What was the point of the Korean War?
Stopping communist aggression & preserving the ROK.
What did the Korean War teach the world?
The Korean war taught the world that idealism is arguably the strongest weapon in the world. It taught us that you can reign hellfire from the skies but it will not move men's hearts. To this day the North Koreans celebrate the cease fire as a victory, because although they were unsuccessful in invading South Korea, they were able to maintain sovereignty of the northern territory. It taught the world that agression for any reason will have far reaching and long lasting consequences. North Korea still looks at the United States as an evil enemy and they have memorials commemorating the bombings and attacks that the U.S. military deployed upon the North Koreans to sustain their point of view.
Why was the US and the USSR involved in the Korean war?
The North Koreans were communist and because of this the USSR supported them. The South Koreans were democratic and required help from foreign countries to defend itself from the Northern communists. The Americans were quick to help the South Koreans because they were very anti-communist at this point and wanted to stop the spread of communist through Eastern Europe and Asai.
Why was South Korea fighting North Korea?
The North Korean government argues that South Korea is not actually an independent country, but is a puppet state and a colony of the United States of America. The war against South Korea is, in their view, a war of liberation to bring southern Korea out of imperialist control and back to domestic Korean control. South Korea refuses to submit to the North Korean government. These two opposing wills lead to war.Contrary to the view in the Community Answer, there is no peace treaty or recognition between North and South Korea, simply an Armistice that was signed in 1953. The armistice ended the actual fighting with a ceasefire, which is simply a "pause" in the war, not its termination.
