A Cold War differs from a conventional war primarily in that it does not involve direct military conflict between opposing nations but rather a prolonged period of political tension, ideological rivalry, and economic competition. During a Cold War, countries often engage in proxy wars, espionage, and Propaganda while avoiding direct military engagement to prevent escalation into a full-scale war. The Cold War is characterized by the struggle for influence and power, particularly between superpowers, rather than battles over territory or resources typical of conventional wars.
