It led to indirect conflicts such as the War in Korea(1950-1953) and the War in Vietnam(1964-1974). Both involved superpowers in their attempt to influence the spread of communism.

Canada, the allied countries, and other Western Democracies were opposed to Soviet expansion in Europe and the spreading of communism throughout the world.  Canada had to work together with its geographically attached partner, to protect both nations, and pull Europe out of the Soviets rule.  The idea was to help countries in Europe be prepared in case of a Soviet invasion by helping the countries rebuild and get stronger. In the end, the plan was very successful (Herd).

Canada was an important power in the Cold War. It was one of the founding members of NATO. NATO, which stands for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, was a military alliance formed in 1949 by nations opposed to the Soviet Union and its allies. NATO was established as a collective defense. The idea is that the member states pledge to defend one another from an attack from an external state. Basically, the idea is: strength in numbers.

Canada contributed significantly to war efforts by helping to stop the spread of communism and making strong military alliance. Canada’s armed forces were the most engaged, and active responsive armed forces within NATO. Canada’s priority in NATO was to ensure that all allies remain modern and are able to face the threats during the time period (Sullivan).

The Soviet Union was a communist nation that was based on the principles of socialism or collectivism. On the other hand, the United States was a modern liberal democracy nation based primarily on the principles of individualism. This difference in ideology was a major source of the conflict between the two nations because throughout the Cold War, United States sought to stop the Soviet Union from expanding communism to other regions by its policy of containment(Cause of the Cold War).

Many historians view the Yalta and Potsdam Conferences as the start of the Cold War since they highlighted the growing mistrust and tensions between Truman of the United States and Stalin of the Soviet Union.
The purpose of the Yalta conference was to decide what to do with Germany once it had been defeated. The hope was that the 3 allied leaders (Franklin D. Roosevelt, Winston Churchill and Joseph Stalin) could agree on how they would divide Europe after WW11. The purpose of Potsdam Conference was for the three Allied powers to begin discussing how to handle the defeat of Nazi Germany and how the world would carry on after the war.
These Conferences are now viewed as a major event in the Cold War as well, because it highlighted the divide between Stalin and the other two leaders. Also, Harry S.  Truman (he replaced Roosevelt as president of U.S after Roosevelt died) made Stalin aware of the American atomic weapons program (Manhattan Project) & that the Americans had developed the world's first atomic bomb (Cause of the Cold War).

In 1948, the Soviets had installed left-wing governments in the countries of eastern Europe that had been liberated by the Red Army. The British and American people feared the permanent Soviet domination of eastern Europe, and the threat of Soviet-influenced communist parties coming to power in the democracies of western Europe. The Soviets were determined to maintain control of eastern Europe in order to safeguard against any possible renewed threat from Germany. Also, they were intending on spreading communism worldwide - largely for ideological reasons (Cold War).

It was the tense relationship between the United States (and its allies), and the Soviet Union (the USSR and its allies) between the end of WWII and the fall of the Soviet Union. It is called the "Cold" War because the US and the USSR never actually fought each other directly (Cold War).
