CEVAP:

Hanhimaki (2012) divides Europe’s Cold War into three periods:

• The first was from 1945 to the early 1960s, during which the division of the continent took place. This period also coincided with the era of decolonization.
• The second was from the early 1960s to the mid-1970s, the period of the rise of détente and the relative stabilization of Europe.
• The last period was from the mid-1970s to the late 1980s, during which the Cold War affected every region on earth. Finally, the Soviet Union collapsed and the Cold War ended in 1989-1991. Europe had thus experienced the beginning, maturity, and the end of the Cold War.
