The Cold War was never really a "war" to be exact and it was more of a race and a competition between Capitalism And Communism which led to the competitors having a tense rivalry, The cold war was also definitely a war of words and ideas because on many occasions threats were made between the U.S.A and Soviet Union. A way that the two super powers fought over strategic areas or places for resources in the war was without a doubt intimidation, the whole time of the cold war was spent using spies or intimidation tactics to learn about the enemies ideas and plans so that one superpower could one-up the other.

Stalin wanted the East to be purely Communist and wanted them to follow the Soviet and Communist ideals, and the truth was that Democracy far exceeded Communism. So to keep the people from revolting and trying to over throw the Communist Regime Stalin would not allow a majority Eastern Europe to have any contact with the West thus creating the "Iron Curtain". Many of these problems led to a rebellion in Hungary but we can get into that at a later date.

The United States created this policy using numerous strategies to prevent and contain the spread of Communism to other countries. This policy was a response to the Soviet Union expanding their Communist influence to China, Korea, and Vietnam.

The Korean War (1950-1953) began when Kim Il-Sung's Army crossed the 38th parallel into Non-Communist South Korea. The North Korean army which was armed with Soviet tanks and weapons quickly overran most of South Korea and would have completely taken the country if not for the aid from the U.S.A which within the 3 years of the war was able to push the North Koreans back the 38th Parallel.
