The cold war really was not a war. It was just a bunch of country's arguing. This was because everyone was developing nuclear weapons. The cold war really did not have a end. it just sort of died away
The Soviet Union collapsed in 1991 and the war went with it.
It lasted officially from September 2, 1945 according to U.S. Federal Law, (the date the Japanese formally surrendered thus marking the end of World War II) to December 26, 1991 (the date of the formal dissolution of the Soviet Union). May 1, 2003 is the cold war victory day.
Relations between the Superpowers began to thaw a bit as soon as Gorbachev took office in March 1985- however, the first real step towards disarmament took place in December 1987, when Gorbachev and US President Ronald Reagan signed the historic INF Treaty at the White House. INF - or Intermediate Nuclear Freeze- pledged both powers to stop building any more medium-range nuclear missiles, and also to begin dismantling those that they already possessed. The same year, Gorbachev introduced 'Glasnost' to the USSR- a massive programme of liberalisation that allowed greater free speech, freedom of the press and political debate. This really took off in 1988. The Cold War then gradually wound down throughout the late '80s, until the failed coup by Communist hardliners in August 1991 led to the collapse of the Soviet Union at the end of that year.
The Cold War had no specific start date, unlike, say, WWII, but it started almost as soon as WWII finished, in 1845.
