Answer:

yes, the cold war between the United States and the Soviet Union and their respective allies, the Western Bloc and the Eastern Bloc, began followed after World War II.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Cold War [started in 1945] was a period of geopolitical tension between the United States and the Soviet Union and their respective allies, the Western Bloc and the Eastern Bloc, which began following World War II. The Cold War was important because it split the world into two rival sides that came into conflict with each other in a number of places around the world. This conflict has left us with, among other things, a giant arsenal of nuclear weapons, particularly in the US and Russia. The Cold War caused all sorts of conflicts to occur around the world.
