Brief History of the Cold War Shortly after World War II ended, the United States and the Soviet Union entered into a 45 year-long Cold War. During this period, the United States used several strategies in response to Soviet aggression. America used political, economic, and military strategies to help slow and prevent the spread of Communism. During the Cold War, neither the United States or the Soviet Union were ever involved in any direct war. The term Cold War is derived from the fact that tension never heated up enough to cause war. The Cold War ended in 1990 after the fall of the Berlin Wall.

TRUMAN DOCTRINE With the Truman Doctrine, President Harry S. Truman established that the United States would provide political, military and economic assistance to all democratic nations under threat from external or internal authoritarian forces.

MARSHALL PLAN The Marshall Plan generated a resurgence of European industrialization and brought extensive investment into the region. It was also a stimulant to the U.S. economy by establishing markets for American goods.
