After World War II ended, the Soviet Union created the Cold War because of their mistrust of the USA. The result was a period of east-west struggle marked by tension, competition in arms, and conflicts short of full scale war. The Berlin Airlift and the Cuban Crisis were major events that came close to actual warfare. The tensions and mistrust eased in the 1980s and dissolved in the 1990s. It is estimated that over 200 military and intelligence personnel were KIA during the long period of this war.
