Historiography of the Cold War

Historiography of the Cold War is the study of how historians have written about the Cold War. The Cold War was a period of time between 1945 and 1991, when the United States and the Soviet Union were in a state of political and military tension. During this time, historians have tried to make sense of what happened and what the consequences of the Cold War were. Historians have written about the events that occurred during the Cold War and have looked at the impact of this period on the world. This has been done by studying political, military, and economic documents, as well as interviews with people who lived through this time. Historians also look at cultural aspects of the Cold War, such as how it affected literature and art. By looking at all these different sources, historians can develop a better understanding of what happened during the Cold War.
