Why wasn't the Korean War successful?

Answer 1

The division of Korea was a temp

orary agreement between the U.S and the U.S.S.R after the second world war to keep a detanté between the rival nations. The North's Soviet influence, which wanted Korea to be unified under a communist regime, led by Kim Il-Sung opposed the South's democratic approach, with heavy influence from the U.S. The Korean War was a bloody, brutal war which at first, with the North's invasion, with help from China and the U.S.S.R, gained the majority of the South's territory, but with help from the U.S and their allies, the south then gained back control over their half while also capturing majority of the North. With all this the North gained control of their territory again to bring things back to square one, and to the division we have today. With millions dead and with nothing gained, I would have to say the Korean war was not a success.

Answer 2

The Korean War WAS SUCCESSFUL! South Korea today is a very successful producer of automobiles, computers, televisions, and other fine products. South Korea's STANDARD of living is higher than many countries within the Asian Hemisphere. The communists were STOPPED at the 38th Parallel. That Parallel still exists today.
