Cold War

The Cold War was a period in the 20th century after World War 2 between 1946 and 1989 where two superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union, vied for global dominance. 
Although some thought the emergence of new superpowers in the 21st century would lead to a renewed cold war, there were clear differences between the multi-polar world of the 21st century and the Cold War world of the 20th century. The ideologies of the various world powers in the 21st century were not as different as those of the communist and capitalist blocs in the 20th century with all majors powers practicing free market capitalism in some form.
