The Korean War was a proxy war because the North and the South of the country are fighting and the US and USSR are also involved. It was the first time that the two superpowers fought against each other in a third country.

The Korean War affected the US till this day, they changed the course of US and security policy. After the war, many alliances are still together and some countries are still enemies, like the US and Russia.
