Cold War Operations

Cold War operations refer to the covert and overt strategic activities between the United States and the Soviet Union from the late 1940s to the early 1990s, aimed at gaining global influence without direct military conflict. These included espionage, propaganda, arms buildup, alliances, and supporting regional conflicts. Countries often engaged in secret missions, intelligence gathering, and psychological warfare to shape political outcomes. The goal was to strengthen one’s own sphere of power while weakening the other, all conducted quietly to avoid full-scale war, exemplifying a tense but cautious competition between two superpowers.
