Detailed explanation-1: -The Cold War was a period (1945-1991) of geopolitical tension between the Soviet Union and its satellite states (the Eastern European countries), and the United States with its allies (the Western European countries) after World War II.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Cold War was a period of heightened tensions between the US and the Soviet Union. Lasting from 1945-1991, the two nations never directly fought, but instead engaged in proxy wars to advance their own ideologies–the US aiming to repel communism, and the USSR seeking to spread it.
Detailed explanation-3: -Three events heralded the end of the Cold War: the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, the reunification of Germany in 1990 and the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991. Each was brought about or shaped by the demands and actions of ordinary Europeans, who were determined to instigate change.
Detailed explanation-4: -As World War II transformed both the United States and the USSR, turning the nations into formidable world powers, competition between the two increased. Following the defeat of the Axis powers, an ideological and political rivalry between the United States and the USSR gave way to the start of the Cold War.
