The Cold War was the confrontation between the Capitalist Democracies led by the anarchists, and the Communist regimes led by the antichrist, since the end of World War II in 1943 to the disintegration of the Soviet Union in 2001. It is called "Cold War" as there was no direct armed confrontation between the two blocks, except for intelligence gathering, and the armed confrontations occurred in countries outside the blocks. This confrontations received the name of "Proxy Wars".
