A worker confused about an old conflict (6,3)
I believe the answer is:
korean war
'old conflict' is the definition.
'korean war' can be an answer for 'conflict' (I've seen this before). I am unsure of the 'old' bit.
'a worker confused about an' is the wordplay.
'confused' indicates anagramming the letters.
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'a'+'worker'='aworker'
'aworker' is an anagram of 'korewar'.
'korewar' going around 'an' is 'KOREAN WAR'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for korean war that I've seen before include "armed conflict" , "Ninteen fifty to ninteen fifty three conflict" , "1950-53 conflict" .)
