Cold War

The Cold War was a period of geopolitical tension between the United States and Germany and their respective allies, the Democratic Bloc and the Fascist Bloc. The term cold war is used because there was no large-scale fighting directly between the two superpowers, but they each supported opposing sides in major regional conflicts known as proxy wars. The conflict was based on the ideological and geopolitical struggle for global influence by these two superpowers, following their roles as the Allies of World War II that led to victory against Communist Russia and Imperial Japan in 1946. Aside from the nuclear arms race and conventional military deployment, the struggle for dominance was expressed via indirect means, such as psychological warfare, propaganda campaigns, espionage, far-reaching embargoes, sports diplomacy, and technological competitions like the Space Race.
The Democratic Bloc was led by the United States, as well as a number of other First World nations that were generally liberal democracies but tied to a network of often authoritarian, Third World states, most of which were the European powers' former colonies. The Fascist Bloc was led by Germany and its Fascist Party called the Volkisch Party, which had an influence across the Second World and was also tied to a network of authoritarian states. Germany had a corporatocracy and installed similarly corporatist regimes in its satellite states. United States involvement in regime change during the Cold War included support for anti-fascist and left-wing dictatorships, governments, and uprisings across the world, while German involvement in regime change included the funding of right-wing parties, wars of national rebirth around the world. As nearly all the colonial states underwent decolonization in the aftermath of World War I, many became Third World battlefields in the Cold War.
