The two major players in the Cold War were the US and the Soviet Union. These two nations did not have battles or real wars during the Cold War years. Other conflicts among smaller communist nations, and a large one, China, were related to the Cold War. Wars in Korea and Vietnam can be considered wars with roots in the Cold War.
The growing conflict in Korea was a microcosm of the overall Cold War as there was no direct armed conflict.
No nation dropped an atomic weapon during the cold war. The cold war is not the same as World War 2. Two atomic bombs were dropped on Japan by the US at the end of World War 2. The cold war is called 'cold' because it was not an actual armed conflict. It was a period marked by a conflict of ideologies, propaganda and fear.
It is war and war is still going on.
Technically, "Peace". But you're probably looking for the term "cold war", which was actually an arms race between two sets of atomic weapon armed nations; which never fought each other with their military forces (there never was a WWIII). You really cannot use the term "cold war" to describe any "war without direct military conflict" because then all peaceful times thru out history could be called "cold wars." This particular cold war (1945-1990) was strictly between the nuclear armed communist nations and the free world, led by the US.
Korean War, was a proxy war.

The Cold War

The cold war is called 'cold' because it was not an actual armed conflict. It was a period marked by a conflict of ideologies, propaganda and fear.
The Cold War was called "cold" not for literal reasons, but for figurative reasons. No battles occurred that ended up in bloodshed; the conflict never got "hot", a military term for weapons and troops being armed for battle.
It is war and war is still going on.
Cold war was a war of threats, politics between democratic west and communist east. It was caused by the end of WWII with the emergence of two super powers America and the USSR, and their opposing ideologies. It was called a cold war because there were no occasions of direct armed conflict between the super powers.
WAR
"Non"=Not "War"=Armed Conflict "Armed"=Carrying or bearing arms (weapons) "Action"=Combat/Military engagement
The law of armed conflict is also called the law of war. It was developed to protect civilians, the sick and wounded, prisoners of war, and those who are shipwrecked.
