Cold War means "no violence or no shooting." WAR is a series of battles. Very seldom is one battle a war. A Hot War is a shooting war. The Korean War was the first "Hot Battle" of the cold war. Korea was the FIRST violent clash between the Communist World and the Free World. It ended in a draw, or at least the communists were STOPPED at the 38th Parallel. The Vietnam War was the second "Hot Battle" of the cold war. The communists won that war.
