Cold war is actually fought between two super powers,USSR and USA.Cold war is actually a grudge feeling against each other after WWII.This term is used to describe the relationship between these two countries although they never fought with other.
Proxy wars are war happened between other countries but with each side getting support from different super power.E.g: Vietnam war,Korean war etc.
Korean War
One can see korean war as a result of the cold war or animosity between two super power nations(USA and USSR) emerged at the end of WWII.At the end of WWII,Japan lost the war and relinquished the power to hold Korea.And hence it ended up as northern part of korea occupied by USSR became north korea and southern parts occupied by United states became South Korea.
USSR has different ideology which claims on communalism so north korea became communist whereas South korea occupied by US became Capitalist.Naturally there was tension among these two super powers fearing that other would occupy the entire korean peninsula.
Both sides thought that the division is temporary and the outcome of elections would bring the unified korean government.Whereas soviet did not trust the UN monitored elections of 1948.Democratic government was set up in South whereas in north self declared communist leader became supreme power.Both US and USSR stepped out in 1948-49 by giving control to these governments.It's the fate of korean country that the separation for ever became salvage as a result of the non korean super powers in the World.That enmity between two nations still on going without realising the fact that it all started by the people who don't belong to Korea itself.
At the same time,there was a revolution going on in china,communist occupied north korea started supporting china by giving refuge to the leaders escaped from china.Whereas US supported nationalists who were fighting against Communist.At the end,Communist won china in 1949.This boosted the communist guerrillas and took up the next task of acquiring the south korea.They won the territory.This brought US,USSR and China into the war,though none of these nations declared war against each other.
After nearly 4 years of the war,the sides moved back to the 1949 arrangements in an armistice signed in 1953 that also provided for a DeMilitarize Zone (DMZ) between these two rivals.
