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


What effects did the Korean War cause?

The Korean War proved that the free world could stop/contain communism.South Korea today, is a vibrant successful free nation, with a modern society that can compete in the world of high technology PRODUCTS such as aircraft, automobiles, computers, watercraft, radios, television, and other communication products.


How were the Cold War geographic boundaries drawn?

When Soviet & US/Allied forces drove their invasions toward the enemies positions, such as the center of Berlin or near the 38th parallel in Korea or the 17th parallel in Vietnam, that's where the leadership of those particular combatants would draw the line.


When did Korea divide?

I think the 38th Parallel was decided in 1945, but it did not become enforced immediately so that Koreans who wished to relocate could do so. In the closing days of World War 2, the Soviet Union drove the Japanese out of northern Korea and the USA landed in southern Korea. They agreed the border of the two occupied zones should be roughly the 38th parallel. The two countries are still based on this division.

Why the us involvement in Korea?

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.

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. During the next presidential campaign, the Republican candidate Eisenhower promised to go to Korea and end hostilities. Eisenhower won the election and before he was inaugurated he went to Korea. He threatened to use atomic weaponry to end the war. That was probably a bluff, but it convinced the North Koreans to end hostilities in July, 1953. Korea returned to its previous division at the thirty-eighth parallel. The war did prove to the communist nations that the US was willing to defend its policy of containment and prevent any spread of communism, any where on the planet.

Why did the war break out in Korea?

the UN is supposed to enforce/arbitrate world order.........therefore when NORTH KOREAN troops envaded South Korea, the UN (and USA) stepped in to assist the South Korean government to stem the invasion tide from North Korea. The many countries that fought against north Korea were members of the UNA similar reason to the war in Vietnam. The war against communism. The US believed in the domino effect, in that if one country fell influence to communism, the neighboring countries would fall as well. Therefore, South Korea was supported by the US to promote capitalism, whilst North Korea was supported by China to promote communism.
