Cold War


 * There is also a short story and a comic strip story with this name.

The Cold War was a term used to denote the tensions between the democratic nations of the world (particularly the United States and the United Kingdom) and the Communist nations of the world (particularly the Soviet Union) in which, though the tensions were high, no actual fighting occurred.

Behind the Scenes
Both Invasion of the Dinosaurs and Robot imply that the Cold War was already over at the time those stories took place. However, in Goth Opera by Paul Cornell Tegan Jovanka, who comes from the year 1981 notes when visiting 1994, that the Cold War has now ended.
