  • Summary

  • In today's podcast episode we discuss The Cold War, lasting from 1947 to 1991, which was a period of intense geopolitical rivalry between the United States and the Soviet Union. Characterized by ideological conflict, proxy wars, and an arms race, this era significantly shaped the global political landscape. Key events such as the Berlin Blockade, the Korean War, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Vietnam War, and the Soviet-Afghan War underscore the war's complexity and far-reaching impact. Despite never escalating into a full-scale war, the Cold War's legacy continues to influence international relations today.
