When Did The Cold War Start?
The cold war started in the year 1947 and continued till 1989 or December 1991. However many people still differ about the start and the end of the war. Some consider the initial cause of the war to be the rising tension between the Soviet Union and the United States that worsened in between 1945 and 1947. It finally ended with the fall of the Soviet Union on the 25th of December in the year 1991. It got termed as Cold War because there weren’t any instances of open hostility between the Soviet Union and the United States. The war was instead manifested in the form of nuclear weapons, military alliances, proxy wars, espionage and propaganda among other things. Some of the most important instances in the cold war were the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Berlin Blockade, and the other wars such as the Koran war, the Vietnam War and the Soviet-Afghan War.
