During the Cold War, which lasted (in varying degrees) from the 1950s into the 1980s, the primary adversaries were the United States and the Soviet Union. A host of other major nations along with many minor nations were also involved, as allies or associates, sometimes as protectorates, of the two primary powers at odds with each other.
