Repere ale Războiului Rece. Sintagma care a înlocuit cel de-al Treilea Război Mondial
References Of The Cold War. The Collocation That Substituted The Third World War

Summary/Abstract: The postwar historiography assesses that the Cold War started from the years of world armed conflict between 1939-1945, thus consolidating the character neither of peace nor war, but better expressed by means of the phrase - armed peace. André Fontaine sustained the fact according to which „the Cold War started at the same time with the appearance of Soviet Russia, being a conflict between capitalism and communism”. After the second World War the international relations were marked by the lack of reconciliation and union of Europe and, consequently, with the participation of Germany, Western powers determined the release of armed forces along with the industries of arms. What seemed at the beginning less important arguments and controversies that led to rivalries between Soviet people and Anglo-Saxon allies had proved, in fact, to be a series of ideological, political, strategic contradictions that determined the formation of a real gulf between East and West. The Cold War altered international relations and, in time, the postwar world divided itself into various spheres of influence and dominance. The outcome was the realization of military pacts and economic groups that caused the world scission.
