The Cold War was the period of protracted conflict and competition between the United States and the Soviet Union and their allies from the late 1940s until the late 1980s. The main U.S. allies were Western Europe and Japan. The main Soviet allies were Eastern Europe and (until the Sino-Soviet Split), China. Throughout the period, the rivalry between the two superpowers was played out in multiple arenas: military coalitions, ideology, a massive conventional and nuclear arms race, and proxy wars.

In 1947 the term "Cold War" was introduced by Americans Bernard Baruch and Walter Lippmann to describe emerging tensions between the two former wartime allies.[1] There never was a major battle between the U.S. and the Soviet Union. But there was a half-century of military buildup, and political battles for support around the world, including major proxy wars.

Although the U.S. and the Soviet Union had been wartime allies against Nazi Germany, the two sides differed on how to reconstruct the postwar world even before the end of the Second World War. Over the following decades, the Cold War spread outside Europe to every region of the world, as the U.S. sought the "containment" of communism and forged numerous alliances to this end, particularly in Western Europe, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia.

There were repeated crises that threatened to escalate into world wars but never did, notably the Korean War (1950-1953), the Cuban Missile Crisis (1962), and the Vietnam War (1964-1975). There were also periods when tension was reduced as both sides sought détente. The Cold War ended in the late 1980s with Mikhail Gorbachev's launching of his internal reform programs, perestroika and glasnost. The Soviet Union consequently ceded power over Eastern Europe and dissolved in 1991.
