Did you know that the Cold War defined the world order during the second half of the 20th century. It pitted two blocs against each other: the Western bloc, led by the United States, advocating capitalism and liberal democracy, and the Eastern bloc, led by the Soviet Union (USSR), defending communism.

The term "cold" illustrates the absence of direct and widespread armed conflict between the two superpowers, due to the threat of mutual destruction by nuclear weapons.

However, this period was marked by proxy wars (Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan), a frenzied arms race, and intense space competition.

The fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, followed by the dissolution of the USSR in 1991, brought an end to this confrontation.

This era profoundly shaped contemporary culture, science, and international relations, bequeathing a complex multipolar world where the legacies of this ideological rivalry still influence current diplomatic tensions between major powers.
