The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It began in the aftermath of the Second World War and ended with the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991.
- The term cold war is used because there was no direct fighting between the two superpowers, though each supported opposing sides in regional conflicts known as proxy wars.
- In addition to the struggle for ideological and economic influence and an arms race in both conventional and nuclear weapons, the Cold War was expressed through technological rivalries such as the Space Race, espionage, propaganda campaigns, embargoes, and sports diplomacy.
