What is cold war and which countries took part in it.?

Answer 1

The (serious) answers above are right.

But in a way, almost every country in the world was a participant in the territorial struggle between the U.S. and the Soviet Union. The Cold War was behind the Korean War, the Vietnam War, wars in Afghanistan, Czechoslovakia, and Greece, in Middle East countries like Iran and Iraq, the Philippines, the Suez Canal conflict, African countries like Angola, all the South and Central American counties like Guatemala and El Salvador, and so on.

In short, I can't think of a region of the world that didn't take part in the Cold War in one form or another.

Answer 2

A cold war is a dispute in which there is little or no physical fighting. It was the U.S.S.R. and Eastern Europe against the Western nations. All of the former USSR, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Albania, China were some (not all) the main players for the Eastern nations. It was communism versus Democracy as a generalization.

Answer 3

the cold was was fought from 1959-1989. The principal Nuclear opponets were , the United States of America (u.s.a.) and The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics(u.s.s.r/c.c.c.p).

The cold war was mainly based on the possiblty of looming nuclear war but, that war was mainly an excuse to drive the econimies of those two nations by staging conflicts in third world nations (example;Contra and santinista revolution is nicarauga)
Sound Familiar? (see Usa vs. Al-quieda in Iraq)

Answer 4

The COLD WAR was between the United States and the USSR (look up McCarthyism). All countries in between were petrified to have Atomic boms dropped on their heads because those two had it in for each other.

Answer 5

A cold war is when armies fight in the winter time.


I can't believe people are too lazy to look up these things on their own. There is so much info on the Internet that I can't think of any subject that we can't find an answer on.

Yeah, I was being sarcastic in my answer. So what!
