### From Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia written in simple English for easy reading.

The Free World is a term that was during the era of the Cold War often used by non-communist nations to describe themselves. The it should express the greater personal freedom of citizens of non-communist countries that called themselves democratic, such as the United States and Western Europe, compared with the Soviet Union and its East European allies.

On the other hand many non-communist states that were allied with the "Free World" during the Cold War, for example in South America, Asia and Africa were repressive and dictatorial. The President of the United States was often called the "leader of the Free World", particularly in the United States itself.
