A quick history lesson about the cold war (credits to Wikipedia): The Cold War was a period of geopolitical tension between the Soviet Union and the United States and their respective allies, the Eastern Bloc and the Western Bloc, after World War II. The term "cold" in "cold war" 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. Savvy?
