The Cold War was different compared to any other war because there was no direct fighting between two superpower nations, The U.S and The Soviet Union. The war was mostly about political conflicts that lead to the Containment policy, The Truman Doctrine and Eisenhower’s policies.

The Cold War Origins began in 1947 and ending in 1991. It all started 2 years after WWII when the U.S used the containment policy against the soviets. The containment policy was issued to prevent the spread of communism, which was mostly for the Soviet Union in Eastern Europe. This helped create the NATO, which stands for North Atlantic Treaty Organization, a defense pact. (www.historychannel.com).
