Detailed explanation-1: -The Cold War was an ongoing political rivalry between the United States and the Soviet Union and their respective allies that developed after World War II. This hostility between the two superpowers was first given its name by George Orwell in an article published in 1945.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Warsaw Pact embodied what was referred to as the Eastern bloc, while NATO and its member countries represented the Western bloc. NATO and the Warsaw Pact were ideologically opposed and, over time, built up their own defences starting an arms race that lasted throughout the Cold War.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Cold War was the war between the USSR and the USA which never actually came to direct fighting. Both tried to impose their ideologies on other countries – communism and capitalism – and gain superiority by the use of propaganda, espionage and the vast stores of weapons.
