The Cold War is an ongoing conflict between the United States of America which leads its NATO allies and its non-NATO friends against the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and its satellite states and allies. Its start is usually stated as being 1947 and is ongoing. It is called the Cold War because it has not resulted in direct armed conflict between the major powers. The major reason, often cited, for this is the numerous nuclear arsenals the two side possess, which would lead to Mutual Assured Destruction (M.A.D).
