Korean War

No. Its two completely separate conflicts. The motives for both wars are however similar, as they both relate to the cold war. Both wars started because of the wests, mostly USA, efforts to stop the spread of communism. As the Korean war was seen as a succes on USAs behalf, the Vietnam war was a complete failure.

Korea is by the 38th parallel, about even with Oregon & California. The Philippines are around the 15th parallel about even with Central America (El Salvador, Costa Rica, etc.).

South Koreans had little weapons and military because the Korean war took place soon after WWII. WWII ended in 1945 and the Korean war started in 1950. So South Korea was still "recovering" from the second world war. Many South Korean cities were bombed or heavily damaged as the North Koreans invaded. It was also hard because the homes were distroyed and children were separated from there parents and wound up left in the street. It was a very hard time for South Korea. The North Koreans were at first unchecked in their invasion of the South, however, once the United Nations cited North Korea as the aggressors and authorized UN members to stop the invasion the situation changed. UN forces, led by the US military pushed the invaders back into the North. It was then that North Korean civilians were victims of collateral damages. When Communist China aided the North Korean communists, the situation for the latter two nations improved.

No. North Korea's military contains old equipment and ineffective technology. North Korea relies very heavily on the fact that it does not actually have to engage its forces against its enemies, rather it relies on the myth of greatness in the show of numbers and display of fanaticism and loyalty.

N Korean soldiers are considered fanatical and are considered loyal as long as its forces remain intact. They however, lack the ability to adapt and act independently when their planned environment disintegrates.

US/South Korean tanks and missiles can engage and destroy the DPRK vehicles long before the N Korean vehicles are in range to return fire. N Korea has no answer to US and South Korean long range Air to Air missiles, they have no answer to US GPS guided cruise missiles and no answer to GPS guided precision air to ground bombs. The US has long ago worked out counter measures to all of the N Korean 70s and 80s technology, while impressive on battlefield demonstrations, these rapid fire behemoths are generally not effective in the 21st century.

The US strategy would be to rely on precision attacks that overwhelm the approaching enemy with overwhelming firepower.

Every last N Korean naval ship would be destroyed before any US ship was in range of N Korean guns. Every N Korean air squadron would be grounded or destroyed with a couple of days.

The 30 year period from 1980-2010 was the greatest leap in military technology ever with the rise of micro electronics, laser sensing and GPS. The N Koreans simply have missed that leap.

A conflict between North Korea and South Korea\US would resemble more Kuwait/Iraq 1991 than Kursk. The N Koreans would put up pockets of resistance in certain mountainous areas, however the US/S Korean strategy at that point would likely be to stand off those skirmishes and wait out the collapse of the N Korean military.

As far as nukes are concerned, the US/S Koreans would likely no want to obliterate N Korea even if the North attempted an attack. The North has very few nukes and no real way to affectively launch a nuke attack. The best they could ever do would be to threaten a civl catastrophe. If they succeeded in causing a massacre of civilians in the South with a couple of bombs, it would only hasten the North's downfall.

The US would not allow a post nuke attack N Korea to stand.

because they both wanted to go to El Salvador ( the best country in the world)

The Korean War was fought between the Republic of Korea (South Korea) and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea). Each country allied themselves with a major power during the conflict. South Korea was assisted by the United States, while North Korea was assisted by China and Russian military advisors.

Yes. In fact, Mexico is one of the original founding members of the United Nations Charter signed on June 26, 1945

The main causes of the war in Lebanon was the fact that the Syrian government had forced itself into Lebanon, and the Lebanese did not like this. Also in Lebanon, there was a war between Christians and Muslims. The cause of the Lebanese civil war was neither exclusively internal nor exclusively external, nor was its settlement. The civil war came to an end at a specific historical juncture when movement toward internal reconciliation coincided with favorable regional and international developments.

The effects of the Lebanon war started with an economy that went down and was no longer effective. But more importantly, the war caused a huge damage in all the cities in Lebanon. At that time, Lebanon did really need a rebuilding situation in all aspects. Moreover, There was a great loss of people where as today, some dead bodies still hidden underground since the war. In the late 1960s, especially after the 1967 war, internal and regional changes began to adversely affect Lebanon. Internally, so- political polarization among the Lebanese increased. There was a growing migration of the rural population to Beirut, moving into poverty belts around the city, and suffering from rising inflation and cost of living. So - political tensions fueled rural uprisings and workers' strikes, and the emergence of a militant student protest movement.

Could've been GEN MacArthur with his WWII win win attitude. And it could've been Pres Truman replying back with his, "...this is the wrong war, with the wrong people, at the wrong time..." and Mac was relieved of command (fired in civilian terms).

A true statement about the Korean War is that it lasted for 3 years, 1 month and 2 days. It is estimated that 2.5 million civilians were killed or wounded in the war.

Oppressively

China sent troops during the Korean war to the North to help them fight the South. Russia gave the North and China weapons.

It was built to remember all the loved ones and friends that people lost.

They took refuge in Busan but technically Seoul was still their capital city.

Korea was occupied by Japan till the end of WW II. Towards the end of war Soviet Union occupied Northern part of Korea and USA occupied Southern part. The territorial dispute between USSR and China supported Northern Korea and USA supported South Korea resulted in start of full scale hostilities in 1950.

The median age of Korean War veterans is estimated to be 69 years, with an estimated 336,500 under age 65, 3.25 million aged 65 to 74, and an estimated 363,600 aged 75 or older. So about 17-24 is about the average age.

No such list exists.

The Korean War was ended by an Armistice signed in 1953.

On July 8, 1950 General Douglas MacArthur was directed to assume command of all United Nations (UN) forces in Korea and to use the UN flag concurrently with the flags of all UN nations participating. General MacArthur held this command until April 11, 1951 when he was replaced by General Matthew Ridgway. General Ridgway commanded the UN forces in Korea until was assigned as Supreme Allied Commander, Europe. General Ridgway was succeeded by General Mark Wayne Clark who assumed command of UN forces on May 12, 1952. General Clark commanded through the cease-fire on July 27, 1953. *As a footnote, the UN troops in Korea were not "peacekeepers." They were soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines of many nations. They were not there to "keep the peace." They were there to maintain the sovereignty of the Republic of Korea bydestroying the North Korean and Chinese forces on the Korean Peninsula. "Peacekeeper" is a fairly modern politically correct term which detracts from the true nature of the modern warrior.

Inherit power from his father.

commusnist north Korea being supplied by the ussr

and capitalist south Korea being supplied by the un primarily us

it ended up becoming a stalemate due to Douglas MacArthur pushing past China's comfort zone so they push south Korea back to the border where it started

There is always a way to avoid war, but sometimes events overwhelm people. It can be argued that if the Potsdam Conference and the Yalta Conference had not included an agreement between the US and the Soviet Union to split the Korean Peninsula, the war never would have happened. It can also be said that if Secretary of State Dean Atchison had included South Korea in his statement about the US Pacific Defense, the communist North Koreans may not have thought they could win, thereby avoiding the war. Possibly, if World War 2 had ended with a conditional surrender of the Japanese, granting them rights to Korea, the war would not have happened. There are many ways the war could have been avoided, just as many things, through hind-sight, could be avoided.

WW1 resulted in three important impacts on history: 1. The introduction of air to air combat (aerial warfare/dog-fighting). 2. The introduction of tanks (armor) and an end to massive human wave assaults by infantrymen; submarine warfare, the conducting of "guerre de course" (Merchant/Commerce Raiding). 3. An Iron Cross Medal winner for gallantry on the battlefield, Corporal Adolf Hitler, Austrian/German Army. The future leader of WW2 Germany.
