The term Cold War refers to a sustained, lengthy state of political and military unrest between national powers. It is distinguished from "hot" war, a large scale armed conflict between two competing states.
Background[]
Due to Fallout's divergence shortly after World War II, the actual events of the Cold War are not specified, beyond the foundation of Raven Rock close to its beginning.[Non-game 1] 
The Vietnam War was one of these proxy wars that saw both anti- and pro-communist forces battling for supremacy over their political ideals.[Non-canon 1]

Originally known as 'Site R,' Raven Rock was designed at the beginning of the Cold War as a shelter for top military officials. It has served as the base of operations for the Enclave since the government's remaining forces retreated there. This is only accessible during Main Quest: The American Dream; it is otherwise impenetrable. The following section reflects the order you will visit each interior location."
