The Aldinean Cold War, sometimes referred to as the Ambrose-Sjealand Cold War, Aldinean Conflict or the Ambrose-Sjealand Conflict is the ongoing struggle for influence and hegemony in Aldinea, the Lazarene Sea and parts of Sirklant and Miklea between the Archkingdom of Sjealand and Confederal Republic of Ambrose. The two countries are regional and great powers and both are the leaders of two respective networks of alliances, Sjealand leading the West Aldinean Defence Organisation and Ambrose the Golden Circle Pact. The two countries have provided varying degrees of support to opposing sides in conflicts across the world, including the War in Weichtal and the War in North Alaouasem.

Beginning in the early 1970's with the War of the Njord and the Engatian Split, the cold war has drawn significant lines between Aldinean states and even those abroad, as the two blocs have sought to extend their influence at the cost of the other. Despite a brief détente the conflict is now at the hottest it has ever been, being waged on multiple levels over geopolitical, economic and cultural influence, with the end goal being dominance of Aldinea, and regional economic hegemony.

While many people sea it as a conflict between the generally monarchist Sjealand and the republican Ambrose, the conflict has many more layers, with WADO including and supporting republics and the GCP aiding various monarchies. Generally the conflict can be seen as a conflict between traditionally mercantile states like Sjealand with globalised economies against more inland states with more autarkic goals.
