For the general term, see Cold war (general term).

The Cold War were a series of proxy wars, military and economic competition and conflicts between the Soviet Union, supported by socialist states which were opposing the United States and its allies, in an attempt to make either the Soviet Union or the United States the only world superpower. The war is generally regarded as having been won by the U.S, with the dissolution of the Soviet Union, and now the U.S. is the only dominating world power.
