During the Korean War, Congress largely supported the U.S. military intervention as part of the broader strategy to contain communism. The conflict was framed as a critical test of America's commitment to this policy, with many lawmakers believing that failing to support South Korea would embolden communist forces globally. However, there were also concerns about the escalation of U.S. involvement and the potential for a wider war, leading to debates about the limits of presidential power in committing troops without a formal declaration of war. Overall, Congress played a role in shaping the war's narrative while balancing support for military action with concerns over its implications.
