Korean War

General Douglas MacArthur <-- I got this answer when I was doing homework.

Here is some info I found at http://users.erols.com/mwhite28/warstat2.htm which gives references.

These numbers include military and civlian casualties and since so many sources have different numbers, these are the averages.

South Korea - 595,000 North Korea - 1,316,579 China - 500,000 United States - 33,000 United Kingdom - 1,078 Turkey - 717 Canada - 310 France - 290 Australia - 281 Greece - 170 Colombia - 140 Ethiopia - 120 Netherlands - 110 Thailand - 110 Belgium - 100 Philippines - 90

Total - 2,448,095

I'm sure the soldier riding in the tanks WISH they were indestructible. No tank is completely invulnerable to armor piercing rounds, artillery, mortars, bombs, missiles, mines, and other anti-tank weapons, although some are more resistant than others.

The ongoing competition between armor and armor-piercing weapons has been going on ever since the invention of armor. The first anti-tank weapons were developed during WW I - which is when tanks were first deployed in battle.

Small cannons and large-caliber rifles were used against the early WW I tanks deployed by the British. Although a lot of thes supposed anti-tank weapons were nearly useless, they gradually got better as better armor-piercing rounds were developed. Grenades were also used. Since tanks can get stuck and be unable to move, they can also be quite vulnerable to artillery and mortars; once they get stuck they become a fixed target and are much easier to drop a shell on with some accuracy. In the area of anti-tank warfare, there are three kinds of "kills": "mobility kill", firepower kill" and "catastrophic kill". A mobility kill (M-kill) is when a tank is rendered immobile; if it can't move, it can't go where it is needed and isn't nearly as useful. Its weapons may still work, but it is more like fixed artillery rather than mobile firepower. A firepower kill (F-kill) means some loss of the vehicle's ability to fire its weapons. M-kills and F-kills may be complete or partial. A partial M-kill means the tank can't move as well, a partial F-kill means some of the tank's weapons can't fire or they can't fire as fast or as accurately. A catastrophic kill (K-kill) removes the tank's ability to fight completely. If the tank can't move or fire its weapons or if the crew is disabled and unable to operate the tank and its weapons, it is a K-kill. Most of the newer tanks are more resistant to M-kills, F-kills, and K-kills, but they are not indestructible. The more heavily armored tanks tend to be more resistant than the lighter armored tanks, but that is not an absolute rule.

World War 1, originally called the "Great War", and "The War to end all Wars" was fought from 1914-1918. US entry into WW1 was 1917...so the US only fought in WW1 for ONE year. 1. WW1 was the FIRST war in which airplanes (propeller driven) fought each other in aerial combat (dog-fights). 2. WW1 was known for it's back and forth trench warfare. 3. WW1 ended by an Armistice. The Korean War was the modern world's first "Limited War" war, verses "Total War." Total war would involve nuclear weapons. Limited war was limited to conventional (non-nuclear weapons). Total (atomic wars) wars can no longer be fought without risking mutually assured destruction in this "atomic age" (since 1945 when nukes were invented). 1. The Korean War was the FIRST war in which Jet Airplanes fought each other in aerial combat (dog-fights). 2. The Korean War was known for it's back and forth fighting; some of it was trench warfare. 3. The Korean War ended by an Armistice.

Yeah. The United States couldn't give up the undeclared war against the Korean people and continues to threaten them with massive conventional forces and arms, and with nuclear weapons. Successive authoritarian rightist South Korean governments have continued to assume an aggressive stance toward the PDRK, as the United Nation complies. And our U.S. media and politicians characterize the North as "paranoid." Also, using traditional anti-Asian racist stereotypes, North Korea customarily is portrayed as mysterious, inscrutable. Surprised?

The armed forces(AFP) IS THE PROTECTOR OF THE PEOPLE AND THE STATE.ITS GOAL IS TO SECURE THE SOVEREIGNTY OF THE STATE AND THE INTEGRITY OF THE NATIONAL TERRITORY. AFP IS THE ONE WHO WILL PROTECT THE PEOPLE IN OUR COUNTRY PHILIPPINES BECAUSE THEY'RE THE ONE WHO CHOOSE BY THE GOV'T TO HAVE THE AUTORITY TO PROTECT PEOPLE AND ITSELF.

He did not think they would react as the UN soldiers approached the North Korean border with China. Hundreds of thousands of Chinese soldiers counterattacked the UN troops, pushing them back to the border with South Korea. He totally misjudged Chinese response to the UN soldiers a few miles from their borders.

Yes, the US military did fight in the Korean War from 1950 to 1953. It was a conflict between communists and non-communist and resulted with Korean being divided into North and South Korea at the 38th parallel. The war was widely unpopular and resulted in the election of Dwight D. Eisenhower at the next election, kicking out Harry S. Truman.

Actually, Korea was divided before the war broke out and is one of the causes of the war.

1) They wanted to stop the spread of communisum

2)South Korea wanted help

3)Korea needed financial help

Panmunjon, Korea

The Korean War broke out in 1950 for various reasons. For example, it broke out due to underlying tensions due to the Cold War.

There are no US Civil War Veterans alive today. The War ended 150 years ago.

Korean's have small eyes and therefore could not see the missles that were being thrown towards them. This then resulted in complete distruction of Korea. in order to rebuild Korea, many people thought that it would be a good idea to issue Communism. America said lol no and took over korea.

The Soviet Union was treating their newly conquered people very badly. So America began to send supplies. This Angered the soviet union because they were afraid that the people would like the american government better than theirs so the built the Berlin wall. After that america dropped in supplies from the air. This angered the Soviets even more for not respecting their wishes. It all went down hill from there.

Pork Chop Hill is located near Cheorwon in the north east corner of South Korea. UN forces battled chinese forces from March to July 1953 with heavy casualties on both sides. Chinese forces finally re-took the position on July 10 1953, just before an armistice was signed on July 27 1953.

Hines Ward, a retired NFL player. He is only half Korean.

Kim Yuna, current Olympic champion in the ladies figure skating.

Ban Ki Moon, is the current Secretary-General of the United Nations succeeding Kofi Annan in 2007. Before becoming Secretary-General, Ban was a career diplomat in South Korea's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and in the United Nations.

If the question asks was it ethical for the United Nations to intervene without a declaration of war, it must be remembered that there was no time for that. North Korea had already crossed the 38th Parallel with an army of 90,000 men. By the time war was declared, the entire country of South Korea would have been captured. If the question asks if the war was conducted ethically, in some ways it was, and in other ways no, but this may be said of many if not all wars.

It stopped Soviet-Red Chinese aggression in Korea and also served a deterrent effect on both for the 1950s. As a result of being liberated, South Korea steadily developed into a prosperous state.

Yes because Monsoons are hurricanes

Altogether, 26,791 Canadians served in the Korean War and another 7,000 served between the cease-fire and the end of 1955 when Canadian soldiers were repatriated home. There were 1,558 casualties, 516 fatal. While Canada's contribution formed only a small part of the total United Nations effort, on a per-capita basis, it was larger than most of the other nations in the UN force.

The president could send troops overseas without a congressional declaration of war.

The Soviet Union helped North Korea and America helped South Korea.

In1950,6,25 North Korea invade the south and did the war. At 1953 North and South did suspension.

It is why Korea divided.

It is because Korea has THE LINE

that line is not to be cross unless South and North Korea wants to reunite.

Since the governor can't go two places at once, they have to have different governments.

P.S. I used to live in Korea but now I live at Australia
