    The Cold War was a 40-year standoff between the United States and Soviet Union that began after World War II as tensions grew over their differing economic ideologies of capitalism versus communism. Key events included the Soviet takeover of Berlin splitting Germany in two, the US policy of containment to stop communism's spread through programs like the Marshall Plan and NATO military alliance, and an arms race developing nuclear weapons that defined the Cold War until the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991.
