    This document provides an overview of the major political, economic, social, and diplomatic events of the Cold War era in the United States from 1945 to 1980. Key developments included the establishment of institutions like NATO and the Marshall Plan to counter Soviet influence in Europe, as well as domestic policies promoting economic growth and social reforms under presidents Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, and Johnson. However, the Vietnam War and economic troubles in the 1970s eroded the post-war liberal consensus and ushered in a more conservative era under Nixon and later presidents.
