Korean War

Korea and china

The truce that stopped the fighting in the Korean War left North Korea and South Korea divided at the 38th parallel. The North remains communist controlled, while the South practices a western-inspired form of democracy. The war has never officially ended

korea is pea size compared to the us.

Yes. It is a typical communist country, in that the people can vote, but, they can only vote for one person-a communist. The leader of North Korea does not allow a free press, or allow people to have much control over their lives. North Koreans have been known to starve to death, or flee to China, to escape tyranny in North Korea. North Korea recently torpedoed and sunk a South Korean ship, which almost equal to declaring war on it's southern neighbor. North Korea is certainly run by a dictator and one who's mental abilities have been the subject of much negative speculation.

Cold War is when US and USSR is fighting on the economic functions (capitalism, communism). Korean War started because USSR wanted to spread Communism to the Pacific. Why? USSR was a group of Communist countries and same with US (they had NATO, USSR had something called Warsaw Union) so the more members, the bigger they become. When China and Northern Korea (North didn't exist yet officially) attacked south, US and UN stopped them from conquering the peninsula. So the Korean War is started, and is, officially, going (although the armistice was signed, it didn't end)

The benefits the south gets from the USA from 1950 till now is one of the main reason why thy more likely to ruin there neighbors gifts Russia ideally would gain from this war seeing that it supplies the north with all types of weapons.

japan

Lots of different countries because korea was a small country so other countries that were bigger then Korea took controlled of Korea

We learned how not to conduct a war for one. I'm not talking about the war itself, but rather the war back home. Allowing journalists to see everything and make reports caused extremely inflammatory stories about the war and while I don't think we ever belonged there in the first place, I've heard enough veterans say that news reports were not as bad as the reality to start believing that they're may be something to that. Don't let journalists in to see too much action because they are businessmen. They have to sell stories and stories that sell are ones that go for people's emotions, especially the negative ones. Don't believe me, then watch how the 24-news networks will cover perhaps isolated murders and kidnappings as though they were nation-wide epidemics, or the SARS virus which rarely killed anybody was treated like the second Black Death. The media loves to create a frenzy because then more people watch the news and they make more money. However, the journalists' presence also caused us to ask why ANY of our boys were dying for this war which raised the question, "Why are we fighting over there?" Thus exposing the fundamental flaw of the entire war. It wasn't the troops on the ground, journalists, protesters back home, but rather I think it was just we had no clear set of reasons for why this country was so important to us, what we would do after the war, and what we would get out of all this fighting. So in this respect having journalists is important because if there are those hazy areas in our logic, those types of questions are going to get asked. While no one can prove this conclusively one way or the other, it is possible that Vietnam may have actually helped stop the spread of communism in Southeast Asia. This is not a theory I believe in, but then again, who knows? We got to start developing the helicoptor as an effective tool of war, both offensively with gunships like the Cobra, as a transport mechanism like the Huey, and just as an all-around workhorse. Cannons were reattached to jet aircraft. The M-16 got its baptism of fire. We learned humility. Even though we were and are the strongest nation on earth, everyone knows you can't win all the time, so thank God our first loss was in a place that didn't matter to us that much. Think if we had learned defeat during WWII or the Civil War! Now that we have tasted it, we can learn from it and go forward into future conflicts a little wiser. We learned how NOT to treat our veterans. I think largely because of how Vietnam veterans were discarded and mishandled after they came home, Americans have relearned the importance of treating their veterans with respect and honor, which most of them have earned (growing up in the Army, I've met some of the very few who are not deserving of honor or praise, but most are great people. Best storytellers on the planet!). *We learned how not to conduct a war for one. I'm not talking about the war itself, but rather the war back home. Well, maybe we learned, but we must have forgotten. Generals on the ground in Afganistan and Iraq are being second-guessed by politicians who are responding to poll numbers which reflect the information (or disinformation) distributed by the media.

I dun noe , maybe Korea need The Phillipines to defend China?

It is the "DMZ", or de-militarized zone, is the heavily guarded border that separates North and South Korea.
The 38th parallel is the line that separates North and South korea.

Full military aid: Contemporary US jet fighters, Warships, Tanks, Small Arms, infantry equipment (steel helmets, uniforms, radios, etc.). Nationalist China was "considered" to be a participating ally in the Vietnam War, but that consideration didn't last long...because that particular "participation" would have definitely angered Red China; to the point of their possible entry into the war.

Nationalist China was one of the US's strongest allies in Asia. If you look at the websites of all of the US Navy warships (mostly destroyers), looking at their "final dispositions", you'll notice that many of them were sold to Nationalist China.

No, the UN, (including the US), and South Korea were fighting North Korea and China, (who had some help from the Soviet Union).

Based on the United State's withdrawal from Korea in 1950, and no American intervention in the communist takeover of China, communists believed the US would not be willing to fight in Korea. Kim Il Sung believed guerilla fighting had weakened the South Korean military, and that a North Korean invasion would be welcomed by the South Korean people, thus assuring a communist victory.

This question is a bit unclear.

If you are referring to the Korean war, 36,516 Americans were killed in that war.

If you are referring to World War II, 418.500 Americans were killed in that war.

MacArthurs' advance toward the Yalu River caused China to intervene, thus causing the UN forces to fall back in disarray

There are 3 possible places, but nobody really knows because u can't tell the future.

One possible way is Russia or China or both at war against the U.S.

Another is North Korea invading South Korea.

Another is Israel vs. Iran.

The Korean war was part of the Cold War do to its conflict over what type of government the country should have. This was very impotent to both the USA and the USSR because both wanted to spread the type of government they have to countries that were beginning to take shape like Vietnam.

US Army training for men (women went into the Women's Army Corps, which was disbanded in 1975) during the Korean War consisted of APPROXIMATELY eight weeks of basic training (boot camp) in which the soldier was taught "basic training": How to shine his boots, fix his bed, perform proper hygiene, shoot and maintain his M-14 rifle (after 1970, it was the M-16 rifle), throw hand grenades, utilize his C-Rations, perform first aid, operate a map and compass (Land Navigation). How to salute, the rules of war (Uniform Code of Military Justice), how to stand at attention, how to march, in ranks inspection, marching in parade, graduation.

Then onto his AIT (Advanced Individual Training) usually another 8 weeks for infantry. Each MOS (Military Occupational Specialty) was a different length of time. Medic schoot at Fort Sam Houston might be a 6 month AIT course.

After his AIT is completed. Then two weeks of training took place. Shooting his (live rounds) rifle from the hip WITHOUT bringing it to the shoulder and aiming, running and jumping into and out of the back of an army truck (2 1/2 ton) and firing blanks from his rifle.

The Korean War was a "clear" invasion of North Korea into South Korea. US/Allied Forces counter-attacked, AND INVADED North Korea; and Red China entered the war against the US/Allies. Korea was a "knock down, drag out" war, fought mostly in a conventional way in rough hilly, mountainous terrain of both North & South Korea. But because Korea is a PENINSULA, it was easily controlled by sea (US Navy) and communist supplies to support the war was limited to the Red Chinese/North Korean border; with which US Firepower easily controlled (it). With the "see saw (back and forth)" fighting going on, and the death of Soviet (Russia) Josept Stalin in 1953, both sides had had enough, and called an "Armistice" at the 38th Parallel; which is still in effect today. The Vietnam War was fought by infiltration by communist North Vietnam, in which, at the beginning, it was difficult to identify the enemy. Which brought to the "accustomed" to traditional warfare US Commanders abit of confusion; since all of our past wars had been relatively easy to ID enemy troops & activites. With the experience of Korea & WWII to back them up, US Commanders set about winning this war too. But this time, Washington wanted NO Communist Superpowers involved in the fighting. NO MORE Red Chinese Troops! So this time, there would be NO invasion of North Vietnam. To make it even more clear to the observing Communist Superpowers, US Aerial bombardment of North Vietnam would be "restricted" in certain areas, to AVOID killing or wounding any Communist Superpower technicians or merchant ship personnel (unloading war material in North Vietnam's harbors). These rules were one thing; but the real problem was the infiltration route(s), which were located in other countries besides Vietnam; like Laos and Cambodia. This meant, that unless the US/Allies brought those two countries into the war, the men & material reaching South Vietnam would NEVER be brought under control...as the Korean Peninsula had been brought under control. We now had a recipe for disaster. So we SECRETLY bombed Cambodia & Laos to rectify the situation. This turned out to be a temporary cure; the "Reds" kept coming. After over a decade of trying to empty the lake with a bucket, we decided to end it. So we left.

"It was founded by the Li (李) family, who seized power during the decline and collapse of the Sui Empire. The Sui Dyansty's second emperor was very cruel and wasted a lot of the state's resources and the people all hated him. Towards the end of his reign, the country was weak militarily so Li Yuan and his sons could seize power. The dynasty was interrupted briefly by the Zhou Dynasty when Empress Wu Zetian seized the throne, becoming the first and only Chinese empress regnant, ruling in her own right."

Neither. The instigator of the Korean War was the North Korean People's Army, which invaded South Korea on the 25th of June in 1950. On June 28th of the same year, South Korea bombed the bridge on the Han River. Up until this point, the United States had refused to engage in an act of war in Korea. But due to the change of events, and first entered combat against North Korean on July 5th. The People's Republic of China would not enter the conflict until three months after the initial confrontation.

First, South Korea alone will not be able to win the war by themselves against the North.

There were actually a plan ,or a senario, made by the USA, Bush Govt.

First, South Korea will bomb the North and try to engage in a war state with the North Korea. By the time when the nuclear or whatever missile drops back in Seoul, South Korea by the North Korean, they would have not enough left then to attack to defend their country.

Simply, later, USA will ally with South Korea and engage in a war too.

By that time, North Korea will have no chance of winning the battle.

After the war will be over, I probably think UN will take over the country and

manage the land.

That's about it.
