What was the US's goal at the beginning of the Korean War?

Answer 1

American war aims in Korea were to prevent the spread of communism obviously. The domino theory was proving to be correct and America felt threatened so they had to get involved. The war aim changed as the three-year war progressed. First, the simple aim was to prevent a complete Communist takeover of the whole peninsula. American leaders felt that this would almost certainly result in the loss of Japan, also. After the successful US and UN intervention, the Communist army was moved back almost to the Russian and Chinese borders and the US objective became a Korea free of Communism and free of Chinese and Russian influence. After the Chinese army entered the war the extreme expense and loss of lives forced the abandonment of the idea of taking the whole country and the aim became establishment of a non-Communist state on the southern part of the peninsula and permitting the north to set up a Communist government in order to end the war.
