The Cold War was an ideological battle between Communism and Capitalism, the East vs the West and the resulting struggle for ideological influence and power. At the end of WW2, the World would lay divided between two great superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union. Both sides would stockpile nuclear weapons, with questions over how to use, control and eliminate them becoming central to the conflict. From Stalin to Regan, from the CIA to the KGB, from the Berlin Wall to Hiroshima and Chernobyl, this is the story of The Cold War.
