How is the end of the Korean war related to the cold war?

Cold War is when US and USSR is fighting on the economic functions (capitalism, communism). Korean War started because USSR wanted to spread Communism to the Pacific. Why? USSR was a group of Communist countries and same with US (they had NATO, USSR had something called Warsaw Union) so the more members, the bigger they become. When China and Northern Korea (North didn't exist yet officially) attacked south, US and UN stopped them from conquering the peninsula. So the Korean War is started, and is, officially, going (although the armistice was signed, it didn't end)
