The U.S. involvement in the Korean War was largely driven by the desire to contain communism and uphold the policy of containment established during the Cold War. Supporters argue that fighting in Korea was crucial to prevent the spread of communism in Asia and protect South Korea from North Korean aggression. Critics, however, contend that the war resulted in significant loss of life and resources without a clear victory or resolution, raising questions about its justification. Ultimately, the decision to fight reflects the complex geopolitical context of the time.
