability to deliver them.

It was also a period of proxy wars, where the two sides would provide support for rival factions in various wars throughout the world, such as the Korean War and the Vietnam War.

The Cold War also saw the spread of the space race, with the United States and the Soviet Union competing to be the first to send a human into space and make other advances in space exploration.

The Cold War also saw the creation of the United Nations, a global organization designed to maintain peace and stability throughout the world.
