During the Cold War, several "hot wars" were fought in various regions, primarily as proxy conflicts influenced by the superpowers. Key examples include the Korean War (1950-1953), where North Korea, backed by China and the USSR, fought against South Korea and UN forces led by the United States. The Vietnam War (1955-1975) also exemplified Cold War tensions, with North Vietnam supported by communist allies and South Vietnam backed by the U.S. Other notable conflicts include the Soviet-Afghan War (1979-1989) and various conflicts in Africa and Latin America, where both superpowers sought to expand their influence.
