The Cold War was a period of geopolitical tension between the United States and its allies on one side, and the Soviet Union and its allies on the other, from the end of World War II in 1945 until the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. It was characterized by political, economic, and military competition, as well as propaganda and espionage. The two superpowers never directly engaged in military conflict, but instead fought through proxy wars and arms races. The Cold War had a significant impact on global politics and shaped the world order for decades.
