The Chinese Army was actively fighting UN (United Nations) forces, while the Soviets were equipping the Chinese and the North Koreans with weaponry.
While the Soviet Union was not directly involved in the Korean War, it did provide supplies and other aid to the North Koreans. Some soviet citizens even served as volunteers in the North Korean military.
These events are examples of US involvement in conflicts during the Cold War era. The Cuban Missile Crisis occurred when the US discovered Soviet missile installations in Cuba, leading to a tense standoff. The Korean War involved the US supporting South Korea against communist North Korea and its ally, China. In Vietnam, the US intervened to prevent the spread of communism, ultimately getting involved in a lengthy and controversial conflict.
The Soviet Union did not directly enter the Korean War because Stalin sought to avoid a direct confrontation with the United States, fearing it could escalate into a larger conflict. Instead, he supported Mao Zedong's entry into the war to strengthen the communist position in Asia and counter U.S. influence, while maintaining plausible deniability for Soviet involvement. By urging Mao to act, Stalin aimed to bolster communist solidarity without risking Soviet troops in a potentially catastrophic war.
That policy is called the 'containment policy'. It led to the US involvement in the Korean and Vietnam wars, among others.

The Korean War was the FIRST "Hot" battle of the Cold War.
While the Soviet Union was not directly involved in the Korean War, it did provide supplies and other aid to the North Koreans. Some soviet citizens even served as volunteers in the North Korean military.
The Cold War between the Soviet Union and the Western powers started in 1945 at the end of World War II and lasted until the end of the Soviet Union in 1991. Australia's most direct involvement in this conflict occurred during the Korean and Vietnam Wars.

cold war
No. The cold war was a longer-term conflict than the Korean War. The Cold War refers to long-term conflict and competition between the United States and the Soviet Union. While the two superpowers did not typically engage in direct battles, there were a number of wars/armed conflicts where the two superpowers supported opposing sides. The Korean War is an example of one such conflict, where the Soviet Union supported North Korea and the United States supported South Korea.
China and Soviet Russia were allies at the time. there were Russian technical officers in the North Korean armed forces, the so-called Blue Eyed Koreans. This was before the Sino-Soviet split in the later days of Chairman Mao, who clearly espoused an independent Chinese brand of Communist rule!
No. Such conflict was basically part of the Cold War between NATO forces on one side, and Chinese and Soviet forces on the other.
