American politics Korean War?

The number one issue was fighting a limited war without the use of atomic weapons; which the military wanted to use. The US military wanted to fight a total war, in order to win, and use atomic weapons if needed. Korea was the US's FIRST war since WW2, and in the eyes of the US military...wars were fought to win (with A-bombs if necessary). After World War II The United States had about 40,000 troops in South Korea. These numbers quickly dwindled to about 472, most of which were officers. These men made up the Korean Military Advisory Group, which equipped the South Korean army with light weapons, while the communist north had tanks and heavy weapons. The United States had completed their withdrawal from South Korea and announced to the world that they would defend Japan, the Rykus Islands and the Philippines if they were attacked. They made no mention of the Republic of Korea. This announcement was made on January 5th, 1950. North Korea was confident that if they attacked the ROK, the United States would not intervene. On June 25th ,1950, North Korea attacked South Korea without warning. The Korean War was the first war of the nuclear age. On June 27th,1950 President Harry S. Truman took action and requested that the United Nation call on the countries of the world to unite and drive the North Koreans out of the Republic of Korea. Truman recognized a legitimate threat to the free world. On a deeper level, The United States fighting on the South Korean Side, and the Russians, fighting on the North Korean side, used the war to fight each other without turning the Cold War into a hot war.

When did the United States fight Korea?

1950 Thru 1953, It is considered the Forgotten War. actually the United States never fought against Korea. You are referring to the Korean Civil War, war between the North and South Korea, which lasted from 1950 to 1953. The United States were South Korean's allies so they sent the troops to aid Koreans. You are right that this war is sometimes referred as "Forgotten War" because it was the deadliest (number of soldiers killed in the duration of the war) war in US history.
