Detailed explanation-1: -The Cold War was an ideological conflict between the capitalist United States and the communist Soviet Union, and their respective allies. Despite being called a war, it was not a direct military confrontation between the two sides.
Detailed explanation-2: -In a capitalist state, the economy is largely free from state control, while the government is democratically elected and freedom of speech is cherished. In contrast, a communist state is administered from the centre, with control of the economy and society strictly in the hands of the Communist Party-led government.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Cold War was an ideological conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union, or in other words capitalism against “communism”.
