    The Cold War was a period of geopolitical tension between the United States and Soviet Union, characterized by proxy wars, arms buildups, and military threats short of direct conflict between the two superpowers. Key events included the Soviet launch of Sputnik I starting the space race, the formation of NATO as a military alliance against communism in Europe, and the Cuban Missile Crisis bringing the US and USSR closest to nuclear war. The conflict ultimately resulted in a stalemate with no outright victory for either side.
