During the Cold War, the United States and the Soviet Union knew that they would be unable to fight each other outright for fear of killing each other in mutually assured destruction. As a result, they found existent conflicts around the world and picked sides. They would then use these conflicts as proxy wars by helping their selected side in the conflict. The Arab-Israeli Conflict was one of the conflicts chosen by the US and the USSR in their proxy wars. The US supported Israel. The USSR supported the Arab League.
Any conflict past 1990 (the end of the cold war).
Both the Korean War and the Cold War were at issue with Communist expansion. The only one not at issue with Communism is the Afghanistan conflict.
The Cold War, then Vietnam.
The Vietnam conflict was a type of proxy war, in that our Cold War foe, Russia, heavily subsidized Communist North Vietnam in their fight with U.S. forces.
The Cold War was global from its inception. The USSR and the US were both large, powerful countries with global interests, so any conflict between the two would necessarily be global in scope.
A Cold War
The growing conflict in Korea was a microcosm of the overall Cold War as there was no direct armed conflict.
Cold War
First it isn't called the cold war. The Cold war was the political conflict between the USSR and the US. At the end of the war the USSR broke up. Georgia and Russia were two of the new countries formed. People are afraid that the conflict could spark a second cold war
It was a fight about democracy and communism. That is what the cold war was about.
Eastern Europe experienced the greatest conflict.
At Yalta, the US asked the USSR to declare war on Japan. Russia wanted Korea as its reward. Instead Korea was divided in half, the People's Republic of North Korea and the Republic of South Korea. In 1950, Communist North Korea invaded the South.
