Introduction
Cold War -It is the term applied to tacit rivalry between the United States and the Soviet Union (USSR) and their respective allies, after the end of WWII. This rivalry was political, economic, and propaganda based and was largely a no-weapons war. The term was coined in 1945 by George Orwell, the English writer, to refer to a potential nuclear stalemate between monstrous super-states that possessed weapons of mass destruction. The Cold War is reckoned to have ended with the fall of the Soviet Union in 1992.
