Is the cold war still going on?

Answer 1

Not really--but it has evolved perhaps into a different kind of conflict.

The Cold War was a war fought between the United States and the Soviet Union between 1945 and the early 1990s until the dissolution of the Berlin Wall and of the Soviet Union itself. Although it was a "cold" war in most respects, several smaller "hot" wars were battles of the Cold War: Korea, Vietnam, Angola, Afghanistan, etc.

Once the Warsaw Pact dissolved and most of its former members became members of NATO, along with the dissolution of the Soviet Union, we can probably regard the Cold War as we knew it to be over.

However, after a brief period of warming, relations between Russia (the successor state to the Soviet Union) and the West have become quite chilly again. Russia doesn't wield the same international influence it once did, however, so this new chill in relations probably doesn't fit the definition of a new or continuing cold war.

In the post-Cold War era, relations between China and India and the West have become more the focus of the international system.

Answer 2

For the most part, the Cold War ended in the early 1970's. There are still some residual concerns about it, it is hard to start liking someone you've hated for a long time. But for the most part the two sides are learning to work with each other for the good of all. And the threat of an all out nuclear war is not very great at this point.

also Korea and Vietnam was a cease fire.
