In 1948 in Korea, the Communists controlled the northern half of the country and the US-Allied Capitalist Dictators controlled the southern half of the country. After the Korean War in 1953, this situation was preserved. In the 1980s, the Capitalist Dictators in the south gave way to a democracy.

In 1954 in Vietnam, the Communists controlled the northern half of the country and the US-Allied Capitalist Dictators controlled the southern half of the country. After the Vietnam War in 1975, the Communists were able to unite the entire country and remain in power to this day.

What event caused Truman to send American troops to Korea in 1950?

President Truman had developed the "Containment doctrine" that held that Communism must be contained within the areas it then controlled and that every effort to expand its territory further must be 'actively' resisted by the USA. The doctrine was developed after the USSR's Josef Stalin had installed puppet Communist governments in practically all of the countries in Eastern Europe where it had chased out the armies of Nazi Germany. This Truman Doctrine not only led to its involvement in the Korean War, but later also to US policy towards Cuba and finally, to US involvement in the Vietnam war. Since it was Communist North Korea that started the war by invading South Korea, this was a clear case of Communism trying to expand its territory. Since it furthermore clearly was an unprovoked invasion without any preceding declaration of war, the US had no trouble convincing the UN and its members to also come to the aid of South Korea and troops of several Western countries fought North Korea - and later the Chinese forces sent in to support the Korean army.


The responsibility for starting the cold war rests with the?

The Cold War began as World War II was ending, 1945. American leaders saw the power and ambitions of the Soviet Union as a threat to our national security. The Chinese and Soviet Communists wanted to take over the areas of Europe and Asia that they felt were being controlled by the western democracies and thus posed a threat to their safety. The Cold War was a war of words and ideologies rather than a shooting war, although at times the Cold War turned "hot" as in Korea and Vietnam. Basically, the Cold War was a rivalry between the United States as leader of the western democracies, and the Soviet Union and the nations that were controlled by the communists.
