Korean War

The train system was all but useless. Some times it took two locomotives to pull a train load of UN military replacements up to front lines. Most often trucks were used to transport troops to the front line.

north korea and south korea is where war started and thats the latitude of south and north korea. (38th parallel- thats how it got its name)

Protect Japan

In April 1996

Remember, things change. But during the Viet War, it used to mean: Registrant with sufficient prior service to satisfy the requirements of law (a veteran).

US goals may have been established during the Korean War. Prior to the Korean War, the Free World and Communist World had not fought each other. Now that the two had fought; they knew how to handle each other. Next stop was: Vietnam.

No, the 101st Airborne Division was not called up to Korea during the conflict, however elements of the 101st were grouped with elements from other divisions to form special units like LRRPs (Long Range Recon Patrols) etc.

1950- N. Korea invades S. Korea

1950- United Nation troops pushed N. Korean troops out

1951- Chinese forces United Nation forces to retreat

1951- US and Soviet Union talk about truce for 2 years

1953- S. Korea & allies win war

That hasn't happened yet. In 1953 a cease fire was negotiated. The Korean War is still an on going conflict.

At the end of World War II, the governments of the United States and the Soviet Union decided that the Soviet Union would invade the Japanese held territories of mainland Asia south to the 38th Parallel and the United States would invade north to the same point. In 1948,with a failure to unite the two areas, elections were held and the new South Korea came under the power of Syngman Rhee. Kim Il-sung took power in North Korea.

On June 25 June, 1950, communist North Korean forces crossed the 38th parallel into democratic South Korea.

The 38th parallel, as the pre-war boundary between the countries, became the focal point for negotiations of a cease fire.

There has been no peace treaty, only a cease fire. The 38th parallel continues to be the most highly defended border in the world across the 3 mile wide Demilitarized Zone (DMZ).

Well many wars dozens really. But the main ones were the Korean War, Vietnam War, the Soviet-Afghan war. There were many wars where the USSR and the USA didn't directly fight. There were the Arab Israeli conflicts where the US backed Israel and the Soviets backed the Arabs. The Arabs and the Israelis fought the first time when the nation of Israel was established, during the six day war and the Yom kippur war. Also there were many American CIA operations and US military intervention.

Inscribed on the black granite walls of the Vietnam War Memorial are the names of more than 58,000 men and women who gave their lives or remain missing .

In the beginning it was General Douglas MacArthur, later it was General Matthew Ridgeway.

Technically the "Middle East" is Southwest Asia. The word "Orient" means EAST. The "Middle Orient" would actually be India, Afghanistan, etc. Iraq, Israel, Jordon, Syria, etc. are actually in Southwest Asia; Turkey used to be called ASIA MINOR. Southeast Asia is Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Burma, etc. "Occident" means WEST. Mis-titling started during WW1 when Britain began releasing their colonies in Southwest and Central Asia (Arab nations and India). Since Britain was the primary colony holder in the world, the US has followed their lead in using British naming systems. Britain termed Asian countries based upon the distance the country was from Great Britain. Example: if an Asian country was close to England, such as Turkey, it was ASIA MINOR or the NEAR EAST. If an Asian country such as Japan was far from England, it was the FAR EAST. The Korean War was fought in the Far East (Far Orient), Eastern Asia; Korean Peninsula. The Vietnam War was fought in the Far East (Far Orient), Southeast Asia. The Six-Day Arab-Israeli War was fought in Southwest Asia (Southwest Orient); or to use the old British term the "Near East or ASIA MINOR". The Yom-Kipper War, Arabs vs Israel fought in the same areas noted above. Operation Desert Storm (January thru Febuary 1991) was conducted in Southwest Asia (Iraq). Or in the old British term, the "NEAR EAST or ASIA MINOR." Operation Iraqi Freedom (2003 to present) same as above. Afghanistan Operations would be closer to the MIDDLE EAST (Middle Orient). Pakistan, Iran, Afghanistan, India are flanked on both sides with Asian countries (Far East and Far West Asians).

This is a question that some little kids need to know on a project people...so get this answer now.

Contact the branches of the Military at their websites(Army,Navy,Air Force,Marines,Coast Guard)

The Korean War was the FIRST test of communist aggression. The communists learned that the US and it's allies WOULD FIGHT to contain communism.

Eisenhower promised he would go to Korea to arrange a cease-fire.

He went to Korea soon after he was elected and on July 27, 1953, an armistice was signed in Korea freezing the status quo.

That one is too close to call, and hope we don't ever find out.

Yes, since homosexuality is part of nature, it is found in every culture, without exception. However, some cultures have such strong laws or taboos about homosexuality, that gay people in these cultures must be very careful to hide who they are.

First was General Douglas MacArthur and later General Matthew Rodgeway

everybody thankssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

In 1949, at the end of the Chinese Civil War, millions (like 99%) of Chinese people believed in Communism/Socialism and Maoism (Which are pretty much the same thing). Everyone basically 'worshiped' Mao Zedong. At that point, when Mao won the war, the US refused to recognize the Communism China as a country. That worsen the US<>China relation. Even if the US intervened with the communism in China, it would have not helped. Mao Zedong was a genius, in charismatic skills, political/government control skills and being one of the most influential people in the world. The only effect if US did intervened would be war. The Cold War, happened recently after WWII. The US couldn't risk a war after being healed from a great war.

The Koreans affair, was different. In that scenario, there's at least a fighting chance, in China, everyone already believed in communism. There's at least the South Koreans to fight against the Communism North Korea. Hope that answered your question!

Korea was 5 yrs after WWII; but the concern was WWIII.

Vietnam was some yrs after Korea; but a repeat of Korea was to be avoided.

After Vietnam, the issue, for the US, was redeeming prestige; which was accomplished with Operation Desert Storm in 1991.
