How Japanese benefited from Korean War?
Japan became an repair facility for: Warships, tanks, aircraft, trucks, communication gear, food supplies, small arms (rifles, pistols, machinguns, artillery). Some of the first US Army trucks to enter the Korean War were built by Toyota.
Mostly in Germany. The places involved in it are as listed:France, USSR, USA, England./the four sectors. The USSR and the USA played the major roles in this war.
AnswerThe Cold War lasted from 1945 to 1989, and it was carried out in many other places besides Germany. With regard to Germany, after World War 2 the Soviets closed the roads to West Berlin and attempted to force the Western powers out, but US and British aircraft supplied West Berlin entirely by air. When the Soviets attempted to make the US and British planes crash by jamming their radios, a French demolition team blew up the Soviet radio towers. Afterwards the Cold War in Germany, then divided into East Germany and West Germany, was mostly fought with spies and through the media. The news in Eastern Europe was state controlled, but the West responded with Radio Free Europe.To answer the question, the Cold War was fought just about everywhere. It was fought with real warfare in Korea, Vietnam, Malaya, Afghanistan, Angola, Cuba, Nicaragua, and many other countries. It was fought in underground missile bases which never launched but stood ready to do so on a 24-7 basis. It was was fought underwater in submarines racing to be the first to the North Pole. It was fought with all manner of sophisticated technology, including "surveillance" ships, "reconnaissance" planes, and satellites. The Space Race, in which the Soviet Union initially took the lead, was one of the more visible but less appreciated aspects of the Cold War as both sides attempted to upstage each other with the power of their rockets. It was fought with angry words at the United Nations. And it was fought with gentler words as both sides attempted to sway the Third World countries toward their respective ideologies. Although the Cold War did not turn into another world war, there was very little that was not affected by it in some way.
Korea has a LOT of different kinds of food, most very different from other countries. Korea is a peninsula in Asia, which means it's a bit of land sticking out into the ocean near China and Japan. Like most Asian countries, Korean meals involve a lot of rice and noodles. Because they have so much coastline and not much flat land, they have more foods involving fish than foods involving beef. Every meal has a lot of small bowls of side dishes around; veggies and tofu and stuff which you eat in addition to whatever main meal you've got. These are called banchan. A common banchan is kimchi, which is spicy fermented/marinated vegtables - usually cabbage, sometimes cucumber or carrot. Korean meals most familiar to westerners: ramen, which is a noodle soup; bi bim bhap, which is a bowl of rice with some marinated veggies, egg and chili paste; bul go gui, which is a barbecued beef usually eaten with rice and wrapped in a lettuce leaf If you want to learn more details about Korean food, try here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korean_cuisine
Why was President Truman against declaring war on China during the Korean War?
Truman did not want to give cause for World War 3 with China.
He was afraid that the soviet union might come to China's aid.
The situation could have escalated into a planet- wrecking Nuclear conflict. MacArthur favored expanding the war to China, and may have made remarks about bombing (either conventional or tactical nukes) the China Wall, this may explain his removal by President Truman. It should be noted the popular phrase ( Mac Arthur"s Bombers) aside- this was even an amusement park ride at one time- MacArthur was a Ground Army general, not an airman- unlike, say Curtis E. Lemay of SAC, or Hap Arnold in World War II, both AF officers.
Did you win or loose Korean War?
Neither- South Korea did. The U.S. helped South Korea win the war (U.S. always gets involved).
What was the last battle of the Korean war?
The crashing thru the gates of South Vietnam's capital by NVA T54/T55 medium tanks in April 1975 was the last battle.
In the end of the Korean War did the original boundaries between North Korea change?
Yes but not by much the 38th parallel was the line which divided the North which had been occupied by Soviet forces at the end of the second World War and the South occupied by US forces following an WWII agreement. They took over from occupying Japanese Forces. The countries were formed in 1948 and the border remained in place until 1950. After the war (1950-53) which involved large swings in occupied land both ways as various external forces entered the conflict (UN, China, USSR) the armistice was formed on the font line. The respective forces pulled back some 2km either side to create a DMZ (De Militarised Zone). The DMZ runs roughly along the 38th parallel but starts slightly south of it and runs north of it across the country. Kaesong was the only significant city to change starting off in the South and ending up in the North.
How were the motivations behind the Korean War and the Vietnam War similar?
Both were between northern communist and southern democratic countries. Both were proxy wars where communist red china supported the north, and the U.S. and their allies supported the South.
They differ in that the Korean war was simply stalled with a cease fire agreement, and the Vietnam war ended with the unification of the two into a single communist country.
Were any POWs left behind in Vietnam?
The numbers have ranged from 1900+ to over 2500. Some of the MIA's have been recovered by finding crash sites and returning the remains to the U.S. which is contributing some to the changes. Probably now there aren't many left due to horrible conditions, age, disease, etc.
Statistics still show over 1,500 US servicemen still MIA.
What is the location of Korea?
It's in Asia, right below North Korea.
North Korea and South Korea is separated because of a war that happened long ago. There still are many families that are separated from each other.

<- South Korea
Did South Korea win the Korean war?
Although the goal of uniting the Korean peninsula under communist rule was unsuccessful, North Korea and its Communist allies still consider the conflict a victory because North Korea's government survived and exists to this day.
Why did communist china eventually get involved in the Korean war?
China got involved in the war because by that time, UN forces had gotten pretty darn near the Chinese boarder, and they didn't want a UN force right at their doorstep. So they invaded and started pushing the UN all the way back to the 38th parallel
What role did the U.N. nations play in the Korean war?
Member countries of the UN supplied troops and war materials to aid South Korea.
What is the land between north and South Korea called?
The border between north and south korea is like the most heavily armed border in the world! I mean that they have gazillions of land mines buried, an electric fence that is so long and soldiers there who are armed.
