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.

It was this policy that in the Fifties led to the Korean War and in the Sixties to the Vietnam war.
