Korea, after World War II, split into two major parties. The North favored communism, while the South favored capitalism. Since these were the major economical beliefs of the U.S.S.R and the U.S. As a result, to prove that the U.S was better than the U.S.S.R, the U.S gave support to South Vietnam. The U.S.S.R trying to do the same gave support to North Vietnam. This allowed both sides to go to war with the two major superpowers backing them up.

After World War II, Vietnam was divided between two parties that were fighting for control. The U.S and the U.N indirectly battled the U.S.S.R by having South Vietnam and North Vietnam fight. The U.S and U.N backed South Vietnam for its political beliefs, and the U.S.S.R supported North Vietnam for their political beliefs. After 20 years of fighting North Vietnam captured the capital of South Vietnam and the war ended.

The Vietnam war was an open conflict. Since the U.S and U.S.S.R had direct involvement in the war, and deployed troops to fight, this was a conflict involving both of the super powers. This war lasted for just under 20 years, meaning at many times, the world could have seen WW3.
