The Cold War (1945-1990) was the era of conflict, tension, and competition between the United States and the Soviet Union and their respective allies. There was never a direct military engagement between the U.S. and the USSR, but there was an enormous expansion of military hardware and infrastructure, as well as political battles for support around the world, including significant involvement of allied and satellite nations in proxy wars.
