The two primary proxy wars during the Cold War were the Korean War (1950-1953) and the Vietnam War (1955-1975). In Korea, North Korea, supported by the Soviet Union and China, fought against South Korea, backed by the United States and UN forces. In Vietnam, the communist North, supported by the USSR and China, battled the South, which was backed by the United States and its allies, leading to significant military and civilian casualties and long-lasting effects in the region. Both conflicts exemplified the ideological struggle between communism and capitalism.

How were the proxy wars of east Asia different than those of the middle east and Afghanistan?

The Proxy Wars in Southeast Asia, East Asia, and Afghanistan actively pitted Communist guerrillas or armies (supported by the Soviets and Chinese - Communist-bloc) against Capitalist/Fascist dictatorships (supported by the US and NATO - Capitalist-bloc). Conversely, the Proxy Wars in the Middle East did not involve Communist guerrillas, but rather the Communist-bloc stood by Arab Socialism and the Capitalist-bloc stood by Israel and convenient other allies.The other major difference is that the Proxy Wars in Southeast Asia and East Asia were, by and large, successful for the Communist-bloc, but the Proxy Wars in the Middle East were, by and large, successful for the Capitalist-bloc.

The Soviet-Afghan War is another one along with countless revolutions.


How many men died in the cold war?

The cold war itself was just that - a cold war. No men died. The two competing super powers, Soviet Union, and the United States, had nuclear weapons. Neither of them fought directly to avoid destroying the Earth. Instead they fought through proxy wars. Or wars were either side would support one side and then the reverse. These two proxy wars were the Vietnam war and the Korean War. 50,000 men died in the Vietnam War and 33,000 died in the Korean war.
