The cold war essentially began after WW2. The only major political and military powers left after the end of WW2 were the United States and the USSR. Since these 2 were the only major powers and they were at war it is in my opinion a World War. Like for example, in WW2 did Honduras do anything? Yet it was considered a world war because all the major players were involved. The cold war had the major players cause everyone else was too busy trying to rebuild themselves.
I hold the dubious honor of being the only person never modded who has also never been to a party who in the past had a shared account with a vegetable reference that has had consensual sex with a woman who wasn't from the board that also knows what >) means and remembers the end of the golden age.
