Named wars fought from 1945 onward: the Cold War, post-colonial and post-Cold War era of the First Indochina War, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Arab-Israeli wars and the Gulf War this atlas currently carries. Belongs here: a named war whose fighting began in 1945 or later. Does not belong here: a war that began before 1945 even if its fighting or its consequences ran past that year, which belongs to Modern instead, since placement follows the war own start-year.
