Detailed explanation-1: -What was the Cold War?

This hostility between the two superpowers was first given its name by George Orwell in an article published in 1945.
Detailed explanation-2: -The term cold war is used because there was no large-scale fighting directly between the two superpowers, but they each supported opposing sides in major regional conflicts known as proxy wars.
