The influence of the cold war:
1. The Cold War brought long-term confrontation and confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union and between the East and the West, hindered the development of global integration, and also split Germany and North Korea, triggering a local war.
2. In the cold war environment, because the United States and the Soviet Union are evenly matched and both sides are trying their best to avoid war, a new large-scale war (World War III) has been avoided for half a century.
3. Countries with different social systems have learned from each other in different degrees in the long-term existence and used them for internal adjustment and reform, which has promoted the overall development of the world.
4. Facing the bipolar confrontation, developing countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America formed the Non-Aligned Movement (Group of 77), which gradually developed and grew, and the third world rose accordingly.
5. It promoted the formation of multipolarization of the world pattern and the development of the third scientific and technological revolution.

In addition, Churchill visited the United States in 1946, during which he delivered a famous "iron curtain" speech: "From Szczecin on the Baltic Sea to the riverside on the Adriatic Sea, an iron curtain across the European continent has been pulled down."

Not only through war, the so-called "hot war", but also relying on all forms of anti-socialist activities except military confrontation, which are manifested in the formation of military groups, arms races, the establishment of military bases abroad, interference in other countries' internal affairs, and fostering agents to carry out local wars.
