The Cold War is the term that was coined to describe the relationship between the USA and the USSR that began with the end of World War Two. The Cold War dominated international politics for decades; the presence of nuclear weapons in both countries meant that the US and USSR would never themselves go to war, but their conflict was played out through the actions of numerous client states. Incidents included the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Vietnam War, and the construction of the Berlin Wall.
