What were all the wars or battles during the Cold War?

Answer 1

Well many wars dozens really. But the main ones were the Korean War, Vietnam War, the Soviet-Afghan war. There were many wars where the USSR and the USA didn't directly fight. There were the Arab Israeli conflicts where the US backed Israel and the Soviets backed the Arabs. The Arabs and the Israelis fought the first time when the nation of Israel was established, during the six day war and the Yom kippur war. Also there were many American CIA operations and US Military intervention.

Answer 2

The only "cold war" (communism vs free world) conflicts were Korea & Vietnam. There were dozens of short duration/brush wars that were not involved with the cold war; such as the Middle East wars (Southwest Asia)...Israel vs Jordan, Syria, Egypt, etc. in 1967, 1973. Numerous rebellions against White rule in Africa (the Belgium Congo, South Africa, etc). Rebellions in Santo Domingo, etc. Minor uprisings in Central/South America etc.

Answer 3

The Cold War was basically a war of words between the U.S. (capitalism) and the Soviet Union (communism, now known as Russia). Both countries kept threatening to nuke each other, but nobody actually nuked anything.

However, some battles did occur during the Cold War because of Soviet Union's race to dominate the world with communism and U.S.'s constant motive to prevent the spread of communism.

Some of these communist-versus-non-communist fights include:

Chinese Civil War (1945-1949)

Korean War (1950-1953)

Vietnam War (1957-1973)

Nicaraguan Civil War (1979-1990)

In the Chinese, Korean, and Vietnam Wars, Soviet Union helped the northern Communists side while the U.S. helped the southern Nationalist side.

Answer 4

Too many to name them all, but the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Malayan Emergency, the Cuban Revolution, the Soviet-Afghan War were some of them.
