Historians have not fully agreed on the dates‚ but 1947–1991 is common.

The Cold War split the temporary wartime alliance against

The Cold War was composed of two competing superpowers‚ the Soviet Union and the United States‚ in a war without ever direct conflict. The Cold War came to be through Soviet actions and American fear of those actions. The Soviets practiced their ideology of communism on East Germany and took over Eastern European countries as a buffer zone to protect themselves.

Who was more to blame for the start of the Cold War‚ the USA or the USSR? There were many countries involved in the Cold War.
