Korea & Vietnam were full scaled LIMITED wars (no nukes) against communism during the cold war. Cuba was covert, with operations extending into Central and South America, led by one of Castro's most able Lieutenants (See: Che Gueverra). The only time Cuba nearly went "hot" was during the Cuban Missile Crisis of '62; and that confrontation was against the Soviet Union...not Cuba. The Soviets backed down...obviously, no nuclear war occurred.
