Why the Cold War was not considered a hot war?

# data[].attributes.body
The Cold War was a cold war because the Soviets and US were the two main powers, but they never actually fought each other directly.

# data[].attributes.body
The Korean War was fought because Northern Korea wanted to be a communist country, but Southern Korea wanted to be democratic.

# data[].attributes.body
The US was allied with South Korea and was helping it rebuild. The US wanted to contain communism and spread democracy, so they supported South Korea. They feared a domino effect where Korea fell, causing Japan to fall, which would hurt trade between the US and Japan.

August 14, 1945: Japan surrenders, ending WWI. Officials decide where the dividing line is between Soviet and US control, creating the 38th parallel
This is significant because the 38th parallel would become the dividing point between North and South Korea and their militaries during the war.

August 15, 1945: The Republic of Korea (South) is established. Less than a month later, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North) is formed
This is significant because the creation of the two different republics would lead to disagreement on what type of government should be used. This disagreement is what started the Korean War.

June 25, 1950: Roughly 100,000 North Korean troops cross the 38th parallel, signaling the beginning of the Korean War

December 6, 1950: US Marines at the Chosin Reservoir begin their attack. Two Chinese armies have been given the task of destroying the 1st Marine Division. They are successful in driving the US troops out of North Korea.
This is significant because about 80,000 Chinese troops were killed or wounded and the CPVF Ninth Army Group is left combat-ineffective for months.

July 27, 1953: The Korean Armistice Agreement is signed, officially ending the Korean War. North and South Korea remain separated and stay different government types.

The Soviet Union wanted communism to spread, so they supported North Korea. They planned invasions of South Korea and provided diplomatic, strategic, and logistical support.

# data[].attributes.body
The Korean War is a part of the Cold War because the Soviets and US used North and South Korea as surrogates for their causes. North Korea fought for communism (Soviet Union) and South Korea fought for democracy (US). The effects of the war can still be seen today in a couple of different ways. North Korea and South Korea are still two different nations, separated by the 38th parallel. North Korea is a dictatorship, while South Korea is a democratic state. Following the war, China and North Korea stayed allies, while the US and South Korea are still allies today.

After 3 years of fighting, all the countries involved agreed to stop fighting. One effect of the war was the Korean Armistice Agreement was signed creating the demilitarized zone that now separates North and South Korea. Another effect is that North Korea became a dictatorship and South Korea became a democratic state.
