No actual war; no shooting; no killing; NOT A WAR. The term cold war was a simple and easy term to use. The cold war was actually "the years of stalemate" between the communist world and the free world...but as you can see it doesn't have a "ring" to it...Cold War is easier to say, easier to remember, and sounds alot better.
The Cold War was a war of ideologies, as are most wars, but there was no combat involved.
The Cold War was between the USA and her allies and the USSR and her allies. Began in 1945 when neither superpower needed the other to defeat Nazi Germany and Facism.
From the mid 1940's-1990 America and Russia were at war yet no arms were actually used. This led to agresion such as the Cuban missile crises but they were nothing but threats. It's called the Cold War because ni shots were fired
When WWII ended George Orwell used the term 'Cold War' in his essay "You and the Atomic Bomb" (published in Oct 1945). The essay was about living in a world with the threat of nuclear warfare. He eluded to 'a peace that is no peace' which he labeled a permanent 'COLD WAR'. He referred to a battle of ideologies between communism (Russia) and the Western powers of capitalism.
The first to include the USA in the 'cold war' was Bernard Baruch who was a Presidential adviser, he delivered a speech in South Carolina in April of '47 saying "Let us not be deceived, we are today in the midst of a cold war". But Walter Lippmann gave the term the largest exposure with his book "Cold War" in '47
So while there was never a 'true' war the tensions and back door battles between communism and capitalism were continuous. The Marxist socialist ideologies invariably attempted to impose their will, including by force, upon often unwilling populations. They resorted to force in many cases to accomplish this.
I hope this helps
a state of rivalry or tension between two sides.
a war against communist
I assume the term Hot War is meant to be in contrast to the term Cold War. Hot wars, in relationship to the Cold War, is any type of conflict which has actual conflict resulting in violence and possible death in an open and overt arena.
Words. Words are the weaponry of a cold war. The term "Cold War" means "no shooting".

The term "hot war" should, and was intended to be used, only in conjunction with the term "cold war." Meaning that a "cold war" is a non-shooting war; and a "hot war" is a shooting war. Extra examples: 1. People die in "hot wars." 2. People do not die in "cold wars." (accidents don't count).
No, stalemate is a chess term, meaning an end with no winner. As long as the Cold War lasted and both sides were still able to one-up each other, it was not a stalemate.

A war against communism, 1948-1994
The period of tension and rivalry between communist nations and noncommunist nations ends.
The term "hot war" was only used in conjuction with the term "cold war." Cold war meaning no war; hot war meaning a war.
Cold War means a military stand-off. If there is no war war between two countries, and then they fight, then it is a regular war (which may have to be called a hot war, since everyone is now familiar with the term cold war). The term cold war had NO MEANING until atomic weapons were invented in 1945. The term cold war was first used in 1947.
The Cold War.
Korea was a "hot" portion of the "cold" war. No one died during the "Cold War" because NO WAR was fought. Cold War meant NO WAR. Cold War=Military Standoff. Cold War was just a "Term" for not shooting at each other, but ready to push the buttons once they got the word to do so. The Korean War was a war, like any other shooting, killing, destroying war. It just so happened to be the FIRST war (Besides Indochina) of the Atomic Age involving the US.
Since the cold war wasn't actually a war (it was a TERM), nothing was destroyed.
Words. Words are the weaponry of a cold war. The term "Cold War" means "no shooting".
the long TERM effect was the CoLd WaR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The term effects of the Cold War is the Americans and Russians are scared to launch their nuclear missiles at each other.
It wasn't a war. It was called a war due to the lack of an easier term to say. The cold war meant "no shooting, no killing"...if it was a real shooting war, it would've been a hot war (guns get hot when fired and fire is hot). The cold war was an arm's race; one upmanship on the other. It was brought on by the atomic bomb in 1945 and lasted until the Soviet Union became Russia again in 1990.
