What was Cold War?
World
War
11 ended in 1945, but the victorious sides were soon quarrelling.
The heavyweights
USA and the then USSR grew suspicious about each other. They began
an arms race and disagreed on many things. This is what was
known as
the cold war. After the World War 11, Europe got divided into groups.
One was
the communist group of the East headed by the USSR and the
non-communist west
group, headed by USA. The struggle between the East and West continued in many parts of the
world. The Korean War (1950-53)
and the
Vietnam war (1945-76) was a trial of strength of the two sides. With the
break up of
USSR, the cold war too got dissipated.
