What were some of the proxy wars fought during the cold war?

History

The Korean War, where the USSR fought the UN (technically speaking, but it was NATO in all but name) using China and North Korean as a proxy. The USSR sent weapons, ammunition and medical supplies to the North, as well as MiG 15 fighters and T-34 tanks.

The Vietnam War, where, again, the USSR fought America using North Vietnam as a proxy. The Soviets supplied intelligence concerning American aid raids, as well as conventional supplies as in Korea.

The Afghan War, where the USA fought the USSR using the Mujaheddin (later the Taliban) as a proxy. Most notably, they supplied Stinger missiles, which the Afghans used to great effect against the Mi-24 Hind helicopter gunships of the USSR.

These three are probably the most well known, though a few others exists, such as:

The Nicaraguan Revolution, in which the USSR supplied the FSLN, a collection of leftist political parties, and the Americans supplied the Contras, a rightist organisation opposed the the FSLN

The Greek Civil war, known as the first war of the Cold War. The USSR supplied the communist revolutionaries in Albania, Yugoslavia and Bulgaria when they rose against the British backed Greek government. The British ran out of money, so they called in the Americans. Interestingly, this affair saw the establishment of the Containment policy, which sought to curtail and contain Soviet influence.

Now try to construct a triangle using a different set of measurements. This time, you’ll enter three angle measurements. Return
finlep [7]

Answer:

The tool gave an error message that read, “At least one side must be given.” This message appeared because an infinite number of triangles can be constructed with three valid angles (angles that sum to 180°). With the angle measures fixed, the sides of the triangle can increase and decrease in length to create an unlimited number of triangles. To construct a unique triangle, at least one side length of the triangle must be given along with the three angle measurements.

It was given to me when I submitted on Edmentum/Exact Path. :)
