For instance, during the Cold War the United States and the Soviet Union never engaged each other in warfare, but fought proxy wars in Korea, Vietnam, Angola, the Middle East, Nicaragua and Afghanistan and spent substantial amounts of money and manpower on gaining relative influence over the third world.
例如，在冷战时期，美国和苏联之间从来没有爆发战争，而是在朝鲜、越南、安哥拉、中东、尼加拉瓜和阿富汗展开代理人战争，并花费了大量的资金和人力在第三世界中赢得相对影响力。
