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.
