The cold war between the Soviet Union, her client States, along with China, and North Korea, North Vietnam vs the United States and her allies, including the ones in NATO all had negative affects for the entire world.
It was an arms race, a case of bad diplomatic relations and political conflicts between all of the nations involved, both internal allies and external foes all paid a heavy price for the failure to find a real Peace after World War Two.
With regards to military conflicts, the Korean War, The Vietnam War and even the military action in Grenada were all due to the Cold War.
The cold war was NEVER FOUGHT! The cold war was an arm's race. If there had really been a war; it never would have been called a "Cold War." It would have been called WWIII (an atomic war).
because people who fought the cold war hated democracy

The Korean War was one of the larger conflicts of the Cold War, along with the Vietnamese War (which lasted a lot longer).
The extremely short version of the answer to your question is this: The Cold War was the struggle between the United States and Russia that began at the end of WWII and ended with the fall of the USSR in 1991. The Cold War was neither particularly "cold" nor was it a "war" fought on a traditional battlefield. Instead, it was a war fought by proxy, most notably in Vietnam.
Both wars were fought against communism.
The fifties had more conflicts regarding the Cold War in Europe.

The last true war against people other than terrorists was our invasion of Iraq. if you don't consider that to be a real war, then it would be the Gulf War, where we stopped Saddam Husein from taking over Kuwait.
both are conflicts.
Though they were never formally termed "wars" (which requires a declaration by Congress) the Korean War and Vietnam War were the 2 major conflicts during the Cold War in which Western nations fought in regional battles against Communist forces, to prevent expansion.
A war that was never fought.
