War where the two principal parties do not fight each other. US and USSR never fought a direct war with each other. The "hot" war would have been hotter than any other conflict due to nuclear stockpiles on both sides. This conflict thankfully never took place, other wise many would have experienced a war with"hot' temperatures of 2,000 F from nuclear war. The two used proxy armies to fight each other. USSR used Vietnam and Cuba against US. The US returned the favor in Afghanistan.

*The* Cold War refers to the period of hostitility between the USA and the USSR between 1945 and 1990.
*A* cold war (note lower-case letters) refers to hostitility between any two or more states or power blocs, hostility short of armed warfare. The period in Europe leading to the Great War could probably be referred to as a cold war.
