Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan — these are the proxy conflicts most people know. But the Cold War was fought on dozens of fronts that rarely make it into Western textbooks: Angola, Mozambique, Nicaragua, Ethiopia, Cambodia, and more. These weren't sideshows. They killed millions and shaped the post-colonial world in ways that still reverberate. **[The Cold War's Forgotten Fronts — Proxy Wars That Shaped the Modern World](/node/1421)** maps the full geography of superpower competition, examining how local conflicts were supercharged by Soviet and American intervention, how proxy warfare shaped the development of guerrilla tactics and covert operations doctrine, and what the pattern of these conflicts reveals about how great powers behave when direct confrontation is too dangerous. The Cold War's real history isn't in the Berlin Wall or the Cuban Missile Crisis. It's in the jungles and deserts where other people's wars were fought with other people's weapons.
