Cold War (jan 1, 1947 – dec 25, 1991)

Description:

The four-decade long struggle between communism and capitalism known as the cold war was never actually fought on either American or Soviet soil since both countries had nuclear weaponry, but rather was a collection of shorter wars (such as the Vietnam War) and political struggles that ultimately ended with the fall of the USSR.
