The\u00a0<strong>Yalta Conference<\/strong>\u00a0(February 1945) marked the beginning of tensions between the capitalist West, led by the United States, and the socialist East, dominated by the Soviet Union.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/event\/Cold-War\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The&nbsp;<strong>Berlin Blockade<\/strong>&nbsp;(June 1948 &#8211; May 1949) represented the first major Cold War crisis, when Stalin attempted to force Western powers out of Berlin through economic strangulation. The Western response\u2014the&nbsp;<strong>Berlin Airlift<\/strong>\u2014demonstrated American commitment to containing Soviet expansion and established the pattern of superpower confrontation without direct military conflict.<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Cold_War\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, it was the&nbsp;<strong>Cuban Missile Crisis<\/strong>&nbsp;(October 16-28, 1962) that brought the world closest to nuclear annihilation. The&nbsp;<strong>13-day standoff<\/strong>&nbsp;over Soviet nuclear missiles in Cuba revealed both the dangers of nuclear brinkmanship and the mutual recognition that &#8220;a nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought&#8221;.<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Cuban_Missile_Crisis\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The crisis&#8217;s resolution led to the&nbsp;<strong>Nuclear Test Ban Treaty of 1963<\/strong>, marking the beginning of arms control cooperation.

Initial optimism about&nbsp;<strong>Russian integration<\/strong>&nbsp;into the Western-led order gradually gave way to mutual disappointment and renewed competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>NATO&#8217;s eastward expansion<\/strong>&nbsp;emerged as a central source of tension. From&nbsp;<strong>16 members in 1991 to 32 members by 2024<\/strong>, NATO&#8217;s growth included former Soviet states and Warsaw Pact allies, effectively doubling the&nbsp;<strong>Russia-NATO border from 708 to 1,931 kilometers<\/strong>&nbsp;after Finland&#8217;s 2023 membership.<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/strategiecs.com\/en\/analyses\/the-expansion-of-nato-and-its-impact-on-the-concepts-of-european-neutrality-and-security\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Russian officials consistently argued that NATO had broken promises made during German reunification negotiations.
