There wasn't any real fighting between the two super powers during the cold war. The two powers were the United States and The Soviet Union (Russia). There was a lot of spying and testing each other but no real fighting.

At least until spies revealed the secrets of nuclear weapons to the Soviets. This began the Cold War nuclear standoff between the US and the new Russian empire, a complex ideological battle between capitalism and communist totalitarianism.
