Korean War

After the divide at the 17th parallel splitting Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh's communist forces were set up just north of the line. So, to the south the United States, and France, set up an Anticommunist government under Ngo Dinh Deim.

us-it cost us like $67 billion and from what i read 33-54 thousand American live

The Berlin Airlift in 1947 that lasted over a year. The Soviets blockaded Berlin from all approaches leading into the city in order to force out the Western Allies: U.S., Great Britain and France. It didn't work. Thousand upon thousands of airlifts, mainly coming from American transport planes, provided food and materials to the Berliners.

The Tuskegee Airmen not only helped defeat fascism overseas, but just as importantly, they broke down the barriers of racism and segregation here in America, which led to the complete racial integration of the military.

Stop communist aggression.

South Korea's highest point is Hallasan, an extinct volcano, which is 1,950 meters (6,398 feet) above sea level.

North Korea is currently communist, and has been communist since WWII. It is split from South Korea along the 38th parallel.
All of North Korea is Communist. Maybe not the civilians and/or other people living in North Korea, but definitely the government.

It was the final stand against North Korean superior forces before UN forces beat back the attacking North Korean elements.

It wasn't . There is still North Korea and South Korea .South Korea is thriving, while North Korea has many people doing without bare necessities. The US still maintains a significant military prescence in South Korea to protect them .

None, most of the fighting in the Korean War was on land or in the air.

As they did in the Vietnam War years later, the Red Chinese warned the US/Allies NOT to approach their borders. We did, they entered the war.

For the US, we'd cease fire, receive our POW's back, and depart the country.

Eisenhower gets the credit for it, along Truman no doubt had his input.

US involvement in the Korean War began with troops deployed to Korea in September of 1945. On July 5, 1950 US troops formally began to fight on South Korea's behalf. The battle of Osan was a decided defeat for our troops.

The tragedy of the Korean Was was death and carnage everywhere, with no real change at the end of the war

Harry Truman was the president when the war began in Korea.

Korean war was a war within Korea.

The war broke out in 25th of June 1950, and it started because North Korea crossed the border between North and South Korea.

I'm a south Korean, and my grandma was a girl then and when I ask her to tell me about it she tells me some stories, and I can see that it was devastating.. They had to move around hiding and many people died from starvation and from the warfront. She lost her brother in the war actually.. But she was one of the lucky ones, cus her family was rich so they didn't starve.

And my grandad fought in the war and a bomb landed next to him or something so he almost lost his leg. Fortunately he didn't but he limps now.

Korean war is really one of the tragic times of Korean history.

Well, hope this helped... :)

When the U.N came and pushed North Korea towards China's border China entered the war

The major factors that led to the Korean War were internal and external in nature. Internally, differences between competing Korean political parties were eventually considered to be beyond peaceful resolution and finally sparked the conflict. Externally, powerful nations (principally China and the United States) sought to influence the outcome, with each backing a different side. This led to an aggravation of the internal conflict and the involvement of foreign troops on Korean soil.

they could not overcome the United Nations resolve not to give in........

Our involvement in Korea was not a war. It was a Conflict. Money stopped it. The Korean War "stopped" due to an armistice (cease-fire agreement) signed by representatives of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, the People's Republic of China, the Soviet Union and the United States. The armistice was signed on July 27, 1953 at Panmunjom, North Korea. Technically the war is not over as there has never been a peace treaty signed.

Zhou En-lai (周恩来 in Chinese) was the Prime Minister of the People's Republic of China during the Korean War.
