Brown v. Board of Education, 347 US 483 (1954)
Together, the consolidated cases of Brown v. Board of Education and its companion case Bolling v. Sharpe,ended de jure (legal) segregation in public schools for the entire United States when the US Supreme Court declared separating schoolchildren by race was unconstitutional under the Fourteenth Amendment Due Process Clause.
Unfortunately, the practice of segregation endured in many parts of the country for years after the Court issued its decision. This occurred in part because the Court had set no firm time frame for integration in the follow-up case, Brown v. Board of Education II, (1955); because the federal government didn't make much effort to enforce integration until Congress passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964; and because some school districts attempted to evade the ruling by redrawing district boundaries, issuing vouchers for white children to attend all-white private schools, and other methods.
The United States still has problems with de factosegregation (caused by circumstances, not law), primarily in certain urban areas where the population is predominantly poor and African-American.

No, not directly. Brown v. Board of Education, (1954) occurred during the Cold War era, but the two were not related.
Brown was an American civil rights case that overturned the "separate but equal" doctrine established in Plessy v. Ferguson, (1896), and declared segregation in public schools unconstitutional. It was a major victory in the struggle for equal rights in the United States.
The Cold War (approximately 1947-1991) was a period of military tension between the former Soviet Union (USSR) and the West, primarily the United States, that began at the conclusion of World War II.
Conflict between the US and the USSR escalated after Soviet leader Stalin's death in 1953, which happens to be approximately the same time the civil rights struggle heated up in the United States, but there was no cause-and-effect relationship.

Was desegregation easy after the decision inthe Brown vs. Board trial?
Sadly, no. While the law changed in 1954, changing attitudes took a lot longer. Many white parents in the south were outraged that they would have to send their kids to school with black children, so they withdrew their kids and created all-white private academies. Other parents resisted and protested, causing the black children who were trying to be admitted to be subjected to slurs and taunts as well as threats of violence. It took more than a decade before things calmed down in some cities. Even to this day, one complaint from the black community is that the public schools are still segregated-- although not by law, but rather, by custom-- white kids attend better-resourced and often newer schools, while most black kids, especially in the inner cities, still attend school in old buildings with few modern resources.
