Preferred term

Cold War  

Definition

  • Cold war is a term that refers to the period of deep mutual hostility between the Soviet and Western blocs that possessed many of the earmarks of actual war except for combat. The commonly accepted time frame views the cold war as beginning in the immediate post–World War II years and ending in 1989 with the breeching of the Berlin Wall and the subsequent disbanding of the Soviet Union.
