Cold War Guerrilla Warfare

Cold War guerrilla warfare refers to unconventional combat tactics used by smaller, often local forces to resist larger, more powerful entities during the geopolitical tensions between the Soviet Union and the United States (1947-1991). This type of warfare typically involves ambushes, sabotage, and hit-and-run tactics rather than direct confrontations. Guerrilla fighters often blend in with civilians and use their knowledge of the terrain to their advantage. While it can shift power dynamics, it often leads to prolonged conflicts, as seen in Vietnam and Afghanistan, where local groups fought against foreign military involvement, influencing international relations and strategies.
