Was The cold war was a struggle for word power between the US and the soviet?

The Cold War began as World War II was ending. American leaders saw the power and ambitions of the Soviet Union as a threat to our national security. The Cold War was a war of words and ideologies rather than a shooting war, although at times the Cold War turned “hot” as in Korea and Vietnam. Basically, the Cold War was a rivalry between the United States as leader of the western democracies, and the Soviet Union and the nations that were controlled by the communists.


What is the meaning of the Cold War for Korea?

Cold War means "no violence or no shooting." WAR is a series of battles. Very seldom is one battle a war. A Hot War is a shooting war. The Korean War was the first "Hot Battle" of the cold war. Korea was the FIRST violent clash between the Communist World and the Free World. It ended in a draw, or at least the communists were STOPPED at the 38th Parallel. The Vietnam War was the second "Hot Battle" of the cold war. The communists won that war.


What did the Korean War have to do the Cold War?

The Korean war was caused by communist North Korea invading democratic South Korea, so it's the spread of Communism. The U.S intervened and fought communist Chinese (and Soviet) troops to end the war. So it is a part of the Cold War because it's one of the little occasions that the U.S fought communist troops.
