There was division between Eastern and Western Europe, but war does not happened between the two sides. However, in Asia during the Cold War, the Communist was globalizing China, Korea, and Vietnam and it led to dangerous War. In Vietnam, Communist military took control over Southern Vietnam, but the United States was helping Northern Vietnam to have democracy. Soviet and China wanted Vietnam to be Communist nation. Many many people died in Vietnam war. Eventually, Communist took control over Vietnamese in 1975.
