The term "hot war" should, and was intended to be used, only in conjunction with the term "cold war." Meaning that a "cold war" is a non-shooting war; and a "hot war" is a shooting war. Extra examples: 1. People die in "hot wars." 2. People do not die in "cold wars." (accidents don't count).
Vietnam was a shooting war (a hot war). A cold war is a NON-shooting war; a cold war is a "stand-off" between two (or more) adversaries. Technically, Vietnam, being part of the cold war...communism verses the free world...the Vietnam War was a "Hot BATTLE" of the cold war.
I assume the term Hot War is meant to be in contrast to the term Cold War. Hot wars, in relationship to the Cold War, is any type of conflict which has actual conflict resulting in violence and possible death in an open and overt arena.
The two major players in the Cold War were the US and the Soviet Union. These two nations did not have battles or real wars during the Cold War years. Other conflicts among smaller communist nations, and a large one, China, were related to the Cold War. Wars in Korea and Vietnam can be considered wars with roots in the Cold War.
The Cold War resulted in the Korean War and the Vietnam War.
A Hot War is physical actions while a Cold War is just threatening talk.
The Korean War (1950-1953) & The Vietnam War (1961-1975) were "Hot" battles of the "Cold War."

There were many more than just two, but Korea and Vietnam were the largest and most serious of the Cold War 'skirmishes."
A hot war is actual fighting (actual killing). A cold war is not a war at all; the name "cold war" was simply a TERM chosen to title the "military stand-off" between the free world and the communist world.

vietnam war and the cold war
The cold war didn't go hot; if it did, it would've been called World War III. Therefore, there were two hot "battles" of the cold war; Korea and Vietnam. But Korea is not located in SEA (South East Asia); Korea is up the coast bordering Russia/China. Some people sometimes call them "hot wars" of the cold war. Korea & Vietnam were the "shooting portions" of the cold war.
Best phrase politicians could come up with at the time to separate it from "hot" wars. Cold War=No War Hot War=Shooting War
