Cold War

Between 1945 and 1991, Europe was divided between two superpowers and their allies: US led NATO in Western Europe and USSR led Warsaw Pact in the East!. The war was 'cold' because there was never a direct military engagement between them, due partly to the presence of nuclear weapons on both sides!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
