In military and political terms the Korean War ended with a stalemate and the preservation of the North and South Korean status quo. Regardless of being overrun by American and United Nations forces, North Korea was able to survive due to the Chinese intervention ordered by Mao Zedong. Due to political considerations and to avoid escalation of broader land war into the Chinese mainland the United States decided to an armistice. Due to these circumstances some Chinese and North Koreans drew the conclusion the Korean War was in fact a victory as opposed to a military stalemate.

Why did the communist leaders feel they had scored a victory in Korea?

After the cessation of hostilities in the Korean peninsula in the 1950s, Communist leaders could (and often did) feel that they had scored a victory inasmuch as they had secured territory (the new nation of North Korea) for the Communist cause. Even more, the powerfully Communistic government controlling North Korea became a new ally of the Communist cause, thereby strengthening that cause against the alliance of nations aligned with the United States and other anti-Communistic powers.

Why did the Chinese feel they had won the Korean war?

Based on the United State's withdrawal from Korea in 1950, and no American intervention in the communist takeover of China, communists believed the US would not be willing to fight in Korea. Kim Il Sung believed guerilla fighting had weakened the South Korean military, and that a North Korean invasion would be welcomed by the South Korean people, thus assuring a communist victory.


Why Communist leaders feel they had scored a victory in Korea?

Because the US asked for peace agreements (to a fighting man, being the FIRST to ask for a peaceful settlement is often looked upon as a sign of weakness, or that he is losing the battle and wants to settle-whether it is true or NOT). Secondly, the communists did push the allies back after our initial advance into North Korea. Third, with the Armisitice signing in 1953, the communists maintained their rule above the 38th Parallel, losing no ground. Which contrasts with past wars in which one of the two combatants loses his territory; as Germany, Italy, and Japan did only 5 years earlier in WW2.


Why did America feel guilty about china becoming a communist country following the Chinese civil war?
