A Cold War is a war where actual military force is not used. Instead, all parties involved utilise politics, propaganda, trade tariffs and various other methods to discredit and demoralise the enemy without actually using soliders or weapons.
A Cold War may lead to a Hot War where weapons and troops are deployed. The best example of a Cold War is the one between America and Russia. If you want more info, the best site is probably Wikipedia

By definition, the Cold War is: A conflict over ideological differences between the United States and the Soviet Union and their allies lasting from the late 1940s until the early 1990s and carried on by methods short of sustained military action.

it's the term used to describe the US-USSR tensions from the 50s into the 90s. In general, it means an international state of tension that has the potential to become a war, but fails to do so due to concerns on both sides about the cost and devastation a total war would incur.
