Question
What is 'cold war'? How did it come to an end?
✓
Answer
The struggle for dominance over world politics and the ideological conflict between the USA and the USSR create a perpetual state of war, without the actual outbreak of war. The resultant tense international situation is described as the 'cold war'. → The cold war eased and finally came to an end in 1990 when Mikhail Gorbachev, a liberal-minded Prime Minister of the USSR started the process of normalisation of relations with the western countries.
