Korean War

North Korea is communist

South Korea is capitalist

The main cause of death for N. Korea now is starvation.

Because it is ruled under a communist dictatorship, by kim-jong-il, it is a single-party state, it has absolutely no internet or mobile connection available, it is restricted to enter or exit the state, the population is brain-washed, there is practiced strict censorship,...

The list can be continued to infinity, and lead to feudalism.

Since Koreans are stupid they decided to put all the dumb people in the north and all the less stupid ones in the south. Once they officially split, all the People in north korea killed each other. All except a mother and her great great uncle who had autism, HIV and serve retardation. These two people procreated together which lead to the current population of 24 million.

Truman limited the war to the Korean peninsula, MacArthur had encouraged widening the war to hit Chinese bases in Manchuria. Khruschev and Chairman Mao made a mistake by boycotting the UN permitting the US to obtain a UN mandate for supporting South Korea. Overall, the Communists were not permitted to absorb South Korea and in response the Chinese prevented the US from absorbing North Korea into South Korea. Commander of all Chinese Communist forces was Peng Dehuai who held the position from the start to the end of the war.

At the end of World War II, Japan surrendered Korea to the Allies. The country was then divided into two parts, North Korea and South Korea. The United States withdrew its troops when the Republic of Korea was set up. They provided economic support. On June 25, 1950, North Korea invaded South Korea. The United States then backed up South Korea and fought with them. So did many other Allied countries. In the first few weeks of the war, North Korean forces met little resistance and advanced rapidly. By September tenth, the South Korean Army had been driven to the Southeast tip of South Korea. On September fifteenth, the United Nations forces made a daring counterattack. They landed at Incheon. This was on the West coast. On October nineteenth, the North Korean capitol was captured. Eventually the U.N troops drove the North Korean troops to the border of China. China saw this as a threat and launched a counteroffensive. The communist forces worked together to force the U.N back to South Korea. They then captured the South Korean capitol. The fighting was eventually drawn back to the borders of the two countries. The border was called the 38th parallel. That is where it remained for the rest of the war. The countries never signed a treaty so technically they are still at war.

There were 36,516 killed including 2,830 non-combat deaths.

the containment policy was issued to stop the spread of communism what happened in Korea was that we or America stopped communism from spreading all the way through Korea we controlled it and kept it half way in north Korea i believe it was succes

about 2 days. it ended when the dudes granpa died because he was stabbed by a gobiln

Syngman Rhee. Rhee had originally been an opponent of Japanese occupation in Korea (from 1910 to 1945). He had lived in exile in the United States for many years and studied at several American Universities. He became President of the Republic of Korea in 1948 and assumed dictorial powers during the Korean War. He was eventually forced to resign in 1960 after protests over his rigging of elections.

As a staunch anti-Communist, Rhee was supported by the Americans and the West, but he remains controversial due to the number of civilians who died during his attempts to purge South Korea of Communists.

The citizens vote directly for the government not the party

mostly the state

Well Korea used to be one country, but then after World War II, Korea was taken away from Japan and became independent. But they decided not to be on country and they split into two countries, hence North and South Korea. North Korea became a communist government with the help of the soviet Union and South Korea became a democratic government with the help of the United States.

The Soviets supported North Korea while The U.S. supported South Korea.

once

There are some good books on the subject from the US and UK perspective.

There were some acts of military genius - the landing at Incheon.

There was fighting against vastly superior numbers.

There were the first combat use of Jet fighters.

There were massive set-backs and enormous victories.

And after all the deaths and suffering - there was everyone back where they started.

In short, it was the same as any other war or conflict, bloody, brutal and costly.......

It was a seasonal conflict, sweat in the summer and freeze in the winter. To advance meant climbing hills and mountains because that was where the Chinese and North Koreans fought from........In my opinion, one of a kind conflict...............

I disagree: You are only illuminating one aspect of the conflict. Yes there was considerable hill to hill defence - but much of the pacific campaign of WWII was similar in parts.

The only recourse is to read a book on the whole conflict to get a feel for the different phases and aspects of the conflict.

Authoritarian type leader. Their leader Kim Jong-il rule with an iron fist. He took leadership after his father Kim Il-sung died in 1994. There is little information on the type of leader he is as the country is completely isolated from the outside world. Kim Jong-il are describe to be paranoid by his Japanese Cook when he saw what happen in Romania in 1989 the downfall of the Romania communist government. Therefore he use all method of suppress dissent. Sometime public execution, putting people in Gulag and cut off all available way for it citizen to get access to foreign information. He also use media to portray him self as God and is describe to have a cult personality. In north Korea's media his birth sound like the Birth of Jesus saying his mother was a Virgin and weather change as he was born. He also rarely meet foreign diplomat and rare pay state visit. The only country he travel to is China and Russia.

He also been described to love basketball and watch Hollywood and loves Bordeaux wine. He also loves making movies and design majority of the uniform now use my the army.

1. A limited war (limited to conventional non-nuclear weapons).

2. It was fought between two separate nations: North Korea and South Korea (with their appropiate allies).

3. A civil war is fought against itself. One nation fighting itself.

Korea in 1927 was occupied by Imperial Japan, it was a colony. N. Korea was not founded until post-WW2

North Korea is communist, and South Korea is democratic. The Korean War had ended in a stalemate (when neither side gets a victory) so they remained split apart, and with different governments.

Korean democracy stood up to communism. the result of this was a stalemate. (nobody wins_a tie) this happened around 150-53.

The US had no option but to support the South side of Korea that was divided by the 17th parallel. North Korea was already supported by the soviet Union, so they favored Communism. South Korea favored Capitalism, or Democracy for its people. The U.S. had basically joined the southern part of Korea in order to slow down the spread of Communism.

Canada provided a number of military units, ranging from infantry to artillery to armour, as well as fighter squadrons, and RCN ships on coastal patrols.

The Canadian Army units werea part of the Commonwealth Brigade, that was comprised of British, Canadian, Australian, and New Zealand troops.

The RCAF fighter pilots flew their own F86 jets, and some were "loaned " to USAF units to train them in close groundsupport to the Commonwealth Brigade, as they used a completely different method of "calling in the air support".

A small and dirty war, that is not much remembered now. Except by those who were there.
