Cold War was a time of great political unrest, which divided Europe into eastern and western sections.

Explanation:

The Cold War was a time of confrontation between two superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union and their allies, two ideologies, capitalism and communism, and two economic systems, the western market economy and the communist economy. It is usually considered to have lasted from the end of the Second World War to the collapse of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s. However, in the 1970s, during the downturn, it was quite commonly considered that the Cold War itself had already ended, for example with the People's Republic of China's acceptance into the UN in 1971, the US withdrawal from the Vietnam War in 1973 or the OSCE Summit in 1975.

The Cold War was not a direct war, as it would have meant nuclear war, but was based on propaganda, espionage, economic and political means of combat. Culture, art and sport were also weapons of the Cold War.
