Explanation: The Cold War is the political state of hostility between the United States and its allies on the one hand, and the Soviet Union and its satellite states, on the other hand, in the post-WWII-1990 period. The character of the Cold War is not open military battlefield battle, but propaganda, threats, encouraging other smaller states to fight, which would be supported by some of the superpower. The aim was to highlight and demonstrate military and political power, but not a direct conflict.
