The Cold War Ideological Conflict and Global Competition

The Cold War, spanning from 1947 to 1991, was a period of political tension and military rivalry between the U.S. and the Soviet Union. It was characterized by ideological differences, proxy wars, and the arms race. Key events include the Berlin Blockade, Cuban Missile Crisis, and the Space Race. The fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of the Soviet Union marked the end of this era, leading to significant political and economic changes globally.
