Detailed explanation-1: -In June 1950 the Cold War turns hot when American and British backed South Korea is invaded by the Russian and Chinese backed North. American technological superiority in both air and naval power lead to a blockade of North Korea but the land campaign becomes a stalemate.
Detailed explanation-2: -Cold war is normally a political war wherein violence is not employed. On the other hand, hot war is exactly the opposite of the cold war. In other words, it can be said that hot war is a serious war between two countries wherein guns and other deadly weapons are used.
Detailed explanation-3: -A defining element of the Cold War was that it did not become a hot war. Neither the U.S. not the U.S.S.R. launched attacks on the territories of the other. Instead, the superpowers supported or intervened in the conflicts of nations in their spheres of influence.
