the korean war
The Korean War was one of the larger conflicts of the Cold War, along with the Vietnamese War (which lasted a lot longer).
It was called the 'cold' war because it never erupted into actual war or fighting between Russia and its allies and the US and its allies. But closely linked to the Cold War was the USA's "Containment policy" drawn up by president Truman in the late Fourties. This policy held that Communism must be contained to only the countries were it was in power at the time. It was this policy that in the Fifties led to the Korean war and in the Sixties to the Vietnam war.
