The Cold War
Although the ideological confrontation between the Soviet Union and NATO which lasted between 1945 - 1990 may not have involved direct conflict, the Cold War, as it came to be known, was fought by all other available means. Using economic pressure supported by a huge propaganda efforts both power blocks fought for dominance through client states across the globe.
Although it is now 20 years since the momentous events which presaged the end of the Cold War and the collapse of European Communism, from Moscow's Red Square, through the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington DC and the remains of the Berlin Wall on Bernauer Strasse, to the Memorial to the victims of Communism in Prague the evidence of the ideologies which divided the world for almost half a century remains.
