The Cold War is an ideological clash between the Western capitalist block - the "Free World" led by the USA- and the Eastern communist block lead by mother Russia USSR. The two blocks fought by proxy from 1947 to 1990, through violent crisis, such as the Korean War from 1951 to 1953, the Vietnam War from 1965, and the Cuban Crisis in 1968, and some softer crisis, such as the Berlin Blockade from June 1948 to May 1949, and the Berlin Wall in august 1961. The common point with all these events is that they are relevant to the Cold War climate, without having a real influence on the post cold war period, and in the current international issues.
