Best Answer

The average man & women on the streets in the 1950s called it, "oh...you mean that war in Korea..."

It was the worlds first "limited war" (limited to conventional weapons only). The atomic bomb was only 5 years old when Korea erupted. The A-Bomb created the cold war...thus the "limited war."
