The **Cold War** was a period of geopolitical tension between the United States of America (USA) and the United Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR). The United States was supported by NATO alongside various pro-capitalist co-belligerents, while the Soviet Union was supported by the Warsaw Pact, the other members of Comecon, and other various pro-communist and pro-socialist countries/factions. Unbeknownst to most of the United States, another side of the conflict was able to emerge. CHIMERA, both armed and supplied by the Soviet Union and United States, rebelled, building themselves up while the two global powers fought.

## Prelude

World War II had temporarily allied the ideologically different United States and USSR. However, following the war, these ideological differences would become more apparent, and eventually lead to the Cold War. This was especially heightened after the USSR got their hands on thermo-nuclear bombs.

## Conflict

### Vietnam War

#### Partition of Vietnam

Following Vietnam's independence from France, the country was unified, known as the State of Vietnam. However, after the Geneva Conference of 1954, Vietnam was split into North and South Vietnam. A conflict then broke out over who should lead—the communist North or the capitalist South. During the conflict, the United States invaded Vietnam, and drafted millions of Americans to fight in Vietnam.
