Korean War

North and South Korea remained separated. North Korea=Communist and South Korea=Democratic

From F.S. (aka Gas Station Owner

Father: Arthur MacArthur, Jr.

Mother: Mary MacArthur (Also called Pinky)

Jizi (Gija) from Zhou dynasty of China settled Korean peninsula first and ruled in 11th century BC. He was believed to be first founder of Korea

Panmunjom, Korea is where negotiations between the United Nations-led by the United States-and the Communist North Koreans to end the Korean War took place. The separation between North Korea and South Korea was originally the 38th Parallel, but the new truce decided on a boundary between the countries that was more defensible. The countries also exchanged prisoners-of-war as a result of the Panmunjom negotiations.

NORAD stands for: North American Aerospace Defense Command

The music of the 1940's (WW2) was still popular with US Forces. The Korean War took place from 1950-1953.

No, Harry S. Truman did not start the Korean War. The North Koreans started the war when they invanded South Korea. North Korea claimed the South Korea invaded first but that claim was later found to be a bogus claim.

He chose Inchon.

The Korean War (1950-1953)

Truman committed troops to enforce the UN demand on June 30, 1950.

Depends, which one are you talking about, the recent one or the Korean war one? Well the Korean war one was because Kim Jong wanted the South Korea to reunite with North Korea with North Korea as the leader and the recent bombardment of South Korea's island was because north Korea said they felt "threatened" when the south Koreans did a live military drill near the borders

The North Korean government uses concentration camps to keep their citizens under control. The government has created an illusion, and an entire history where facts have been created and changed, as to teach it's people that North Korea is a blessed land and the dictator is the blessed leader. Anytime a citizen is thought to have doubted the things that the government teaches, either complaining about food shortages, speaking against the government, or practising christian beliefs; they and their family are taken to a concentration camp. The concentration camps then serve the government as a place where these "criminals" can be watched closely and monitored. The government uses these people to do most, if not all, of the production that comes from N.K. They are given minimal food and shelter and a new set of "clothes" once a year.

no one has to get any permission to invade a country!

More than 50,000 U.S. soldiers were killed during the Korean War, and about 8,100 are still listed as missing in action.

The Korean War was the first "hot" battle of the COLD WAR. Communists verses the Free World Forces.

The single major event leading up to the Korean War was a speech given by Dean Acheson, the American Sect of State. Acheson's speech on January 12, 1950, before the National Press Club did not mention the Korea Peninsula as part of the all-important "defense perimeter" of the United States, an omission that critics subsequently took to mean that the United States would not defend the RoK from communist attack It has been said that Acheson's speech emboldened the North Koreans to attack, believing that South Korea lay beyond the American defense line, and that American support would be limited.

Well, on the South Korean side of the DMZ (demilatarized zone) there are about a million soldiers guarding their side. While on the North side, there are only a few thousand of soldiers.

Domino theory, part of the cold war.

The attacks by North Korea on South Korea were seen as a proxy effort by China and the USSR to extend the influence of communist states. The US was pursuing a policy of containment to limit this spread.

When the UN condemned the invasion, the US and other UN members sent forces to assist the South. Eventually this led to a prolonged war (1950-1953) between forces of the US and China in Korea.

--

Under the "domino theory" any spread of communist influence, as in Korea, could lead to the loss of Japan or other Asian countries. The US saw the North Korean offensive as a move to expand Soviet influence, and acted in order to forestall aggression elsewhere in the world. The criticism of Truman as being 'too soft' on Communism after the fall of China gave political impetus to US involvement as well. A similar scenario led to the massive US intervention in Vietnam in the 1960s.

Because Mao Zedong and the central committee feared that the United States would continue its invasion of the North Korea and move on to invade China, they also felt obligated to help the north Koreans who had assisted them in their own war of liberation against the Japanese. Mao disliked Kim-Il-Sung however, and thought that he was a Soviet Puppet

to stop the spread of communism

Hungary was an axis power and following its defeat was occupied by the Soviet Union. As in other countries, the USSR imposed its type of government shortly after the war.

the Korean war was important because it had such a big influence on Korean history and present time, there are American troops stationed across Korea, and the war has started conflicts between the north and south, this separation of north and south Korea keeps many countries under the threats of north Korea, this makes north Korea probably the only communist country

{| |- | Everyone was concerned by what would happen if it actually went hot. If actual war had erupted, and one side started to lose, there was a good chance they would use nuclear weapons. This would have had a devastating effect on the entire Earth and neither side would win. But neither side wanted to lose. |}
