Description
While Europe remained largely peaceful during the Cold War under the shadow of nuclear deterrence and rival military alliances, much of the superpower rivalry was fought elsewhere. Proxy wars, revolutions, and interventions erupted across Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America as the United States and Soviet Union competed for influence without directly fighting each other in Europe. As Western and Eastern Europe experienced decades of tense but mostly stable borders, conflicts around the world became the battlegrounds of the Cold War. This contrast made Europe relatively quiet compared to the violence unfolding across much of Asia, Africa, and the developing world.
