About 7. The Cold War: Problems of International Relations after the Second World War

The Cold War was a decades-long geopolitical struggle between the capitalist West led by the USA and the communist East led by the USSR, characterized by ideological hostility without direct large-scale warfare between the two superpowers. Instead of open battle, conflict manifested through proxy wars, nuclear arms races, espionage, propaganda, and competing spheres of influence that divided the globe into opposing camps.

This bipolar standoff created constant international instability as both sides sought to contain the other’s expansion while avoiding mutual nuclear annihilation. The fear of communism versus capitalism shaped foreign policy, domestic politics, and economic development worldwide, forcing neutral nations to navigate a dangerous path between two hostile blocs until the system eventually collapsed.
