The Cold War was primarily characterized by the ideological conflict between capitalism, led by the United States, and communism, championed by the Soviet Union. Capitalism emphasized free markets, individual liberties, and democratic governance, while communism advocated for state control of resources, collective ownership, and a classless society. This rivalry influenced global politics, economics, and military strategies, leading to proxy wars and a significant arms race. Ultimately, these opposing philosophies shaped the geopolitical landscape of the 20th century.
