Capitalising cold war

Hi,

Should cold war be capitalized if it's in the middle of the sentence. Like: The Cold War is over.

Or are small letter (cold war) ok?

Thank you.

(cold war) a state of political hostility between countries characterized by threats, propaganda, and other measures short of open warfare, in particular. (the Cold War) The state of political hostility that existed between the Soviet bloc countries and the US-led Western powers from 1945 to 1990.
