Vietnam is considered part of the greater ‘Cold War.’ Soviet pilots flew for the North Vietnamese Air Force.
Angola’s long civil war was another bloody proxy war.

There were so many wars that encompassed the greater cold war.
You mentioned some. Vietnam was the big one. There was also USSR vs Afghanistan.
But also tons of smaller wars in Africa. All over the world really. Anytime two powers went to war, the USA and USSR would each pick a side and fund it. Some of these smaller wars outlasted the cold war. One of them went from like the 1970s until 2019. I forget which one, but just watch Oversimplified’s cold war videos. He covers all of them with a quick graphic showing years.
