The Cold War

Introduction

Introduction

The Cold War was a period of tension and subdued hostility which gripped most of the world between the 1940s and the early 1990s.  Rather than engaging in a potentially devastating out and out war, the countries involved in the Cold War jockeyed for position in more subtle ways. There were many major events that happened during that time period.  We will take a look at eight of them.



Korean War

Vietnam War

Bay of Pigs Invasion

Cuban Missile Crisis

Berlin Wall

Berlin Airlift

Space Race
