    Honoring locals who served our country


    country in the COLD WAR
    The Cold War was a state of geopolitical tension

    COLD WAR between the Soviet Union with its satellite states
    (the Eastern Bloc), and the United States with its
    allies (the Western Bloc) after World War II. The
    conflict began with 1946, with a U.S. foreign policy of
    containment of the Soviet expansionism threatening
    strategically vital regions, and ending between the
    Revolutions of 1989 and the 1991 collapse of the
    USSR, which ended Soviet-style communism in
    Eastern Europe. The term “cold war” is used because
    there was no large-scale fighting directly between
    the two sides, but they each supported major
    regional wars. The post-WWII split of Germany into
    East and West Germany with Berlin split east and west
    as well, was a major long-term area of tension. The
    highest risk of direct nuclear war between the USSR
    and U.S. came with the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962.
