The Cold War was considered an important historical conflict because it shaped global politics for nearly half a century, influencing international relations, military strategies, and economic systems worldwide. It marked the ideological struggle between capitalism, led by the United States, and communism, led by the Soviet Union, prompting significant events such as the Korean War, the Cuban Missile Crisis, and the arms race. This period also led to the formation of military alliances like NATO and the Warsaw Pact, deeply impacting nations' foreign policies. Ultimately, the Cold War's conclusion in the early 1990s reshaped the geopolitical landscape and contributed to the rise of new powers and the spread of democracy in Eastern Europe.
