The term is usually used for rhetorical purposes, and was probably coined by Lester Pearson in June 1955 at the 10th anniversary of the signing of the UN Charter: "the balance of terror has replaced the balance of power".
The cold war was about nuclear weapons; without nukes, there would have been no cold war. Only the US had nukes prior to 1949; the US was the most powerful nation on earth...in 1949 the Soviets (Russians) tested their first nuke. They had the "bomb" now. The power had shifted.
The main one has been the terror of the cold war and all the side effects from that terror.
the cold war was not exactly a war but it was between the United States and Russia.
There are lots of wars all the time, particularly civil wars, but the major war which followed the Cold War is known as the War On Terror; the wars in both Iraq and Afghanistan are part of that larger struggle against international terrorism.
