The '''Cold War''' was a military standoff between the [[NATO]] Alliance and the [[Warsaw Pact]] nations that began after the end of the Second World War.  There was no direct fighting between the superpowers, but each country was involved in a number of proxy conflicts, most notably in Vietnam, Korea and Afghanistan. The Cold War was marked by a nuclear [[arms race]] between the two super-powers, and the unchecked proliferation of [[nuclear weapons]] was a cause for concern in many quarters.
