→Cold War (1947 – 1989)
The greatest shock to the boring stability of the Cold War order was the 1971 – 1979 U.S. enlistment of [[China]] in the [[containment]] of the [[Soviet Union]]. China's shift to the so-called "free world" rebalanced but did not alter the fundamental nature of the world order of the time. This remained defined by adversarial interactions of the [[United States]] and its bloc and the [[Soviet Union]] and its satrapies. Aside from the U.S. entente with China and an earlier shift to neutrality by [[Yugoslavia]], there were few defections from either bloc. Only one — [[Cuba]]'s turn to Soviet protection – catalyzed the near-death experience of a [[nuclear]] standoff between the two superpowers. Deft [[diplomacy]] kept disaster at bay.
