I think the Cold War went global because of technology. Advancement in communications, improved weaponry with longer ranges, as well as advancement in mass communications all contributed to the Cold War going global. That may or may not be the answer you were looking for, but it's a start. The Cold War was always global.... The Cold War itself was the struggle for global supremacy between the United States and the Soviet Union. Both superpowers tried to find allies to balance each other around the world. Balance of power politics have a long tradition. If one nation grew too powerful, a coalition of other nations would band together to prevent the one from getting too strong. A direct conflict between the two powers would have been unthinkable-nuclear weapons meant any large war would have been catastrophic. So, we changed the game-fighting proxy wars in various third world nations such as Korea and Vietnam, Angola, Guatemala, Cuba, and many other places.
The US and USSR were stockpiling nuclear weapons in a nonviolent arms race. There were enough weapons to kill all humans 12 times over, I think that's pretty much a global conflict, don't you think?
The cold war showed that communism will never work. There must be a democracy.

The Korean War proved to the Communists that the US was willing to spill it's own blood to stop them.
The main confrontation was the fact that the United States and the Soviet Union had such drastically different political and economic ideologies. The Cold War was the MAIN conflict, however, the Cold War in general can be very vague. More specifically, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and the Soviet war in Afghanistan.
World War I was a truly global conflict. Networks of alliances forced countries to become involved in the fighting, even if they did not directly have a stake in the conflict.
