What is the difference between world war 1 and the Korean War?

Answer 1

World War 1, originally called the "Great War", and "The War to end all Wars" was fought from 1914-1918. US entry into WW1 was 1917...so the US only fought in WW1 for ONE year. 1. WW1 was the FIRST war in which airplanes (propeller driven) fought each other in aerial combat (dog-fights). 2. WW1 was known for it's back and forth trench warfare. 3. WW1 ended by an Armistice. The Korean War was the modern world's first "Limited War" war, verses "Total War." Total war would involve nuclear weapons. Limited war was limited to conventional (non-nuclear weapons). Total (atomic wars) wars can no longer be fought without risking mutually assured destruction in this "atomic age" (since 1945 when nukes were invented). 1. The Korean War was the FIRST war in which Jet Airplanes fought each other in aerial combat (dog-fights). 2. The Korean War was known for it's back and forth fighting; some of it was trench warfare. 3. The Korean War ended by an Armistice.
