the cold war was the main conflict on the world after WW2 was over. It represents the fight between capitalism and communism, freedom of speech and repression. Stalin, name of the Soviet Union leader, and that means "iron" wanted to expand the power of the SU over all the world. The United States, the only power that could stop it began a serie of plans and operations on the world to protect weaker countries of the soviet amenaze. The Truman plan, named in honor of that president, was basically that. The NATO, North Atlantic Treaty Organization was a organization of what took place US allies to protect peace on Europe( to keep russians out america and the germans down). The european split was basically that eastern europe became controled by the Soviets( example: West germany was capitalist, East germany communist). Two importants examples of the conflict on the cold war are the afganistan war, were US bringed support to that country againts the Soviets and the Vietnam war. The cuba crisis is the best example of how tense things were.
Good Luck
