WORLD HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -The Cold War (1947–1948) is the period within the Cold War from the Truman Doctrine in 1947 to the incapacitation of the Allied Control Council in 1948. The Cold War emerged in Europe a few years after the successful US–USSR–UK coalition won World War II in Europe, and extended to 1989–91.

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: -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.

Detailed explanation-4: -In late 1991 the Soviet Union collapsed and 15 newly independent nations were born from its corpse, including a Russia with a democratically elected, anticommunist leader. The Cold War had come to an end.
