The Cold War's alliances played a crucial role in global politics, shaping the geopolitical landscape through organizations like NATO and the Warsaw Pact. These alliances provided security for smaller states, deterred aggression, and fostered cooperation in military, economic, and scientific fields. The formation and dissolution of these alliances reflected the ideological battle between the US and the Soviet Union, influencing events such as the Prague Spring and the Vietnam War.
