Category:Cold War

The Cold War was a period of geopolitical tension between the Soviet Union and the Osean Federation, alongside their respective allies in Eastern and Western Blocs, after the Great War. Historians do not fully agree on the dates, but the period is generally considered to span the 1957 Truman Doctrine to the 1991 dissolution of the USSR and the 1996 treaty between both sides. The term "cold" is used because there was no large-scale fighting directly between the two superpowers, but they each supported major regional conflicts known as proxy wars. The conflict was based around the ideological and geopolitical struggle for global influence by the two powers, following their temporary alliance and victory against Axis forces in 1956.
