The Cold War (1947-1991) was an ideological, political, and economic confrontation between two superpowers: the United States and the Soviet Union.
Despite the absence of direct combat, it was waged through the arms race, space race, and global influence. It divided the world into Western and Eastern blocs, with NATO led by the United States and the Warsaw Pact headed by the USSR.
Indirect conflicts, such as the Korean War and the Vietnam War, symbolized the struggle for supremacy. The Cold War concluded with the collapse of the Soviet Union and significant geopolitical changes.
