The Korean war was a part of a larger Cold War because the North and the South fought for governmental power, communism, and capitalism. The United States and the USSR were constantly in battle through a surrogate war. The United States and the USSR fought each side in order to keep capitalism and communism in Korea. The Cold War is connected to the present day through the lasting effects of war, mostly between the communist and capitalist countries.
