Korean War

The Government North Korea has today is a Dictatorship.

Kim Jong-Il rules the country with mighty power.

Douglas MacArthur was relieved of his command in the pacific by president Harry Truman because of his failures in the first two of the three phases of the Korean war, the first in trying to hold the communists at the 38th paralel (the border between North and South Korea), and then in trying to push the communist Chinese forces out of Korea, which he thought he had nearly done when he push them to the China- North Korean border, but in reality, the communists were withdrawing and ammasing their forces on the border, and when the UN troops were spread out thinly across all of Korea, they struck, pushing the UN forces all the way back to the 38th paralel and a little beyond.

Mcarthur also wanted to attack China (as they were sending troops to assist the North Koreans in return for their assistance during the Chinese civil war which took place during World War 2, which the communists won), using Chinese nationalist troops (the democratic Chinese forces left over from the civil war, which they had lost) to augment UN forces in a full out assault on China, after which he wanted to drop 30 to 50 nuclear bombs along the neck of Manchuria (the section of China that borders Korea), the prupose of which would be to turn the China- North Korea border into an impassable, "radioactive no man's land for sixty years".

This plan was not the reason for Mcarthurs' being removed from his command, though it probably pushed Truman to the decision, as a poll back in America had shown that the majority of the population did not favor an all out war with China.

Also MacArthur ran a ship aground I belive and he argued with Truman about bombing china directly and that's when Truman relived his command

He was relieved of his command because he was disregarding his superiors

Prime Minister Hwang Kyo-ahn became the acting President on December 9, 2016 when Parliament voted to impeach President Park Geun-hye. PM Hwang Kyo-ahn will continue to act of President until the impeachment trial is over.

Currently, the leader of South Korea is Park Geun-hye. She became the 11th president of South Korea on February 25, 2013.

Lee Myung-bak was the president of South Korea from from February 25, 2008 to February 25, 2013.

A non-believer in war is one who is completely against combat between groups. These types of people find war utterly stupid and find no reason to kill others for land, protection, and money. A good example of this are the hippies of the Vietnam War.

"뭐하지?" Mwuh-ha-jee? or "뭐 할까?" Mwuh-hal-kka?

Not sure what you mean when you say "what to do?" Do you mean this as an expression of despair? If this is the case you should say, Od do ka myun cho ah. (What is the best action under these circumstances)

If your saying what shall we do..the above is correct....but, familiar....Don't speak this way to an elder just to a peer.

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

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.
