The Korean War (1950-1953) & The Vietnam War (1961-1975) were "Hot" battles of the "Cold War."

World War 1 and World War 2 And we cannot leave out the Cold War
Vietnam was part of the COLD WAR. It was fought to stop the spread of communism.
The Atomic Age created the cold war. With nuclear weapons, total wars (such as WW2) could no longer be fought. Only limited wars such as the Korean War and Vietnam Wars could be fought. Limited to only CONVENTIONAL weapons (Non-nuclear).
For the 20th Century: The Russian-Japanese War of 1904-1905 was fought over imperialism for both countries. WWII in Asia/Pacific was fought over imperialism on Japan's part. The Korean War 1950-1953 was part of the "cold war", and was fought to stem the tide of communism. The Vietnam War 1961-1975 was part of the "cold war", and was fought to stem the tide of communism.
They were both part of the cold war.
Atomic weapons caused the cold war. Only LIMITED wars; limited to non-nuclear weapons could be fought during the cold war. TOTAL war would involve nukes.
There are lots of wars all the time, particularly civil wars, but the major war which followed the Cold War is known as the War On Terror; the wars in both Iraq and Afghanistan are part of that larger struggle against international terrorism.
