Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term "Cold War" is commonly used to describe the period of political tension and military rivalry between the Soviet Union and the United States and their respective allies, which began after the end of World War II and lasted until the late 1980s. During this period, the two superpowers engaged in a range of proxy conflicts and indirect confrontations, including proxy wars in Korea and Vietnam, a nuclear arms race, and a space race. The term "Marshall War" and "Nuclear proliferation phase" are not commonly used to describe this period, and while NATO was a key alliance during the Cold War, it is not the best choice for describing the overall period of confrontation between the U.S.S.R. and the United States.
