What kinds of conflicts resulted from the global confrontation between the two super powers?

The global confrontation between the two superpowers, primarily the United States and the Soviet Union, led to various conflicts, including proxy wars in regions like Korea, Vietnam, and Afghanistan, where each superpower supported opposing sides. These tensions also manifested in the arms race, marked by the development of nuclear arsenals, and ideological battles represented by the spread of communism versus capitalism.
