Прокси-войны

List of proxy wars - Wikipedia

This is a list of proxy wars. Major powers have been highlighted in bold. A proxy war is two opposing countries avoiding direct war, and instead supporting combatants that serve their interests. In some occasions, one country is a direct combatant whilst the other supporting its enemy. For example, the United States has been supporting the Syrian rebels (Opposition), whilst Russia has been supporting the Syrian government led by Bashar al-Assad. Here the Syrian rebels are a proxy for the United States, and the Syrian government a proxy for Russia. //  Дальше — en.wikipedia.org
