The Cold War   It started in 1945 just after WW2 ended and lasted for about 45 years. During WW2, tensions between the USA and the USSR were growing as Stalin and Truman worked with Churchill to defeat the Nazi's, and then decide how they were going to deal with the defeated Germany at the Potsdam conference.

In the second clip we watched the adults were represented differen...
