Korean War

Korea is two countries (North Korea and South Korea) on a peninsula.

South Korea was on the verge of losing the Korean War. However, USA felt that if South Korean was taken over by the Communists then Japan was not too far away from being attacked. They decided to send large number of troops to South Korea and General Douglas MacArthur was the leader of the troops.

Now, if you look at the Korean map. You can notice that Incheon is located in the left middle of the whole Korean peninsula. Douglas felt that if he were to attack Incheon, he could divide the North Korean armies, resulting in detoriation of the army. The attack is remembered as "Battle of Incheon". From the battle, the South Koreans and USA united raided the confused North Koreans and were about to unite the country when China stepped in. Roosevelt, the president of U.S then, decided not to mess with China, hence he ordered his troops to come back to U.S.

MacArthur rebuffed his boss's order and stayed, resulting in his discharge.

That's hard to say. Depending on where you go (I got this from Wikipedia) there were about 1 million Allied troops in the war, who met about 1 million North Korean, Soviet, but mostly Chinese troops in the war. As for survivors, here my's best estimate: S. Korea: 360,111 US: 248,153 Columbia: 928 Belgium: 803 UK: 13, 488 South Africa: 806 Canada: 5,837 The Netherlands: 708 Turkey: 4,736 Australia: 1,991 Phillipines: 1,402 New Zealand: 1,351 Thailand: 1,090 Ethiopia: 1,151 Greece: 1,094 France: 831 Peoples' Republic of China: 648,000 As for the North Koreans and Soviets I don't know.

Harry Truman was angered when MacArthur demanded an unconditional surrender from North Korea during the Korean War. Harry Truman fired MacArthur after a congressman received a letter from MacArthur stating this idea. MacArthur knew that this would be a way to prolong the war in Korea.

In 1950 the korean war start and i don't kow where did korean war started. Sorry

Yes, there are still around 24,000 American troops in Korea. They are mainly stationed around Seoul.

Contact your local Veterans Service office. You will most likely need his dates of service, units he served in, rank, branch, and social security numbers to track this down. If this is the wrong office they will tell you who to contact.

The Korean War took place on the Korean Peninsula, from Pusan on the southern tip to the Yalu River which forms the border between North Korea and China.

The USSR was boycotting the UN at the time and the USSR was trying to take contrel of all of Korea, so the UN took South Korea and the USSR took North Korea.

They didn't want another world war and didn't want another country being taken over.

South Korea was a presidential republic country, much like the U.S, and was an ally of the U.S and the U.N. And the U.N and western powers appposed of communist expansion.

Communist aggression led UN Forces to battle the forces of Communism and held the line against them at the 38th Parallel, which still exists today.

To stop the advance from North Korea in to the democratic south Korea.

There was great concern called the "Domino Theory" that projected communism would expand country-by-country throughout Asia, and the U.S. was committed to stop the encroachment. Preserving a democratic South Korea and South Vietnam became the impetus for war in those nations.

The answer is not approximate but around 1,500,000 fought.

North Korea: Land area and Natural Resources is bigger then South Korea. South Korea: Population and Economy is alot bigger then North Korea. Both Korea's even out in the end. If you combine or unite Korean peninsula into one state. It would be alot better and bigger for all Koreans Economically, Politically, Military, and Culturally, Geographicaly.

Russia developed its own nuclear program, and was aided by espionage.

This can not be answered because there never was a Koren war. Koren is a girl's name my name it is a variation of Coreen or Corinne and other names of the sort though there was a Korean war. Yet I know nothing about that.

at that time, the USSR was boycotting the un for it let KMT government(in Taiwan) occupied official seat in security, ignored mao's government in beijing.

so there's no veto to stop un got a force.

and it really was the NK first attactde SK`

Severe shortage of supplies, with the blockade of Southern ports becomng more effective.

In the last months of the war, with Sherman and Sheridan destroying farms in the most fertile parts of the South, the troops were on short rations, and the army that surrendered to Grant at Appomattox were barefoot and starving.

The Korean War was fought between the Russians (Soviets) and the US; using North & South Koreans, and free world troops, and using the peninsula of Korea (the country of Korea) as a battleground. The Soviet Union and United States TESTED there equipment against each other. Korea was a testing ground between the US & Soviets.

It began in 1950 when the North Korea invaded South Korea. The Communists quickly overpowered the Republicans and captured the capital of Seoul, near to the border. They crossed through the country, eventually surrounding the area around the city of Pusan, which became known as the Pusan Perimeter. At this point, the United Nations intervened.

President Harry Truman saw the Korean War as an important test of the United Nations. Both objectors (China and the USSR) were absent from the Security Council: the recent revolution meant the newly Communist China hadn't yet been included, so the USSR had boycotted the council as a result. The remaining members unanimously agreed to intervene.

The first UN forces (which were mostly American) arrived at Pusan where the successfully defended the Perimeter. More forces landed at Inchon, just outside Seoul, and retook the capital. North Korea forces were forced to retreat and the invasion was repelled as quickly as it started.

By the time the UN agreed to allow the war to continue into North Korea, they were already there. However, in the mountains they encountered difficult terain and a harsh winter. Chinese forces entered the North and pushed them out, eventually recapturing Seoul. Seoul was soon recaptured, but the war ended up in deadlock and trench warfare for the next two years. In 1953, a ceasefire ended the conflict.

The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North) and The Republic of Korea (South) are two different countries divided after WWII defeat of Japan who occupied the Korean Peninsula. The USSR occupied the North and The USA occupied the South. They were never reunified despite Northern Efforts in The Korean War.

The Korean war is not really over. While the fighting ended, the war officially never has because no peace treaty has been signed.

That would be 60 years as of 2010.

The actual fighting however only lasted 3 years and 1 month.

The nations that were involved in the Korean war were the US who aided south Korea and the soviet union, who aided north Korea.

Americans can go to North Korea, if they follow these instructions

1. get official permission from the North Korean government.

2.If they send you a visa, you can go there, if not, you can't and you have to give them a good reason.
