The Korean War, a proxy war, was the first military event of the Cold War. It was a fight between the ideologies of the USSR and US as much as it was a fight between the North and South Koreans. We know it was a proxy war because the two Koreas were sponsored by the US and USSR. This war still affected the Cold War because it gave both the US and the USSR an idea of proxy wars, and it affects us today because of how it split Korea in two.
