In what month did the Cold War start?

A Cold War is a period of competitions and confrontations between countries. At the end of World War II, the United States and the Soviet Union began a prolonged period of time where there were many competitions and confrontations.

While the beginning of the Cold War is a subject of debate, one of the earliest events of the Cold War began in March 1946. During a speech given by Winston Churchill, he referred to the events in Eastern Europe by saying an “Iron Curtain” has formed over parts of Europe. This was in reference to the Soviet Union taking control of the Eastern European countries often without the people in these countries having a say in this happening.

After this speech, there were many instances where the United States worked to stop the spread of communism in Europe and in Asia.
