The Cold War, spanning roughly from 1947 to 1991, was characterized by geopolitical tensions between the United States and its allies, representing capitalism and democracy, and the Soviet Union along with its satellite states, promoting communism. It featured a nuclear arms race, ideological conflicts, and proxy wars in regions like Korea, Vietnam, and Afghanistan. The conflict was marked by events such as the Cuban Missile Crisis and the Berlin Wall's fall, ultimately leading to the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991 and the end of communist influence in Eastern Europe. This resulted in a significant shift in global power dynamics and the emergence of the U.S. as the sole superpower.
