The Cold War (Russian: Холодная Война Kholodnaya Voina) was the protracted geopolitical, ideological, and economic struggle that emerged after World War II between capitalism and communism, centering around the global superpowers of the Soviet Union and the United States, and their military alliance partners.
Instead, the "war" took the form of an arms race involving nuclear and conventional weapons, networks of military alliances, economic warfare and trade embargos, propaganda, espionage and proxy wars, especially those involving superpower support for opposing sides within civil wars.
The end of the Cold War did not resolve the problem of international control of nuclear energy, and it reemerged as a factor in the beginning of the Long War declared by the United States in 2006 as its official military doctrine.

VIETNAM WAR [Vietnam War] conflict in Southeast Asia, primarily fought in South Vietnam between government forces aided by the United States and guerrilla forces aided by North Vietnam.
It escalated from a Vietnamese civil war into a limited international conflict in which the United States was deeply involved, and did not end, despite peace agreements in 1973, until North Vietnam's successful offensive in 1975 resulted in South Vietnam's collapse and the unification of Vietnam by the North.
In part, the war was a legacy of France's colonial rule, which ended in 1954 with the French army's catastrophic defeat at Dienbienphu and the acceptance of the Geneva Conference agreements (see Vietnam).

 Grotian Moment Blog | Issue #35: What Happens to the Saddam Trial if Civil War Consumes Iraq
In the event civil war or sectarian violence consume Iraq—and that day already may have arrived—the fate of the Iraqi High Criminal Court and the trials of Saddam Hussein and his regime’s top leaders will hang in the balance.
Either he will be executed by an Iraqi court in the event the civil war is suppressed, or he will be executed by an insurgent leader who seeks to replace him as the leader of the Iraqi people if the insurgents win.
Sheffer's fears regarding the potential effects of a civil war on the trial of Saddam Hussein are legitimate, his proposal for addressing the unfolding reality in Iraq loses sight of the primary aims of the trial and the war.
