Was America successful in the Korean War?

Answer 1

Yes and no. The U.S. prevented South Korea from falling to communism, but failed to unite Korea under a non-communist government.

Answer 2

Depends on who you ask. Those who believe that America's goal was to stop Communism from spreading to South Korea would say overall it was a success. Those who think the goal was to eradicate communism altogether believe it was a failure. It's still considered too recent an event to see as 60 years is considered not that long to historians.

Answer 3

they just created peace between the two fighting countries.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, yes, in a way we did just create peace. I also think we did win because our object was to stop the invasion of N.K. and China, and we did.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

No, the United States did not win, the Korean War has not even ended.

It was only brought to a cease fire and North Korea very much plans on winning.

Answer 4

It was successful in containing communism, but not successful in achieving their goal of eliminating it entirely.

Answer 5

Yes and no. The U.S. prevented South Korea from falling to communism, but failed to unite Korea under a non-communist government.

The communists were stopped. The nation of South Korea was preserved. That's success.

Answer 7

They accomplished their objective (to save South Korea from invasion) although the war was a tactical mixed bag, and it ended in a stalemate.

Answer 8

The communists were stopped (at the 38th parallel).
