Korean War

When Soviet & US/Allied forces drove their invasions toward the enemies positions, such as the center of Berlin or near the 38th parallel in Korea or the 17th parallel in Vietnam, that's where the leadership of those particular combatants would draw the line.

The president of South Korea, Syngman Rhee

General Douglas MacArthur commanded as supreme commander until his relief by President Truman. LGen Matthew Ridgeway was then appointed o the command.

The Korean War was a United Nations force supporting South Korea against a North Korean-Chinese invasion.

The Vietnam War was a US-led coalition supporting South Vietnam against a North Vietnam invasion supported by China and Russia.

The total number of casualties in World War I, both military and civilian, were about 37 million: 16 million deaths and 21 million wounded.

the North remained controlled by Communists

Answer this question… Both were proxy wars in which the United States, the Soviet Union, and China became involved.

The common link was a Communist government. It was in China's best interest to keep North Vietnam as an ally which also allowed the opportunity to spread Communism.

North Korea is communist

South Korea is capitalist

The main cause of death for N. Korea now is starvation.

Because it is ruled under a communist dictatorship, by kim-jong-il, it is a single-party state, it has absolutely no internet or mobile connection available, it is restricted to enter or exit the state, the population is brain-washed, there is practiced strict censorship,...

The list can be continued to infinity, and lead to feudalism.

Since Koreans are stupid they decided to put all the dumb people in the north and all the less stupid ones in the south. Once they officially split, all the People in north korea killed each other. All except a mother and her great great uncle who had autism, HIV and serve retardation. These two people procreated together which lead to the current population of 24 million.

Truman limited the war to the Korean peninsula, MacArthur had encouraged widening the war to hit Chinese bases in Manchuria. Khruschev and Chairman Mao made a mistake by boycotting the UN permitting the US to obtain a UN mandate for supporting South Korea. Overall, the Communists were not permitted to absorb South Korea and in response the Chinese prevented the US from absorbing North Korea into South Korea. Commander of all Chinese Communist forces was Peng Dehuai who held the position from the start to the end of the war.

At the end of World War II, Japan surrendered Korea to the Allies. The country was then divided into two parts, North Korea and South Korea. The United States withdrew its troops when the Republic of Korea was set up. They provided economic support. On June 25, 1950, North Korea invaded South Korea. The United States then backed up South Korea and fought with them. So did many other Allied countries. In the first few weeks of the war, North Korean forces met little resistance and advanced rapidly. By September tenth, the South Korean Army had been driven to the Southeast tip of South Korea. On September fifteenth, the United Nations forces made a daring counterattack. They landed at Incheon. This was on the West coast. On October nineteenth, the North Korean capitol was captured. Eventually the U.N troops drove the North Korean troops to the border of China. China saw this as a threat and launched a counteroffensive. The communist forces worked together to force the U.N back to South Korea. They then captured the South Korean capitol. The fighting was eventually drawn back to the borders of the two countries. The border was called the 38th parallel. That is where it remained for the rest of the war. The countries never signed a treaty so technically they are still at war.

There were 36,516 killed including 2,830 non-combat deaths.

the containment policy was issued to stop the spread of communism what happened in Korea was that we or America stopped communism from spreading all the way through Korea we controlled it and kept it half way in north Korea i believe it was succes

about 2 days. it ended when the dudes granpa died because he was stabbed by a gobiln

Syngman Rhee. Rhee had originally been an opponent of Japanese occupation in Korea (from 1910 to 1945). He had lived in exile in the United States for many years and studied at several American Universities. He became President of the Republic of Korea in 1948 and assumed dictorial powers during the Korean War. He was eventually forced to resign in 1960 after protests over his rigging of elections.

As a staunch anti-Communist, Rhee was supported by the Americans and the West, but he remains controversial due to the number of civilians who died during his attempts to purge South Korea of Communists.

The citizens vote directly for the government not the party

mostly the state

Well Korea used to be one country, but then after World War II, Korea was taken away from Japan and became independent. But they decided not to be on country and they split into two countries, hence North and South Korea. North Korea became a communist government with the help of the soviet Union and South Korea became a democratic government with the help of the United States.

The Soviets supported North Korea while The U.S. supported South Korea.
