The Cold War ended with Joseph Stalin's death.

The statement is false because the end of the Cold War, which was a period of extensive tension and rivalry between the United States and the Soviet Union, was not directly caused by Joseph Stalin's death. While Stalin's death in 1953 did impact Soviet leadership and policies, it did not lead to a sudden resolution of the Cold War. The antagonism between the two superpowers continued for several more decades before culminating in the 1990s, with factors such as geopolitical shifts, economic challenges, and political changes within the Soviet Union contributing to its eventual collapse and the end of the Cold War.
