    The Cold War began after WWII as tensions grew between the US and Soviet Union. Key events that escalated tensions included the development of nuclear weapons, Stalin's expansion in Eastern Europe, the Berlin Blockade, and the Korean War. The Cold War continued with conflicts in areas like Vietnam and Cuba as the two sides promoted opposing political/economic ideologies. In the 1980s, Reagan increased military spending while Gorbachev implemented reforms in the Soviet Union. This led to the fall of the Berlin Wall and collapse of Soviet communism, ending the Cold War.
