Should the US keep its troops in foreign countries for peacekeeping?

In my opinion we should keep troops in other countries because some troops get to see other places in the world. Also we can help one another. For example if we have troops in South Korea and North Korea attacks we can always help them if we have someone attack us then they can also help us. That would also give us more peace in the world.


Did South Korea ask the United Nations for help to keep North Korea out of their country?

No, they did not. The United States just came into Korea in order to keep Northern part of Korean away from South Korea. Because the Soviet Union(communists) was taking care of northern Korea. Korean War began because of the protection from the United States and the Soveit Union. Colonized over years from Japan, Korea was weak to set their own government, so then United States occupied Korea. no In June 1950, North Korean troops crossed the 38th parallel, the North Koreans had nearly taken the whole of the peninsula when UN troops landed in the unconquered land in the south-east and at Inchon near Seoul.


What provoked the Korean War?

My answer is like this: Korea was under Japan during the World War. But when the USA threw nuclear bombs, Japan had to surrender because of its losses. So thus, Korea was left divided into North Korea and South Korea. Since North Korea is a communist, it went to USSR (Russia) and South Korea went to USA. North Korea used to keep invading South Korea to make it too come under a communist influence.So, South Korea went to ask help from the UN. So..this is the Korean Crisis.. :)

How did the Korean War support containment?

The Korean War began when North Korean troops swept across the thirty-eighth parallel and quickly drove the troops of the Republic of Korea to the toe of the Korean peninsula, in June, 1950. This was a test of the Truman Doctrine, and the policy of "containment." President Truman had stationed American troops in South Korea and an American fleet was already in Korean waters. Thanks to the absence of the Soviet delegation at the United Nations, Truman got that body to sponsor a "police action" in Korea to push the North Koreans back across the thirty-eighth parallel. The US made up most of the "police" in Korea
