From 1946-1991, the United States was involved with the Soviet Union in what is now called the Cold War. This conflict did not see the two superpowers go to war directly, but both countries fought each other based on political ideologies and differences through "proxy wars". Two well-known proxy wars were the Korean and Vietnam Wars, where the United States backed the South Korean and the South Vietnamese governments in order to prevent the spread of the Soviets' totalitarian empire.
