The tussle between Capitalist nations and Communist nations for power and ideological influence, which began after the Second World War is referred to as the ‘Cold War’. Walter Lippmann, an American political columnist was the first to use the term ‘Cold War’.

- The aftermath of the Second World War created conditions leading to the onset of the Cold War. England and France lost their primary positions in world politics.
- During the world war Russia gained prominence in Eastern Europe, while America, England and France gained prominence in Western Europe.
- Thus, Europe was divided into Eastern and Western Europe.
- The Eastern European nations under the influence of Soviet Russia adopted communist ideology.
- The Western European nations under the influence of America adopted capitalist ideology and a democratic system.
- This situation caused the emergence of the ‘Cold War’.
