The [[Cold War]] was a nearly 50-year long period of international tension between the two global [[Superpowers]] of the time; the [[USSR]] and the [[US]]. It was based on the key ideological differences between the two states; the Soviet Union was [[Communist]], while the United States was [[Capitalist]]. It is called the [[Cold War]] because it was not a constant series of battles like the [[Second World War]] that came before it, but instead it was a combination of political and ideological conflict alongside [[proxy wars]] such as the [[Korean War]] (1950-53) and the [[Vietnam War]] (1955-75).
