Features: Due to the division of Germany and the formation of the Soviet-led bloc in Eastern Europe in 1945, the Cold War began to take shape in Europe. With the collapse of the Soviet-led bloc before 1989, the reunification of Germany in 1990, and the eventual dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, the Cold War was declared over. Over these 45 years, the Cold War spanned Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America. This book focuses not on the Cold War on a global scale, but on the special relationship between the United States and the Soviet Union since 1945.
