Why was the cold war called the cold war?

Although we never really call them this, wars like the 1st world war, 2nd world war and Korean world war were hot wars. This is because there was hysical fighting.

To contrast this, the cold war was more of a hostile stand off between America and the Soviet Union (mostly controlled by the Russians). There was an arms race, meaning they were competing for the most and best weapons and the Berlin wall was built. However, no physical armed fighting was ever carried out between the Capitalist and Communist sides.

hope this helps :)

sir thomas more, venerated in the catholic church as saint thomas more, was an english lawyer, social philosopher, author, statesman, and noted renaissance humanist. he was also a councillor to henry viii, and lord high chancellor of england from october 1529 to 16 may 1532.

the main reason the us senate rejected the treaty of versailles was because "european nations wanted to punish germany"
