The Cold War came to an end with the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. The Allies were concerned with the brutal leadership of Joseph Stalin as well as the spread of communism. Although, the Soviet Union was an important member of the Allied Powers, there was great distrust between the Soviet Union and the rest of the Allies. The Cold War began not too long after World War II ended in 1945. Although the two superpowers never officially declared war on each other, they fought indirectly in proxy wars, the arms race, and the space race. These two countries became known as superpowers. The west was led by the United States and Eastern Europe was led by the Soviet Union.
The Cold War was a long period of tension between the democracies of the Western World and the communist countries of Eastern Europe.
