Explanation
★The Cold War events are 1, 2 and 3, so the answer is 1, 2 and 3 only.
★The Cold War ran roughly from 1947 to 1991 between the US-led West and the Soviet-led East.
★The Korean War of 1950-53 pitted UN-backed South Korea against Soviet and Chinese-backed North Korea.
★The Vietnam War of 1955-75 saw the US try to halt communism against the USSR and China-backed North Vietnam.
★The Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962 was the closest the superpowers came to direct nuclear war.
★The bifurcation of Sudan happened in 2011, long after the Cold War, so statement 4 is excluded.
★Russia's invasion of Ukraine occurred in 2022, a contemporary conflict, so statement 5 is excluded.
