Communism WAS the cold war. The Communists had nuclear weapons, we had nukes. The cold war was a military stand-off; two gunfighters staring at each other, each waiting for the other one to make a mistake or go for his gun. Finally, in 1989 (1990,1991 however histornians want to write it), the gunfighter named Soviet, turned his back and walked away...that ended the stand-off (cold war).
