The Cold War was an unarmed conflict of ideological confrontation. It was fought between the two great powers of the time (1947-1991): the United States and the Soviet Union. The objective of this war was to dominate the world through their political and socioeconomic systems, capitalism and communism, respectively.

After World War II, the United States launched an economic recovery plan for the countries affected by the war. The famous Marshall Plan was not accepted by the USSR, as it represented an attempt to prevent the spread of communism in Europe. The two nations clashed for more than 40 years.

Some of its consequences were: the division of Germany, the construction of the Berlin Wall, parallel war conflicts such as the Vietnam War and the Korean War. NATO was also created to defend democratic territories from communist expansionism and the Warsaw Treaty.

The war finally culminated with the fall of the Berlin Wall and the dissolution of the USSR in 1991. If you want to delve deeper into this historical event, you can’t miss our collection of over 20 books on the Cold War in PDF format. Download them for free, below.
