Abstract

The article is devoted to the background of the Cold War of 1945—1991 between the Soviet Union and the United States of America, which became the first truly global conflict in world history. Firstly, the author studied the origin of the term “cold war” itself, which indicated the absence of a full-scale military clash (“hot war”) directly between the armed forces of two opposing superpowers — the USSR and the USA. The author also convincingly demonstrated the fact that Washington and London began the Cold War against their former World War II ally, Moscow, at least a year and a half before the famous Fulton speech of W. Churchill, delivered by the British politician on March 5, 1946.
