Is cold war really an appropriate name for the conflict between the united states and the soviet union? In what ways was the cold war actually a hot war?

it got pretty hot when america defended south korea when the soviet union backing up north korea when north invaded south and it is an appropriate name because before the korean war nothing has heated up

Explanation:

The whole conflict started the korean war

in 1897, pershing became a tactical officer at west point, and that's where he was given the nickname "black jack." pershing's first name is "john," for which "jack" is a nickname, and he was a white man who commanded black troops. hence "black jack".

whats the question? im not quite understanding your question.
