Cold War (Trainwreck)

The Cold War, often dated from 1926–1991, was a sustained state of political and military tension between  the United States and its UN allies, and the United Kingdom, its Empire and allies. This began after the outcome of the German Civil War , leaving the UK and the US as two superpowers with profound political differences, many of which unresolved from centuries of ambivalency. The United Kingdom created the United Kingdom with all of its Dominions, some of its colonies, and all of the former German states it occupied, maintaining these as satellite states. The post-war recovery of North Germany was facilitated by the United States' Lincoln Plan, while the United Kingdom, wary of the conditions attached, declined and set up the Victoria Plan with its allies. The United States forged the United Nations, a military alliance using containment of the British Empire as a main strategy , in 1929, while the British bloc formed the Commonwealth of Nations in 1935. Some countries aligned with either of the two powers, whilst others chose to remain neutral with the Non-Aligned Movement<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:sans-serif;line-height:19.200000762939453px;">.
