What is the Geographic Location of the cold war?

There was no geographic location, because there was no war. The cold war was a military stand off between the communist world and the free world. No one shot at one another. Red and Free submarines chased each other around the globe (around the world). Red and Free aircraft followed each other (shadowed each other) all over the world. Satellites spied on each other and spy planes (U-2 & SR71) took photos over each other. Geographic location? World wide (to include the North Pole and South Pole).

This geographical disadvantage, combined with strategic miscalculations, ultimately contributed to Germany's defeat.

Capitol Hill is often referred to simply as "the Hill" because it is the location of the United States Capitol building, where Congress meets.
