Was the war actually a war?

Answer 1

Of course it was a war you idiot, they only called it a conflict because they didn't want to sign a war declaration and if anyone copies my answer I'll hurt them severely.

Of course it was a war! The Americans only call it a conflict because they did not want to sign a war declaration.

Answer 2

Yes the Korean War was an actual war. Why would it be called the Korean War if it wasn't? At 11:00 a.m., 25 June, 1950 Kim Il Sung, Premier of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea) issued a declaration of war on the Republic of Korea (South Korea). Multiple nations engaged in open, declared armed conflict on the Korean Peninsula. These two facts fit Merriam-Webster's definition of war, which is: 1) a state of usually open and declared armed hostile conflict between states or nations 2) a period of such armed conflict....

Answer 3

It was not a war. It was a Conflict, just like Viet Nam and now Iraq. I was there. It was never declared a war by Congress. A U.S. President can not declare war on a country. It takes an act of Congress. The only way Korea was actually a war is that men on both sides killed each other.

Answer 4
