How much aid did the US give Chang's nationalist govt in China?

Full military aid: Contemporary US jet fighters, Warships, Tanks, Small Arms, infantry equipment (steel helmets, uniforms, radios, etc.). Nationalist China was "considered" to be a participating ally in the Vietnam War, but that consideration didn't last long...because that particular "participation" would have definitely angered Red China; to the point of their possible entry into the war.

Nationalist China was one of the US's strongest allies in Asia. If you look at the websites of all of the US Navy warships (mostly destroyers), looking at their "final dispositions", you'll notice that many of them were sold to Nationalist China.

US Army training for men (women went into the Women's Army Corps, which was disbanded in 1975) during the Korean War consisted of APPROXIMATELY eight weeks of basic training (boot camp) in which the soldier was taught "basic training": How to shine his boots, fix his bed, perform proper hygiene, shoot and maintain his M-14 rifle (after 1970, it was the M-16 rifle), throw hand grenades, utilize his C-Rations, perform first aid, operate a map and compass (Land Navigation). How to salute, the rules of war (Uniform Code of Military Justice), how to stand at attention, how to march, in ranks inspection, marching in parade, graduation.

Then onto his AIT (Advanced Individual Training) usually another 8 weeks for infantry. Each MOS (Military Occupational Specialty) was a different length of time. Medic schoot at Fort Sam Houston might be a 6 month AIT course.

After his AIT is completed. Then two weeks of training took place. Shooting his (live rounds) rifle from the hip WITHOUT bringing it to the shoulder and aiming, running and jumping into and out of the back of an army truck (2 1/2 ton) and firing blanks from his rifle.

What describes a similarity between the Korean War and Vietnam War?

The Korean War was a "clear" invasion of North Korea into South Korea. US/Allied Forces counter-attacked, AND INVADED North Korea; and Red China entered the war against the US/Allies. Korea was a "knock down, drag out" war, fought mostly in a conventional way in rough hilly, mountainous terrain of both North & South Korea. But because Korea is a PENINSULA, it was easily controlled by sea (US Navy) and communist supplies to support the war was limited to the Red Chinese/North Korean border; with which US Firepower easily controlled (it). With the "see saw (back and forth)" fighting going on, and the death of Soviet (Russia) Josept Stalin in 1953, both sides had had enough, and called an "Armistice" at the 38th Parallel; which is still in effect today. The Vietnam War was fought by infiltration by communist North Vietnam, in which, at the beginning, it was difficult to identify the enemy. Which brought to the "accustomed" to traditional warfare US Commanders abit of confusion; since all of our past wars had been relatively easy to ID enemy troops & activites. With the experience of Korea & WWII to back them up, US Commanders set about winning this war too. But this time, Washington wanted NO Communist Superpowers involved in the fighting. NO MORE Red Chinese Troops! So this time, there would be NO invasion of North Vietnam. To make it even more clear to the observing Communist Superpowers, US Aerial bombardment of North Vietnam would be "restricted" in certain areas, to AVOID killing or wounding any Communist Superpower technicians or merchant ship personnel (unloading war material in North Vietnam's harbors). These rules were one thing; but the real problem was the infiltration route(s), which were located in other countries besides Vietnam; like Laos and Cambodia. This meant, that unless the US/Allies brought those two countries into the war, the men & material reaching South Vietnam would NEVER be brought under control...as the Korean Peninsula had been brought under control. We now had a recipe for disaster. So we SECRETLY bombed Cambodia & Laos to rectify the situation. This turned out to be a temporary cure; the "Reds" kept coming. After over a decade of trying to empty the lake with a bucket, we decided to end it. So we left.

Where did the tang dynasty came from?

"It was founded by the Li (李) family, who seized power during the decline and collapse of the Sui Empire. The Sui Dyansty's second emperor was very cruel and wasted a lot of the state's resources and the people all hated him. Towards the end of his reign, the country was weak militarily so Li Yuan and his sons could seize power. The dynasty was interrupted briefly by the Zhou Dynasty when Empress Wu Zetian seized the throne, becoming the first and only Chinese empress regnant, ruling in her own right."

Did china attack us during the Korean war?

Neither. The instigator of the Korean War was the North Korean People's Army, which invaded South Korea on the 25th of June in 1950. On June 28th of the same year, South Korea bombed the bridge on the Han River. Up until this point, the United States had refused to engage in an act of war in Korea. But due to the change of events, and first entered combat against North Korean on July 5th. The People's Republic of China would not enter the conflict until three months after the initial confrontation.

What would happen if South Korea invaded North Korea?

First, South Korea alone will not be able to win the war by themselves against the North.

There were actually a plan ,or a senario, made by the USA, Bush Govt.

First, South Korea will bomb the North and try to engage in a war state with the North Korea. By the time when the nuclear or whatever missile drops back in Seoul, South Korea by the North Korean, they would have not enough left then to attack to defend their country.

Simply, later, USA will ally with South Korea and engage in a war too.

By that time, North Korea will have no chance of winning the battle.

After the war will be over, I probably think UN will take over the country and

manage the land.

That's about it.

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.

North Korea is an enemy of the United States & South Korea. The Korean War ended only with cease-fire, not an armistice or peace agreement. The North Korean government often attacks South Korea and sometimes the United States. US & South Korean troops often use deadly force against North Korean incursions. Historically, the North Korean dictators attempt to distract attention away from the poverty & hardships of its civilian population by taking aggressive military action.
