It has never been considered our most successful venture.

The term may have...

On June 25, 1950, the Korean War begins when North Korean troops invade South Korea, but the report goes largely unnoticed in Seattle. Seattle's principal role during the three-year conflict will be as a port of embarkation through which personnel and materiel flow to the Far East.

The first indication of the seriousness of the event came the next day when military installations in Puget Sound and in Alaska were placed on full alert. Even...

The decade after the Second World War saw Communism spread to the Far East, eventually dividing Korea. The Korean War lasted three years and peace was only achieved when the use of the atomic bomb was threatened. The problem in Korea In 1945, Korea was split along the 38th parallel between a communist north led by Kim IL Sung, and a non-communist south led by Syngman Rhee.

The Korean War This July 27th marks the 60th anniversary of the armistice agreement that ended the combat phase of the Korean War, but the conflict did not end on July 27, 1953, it merely came to a temporary halt.

On June 25, 1950, a war broke out on the peninsula of North and South Korea. The causes of this war were mostly attributed to North Korea's attempted conquest of the entire Korean peninsula. North Korea invaded the South and thus began the Korean War. This was a war that ultimately involved the forces of the United States and numerous other countries. The Korean War cost the lives of 2,000,000 people in only three years. This catastrophic loss of life was due to the events took place during...

Consequences of the Korean War * The Korean War never ended, and they are still under an armistice to this day. The Korean War is technically not over; all that's keeping the two sides from going to war again is a cease-fire agreement. * The Korean War brought the US and Russia further apart, and the fear of communism would later lead the US to throw itself into Vietnam, to avoid another North Korea. * It also brought China into conflict with the US, bringing bad feelings between the...

Samantha Gomez 12-06-12 On 25 June 1950, the young Cold War suddenly turned hot, bloody and expensive. Within a few days, North Korea's invasion of South Korea brought about a United Nations' "police action" against the aggressors. That immediately produced heavy military and naval involvement by the United States. While there were no illusions that the task would be easy, nobody expected that this violent conflict would continue for more than three years. Throughout the summer of 1950,...

Explain the causes of the Korean War The Korean War began in 1950 when Communist North Korea crossed the 38th parallel into Capitalist South Korea, however, it was not just an ordinary civil war, it involved 3 of the world’s biggest superpowers of the time, USA, China and Russia. Ultimately, their fight was indirectly played out in this small country. However, the main causes of the war can be debated. The cause of the war can be traced back to 1945 when the war ended and Korea was split...

To what extent do you think the Soviets were responsible for the North Korean attack in June 1950? • Stalin encouraged the North Korean president (Kim Il Sung) to invade South Korea in order to create a Korea that was led by him • The Soviets were in charge of Manchuria and the area around North Korea • Koreans were miserably treated by the Japanese during the Japanese invasion; the Koreans were made to work — by force • Japanese thought they were superior to the Koreans • When Mao came...

The Korean War (1950–armistice, 1953)[28] was a military conflict between the Republic of Korea, supported by the United Nations, and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, supported by the People's Republic of China (PRC), with military material aid from the Soviet Union. The war began on 25 June 1950 and an armistice was signed on 27 July 1953. The war was a result of the physical division of Korea by an agreement of the victorious Allies at the conclusion of the Pacific War at the end of...

The Acheson Defense Perimeter Speech was one of the most important factor contributing to the Korean War in 1950-1953. However, there are also other important factors such as Kim’s aggressive move to invade the South and US’s policy of containment. In January 1950, the US secretary of state, Dean Acheson, did not include South Korea in his list of countries that the USA would automatically defend against any communist aggression in his Defence Perimeter speech. Truman supported him in...

Korean War "Never before has this nation been engaged in mortal combat with a hostile power without military objective, without policy other than restrictions governing operations, or indeed without even formally recognizing a state of war," - General Douglas MacArthur. The Cold War dominated more than fifty years of the century. It was a war that contained victories for communism and for democracy some were fought with guns, others were fought with diplomacy, but no conflict was the same...

The Korean and Vietnam war are very similar in that both were the US's attempt to fight communism by waging war in a distant third world country. Both wars were unpopular in the US and both led to a lack of victory. In fact, remarkable similarities exist between the Korean War and the Vietnam War; from the US support of a dictatorial and corrupt anti-communist regime to its conception of communism as a monolithic entity, under which all communist nations were necessarily allies, rather than...

I agree to a large extent that the intervention of USA was more of a hindrance than help in resolving the Korean War. This is because USA prolonged the war, and made it international by getting China involved. However, USA was also a help because it provided the South with the manpower to fight back against the North Korean army and by pushing them back to the 38th parallel. The intervention of USA was more of a hindrance because the USA prolonged the war by invading into the North Korean...

The Causes of the Korean War, 1950-1953 Ohn Chang-Il Korea Military Academy ABSTRACT The causes of the Korean War (1950-1953) can be examined in two categories, ideological and political. Ideologically, the communist side, including the Soviet Union, China, and North Korea, desired to secure the Korean peninsula and incorporate it in a communist bloc. Politically, the Soviet Union considered the Korean peninsula in the light of Poland in Eastern Europe—as a springboard to attack...

In 1949, China was re-emerging as a world power, after finally defeating its long-standing civil war with Chiang Kai Shek and re-establishing it territory, it let the Chinese stand proud and on their feet for the first time in 100 years. However, they knew this would not last long when realizing they would be viewed as a threat to the imperialistic United States because of its attempts to take back Taiwan and the fact that they were a newly formed Communist government. They knew eventually China...

North Korea They wanted South Korea to join them under the rule of the communist. However, the U.N interfered with their invasion of SK. So, even after the fact, NK declared war on SK. General Douglas MacArthur He wanted to defeat the Korean army However, the Korean army was too powerful for him to take head on. So, MacArthur ambushed the army from all sides, surrounding them while the U.N’s troops fought them head on. They proved as a good distraction. President Harry...

Analyze the cause of the Korean War After the cold war, tension rose in Asia because of communist takeover of China in 1949. This began to concern the USA with the spreading of communism throughout Asia. When North Korea (communist) invaded South Korea (capitalist) in 1950, the USA’s fear were soon realized. In essence, this war was a civil war between North and South Korea however, there was a high risk that the USA, China and USSR would become involved. Korea had been conquered by...

Revision Notes: Korean War KOREAN WAR North Korea [Communist] invaded South Korea [Capitalist].

The Catalyst to the Korean War It is often thought of, as the “Forgotten War”, the Korean War took place between the years 1950-1953. Korea was a frequently fought-over peninsula in the late 19th century and early 20th century. Korea was dominated by China as a tributary nation for centuries, fought over by China and Japan in the first Sino-Japanese War (1894-1895) and fought over again by Japan and Russia in the Russo-Japanese War (1904-1905), both wanting it for colonization. It was...

Korean War The Korean War started in 1950 when North Korea attacked South Korea. The United Nations met to discuss this problem, and they decided to support South Korea against the attacking North. This happened just after World War II, and the United States was considered a super power. The president at the time, Truman, felt like once North Korea gained enough power, they would come and attack USA. To avoid a war on their soil, USA backed up South Korea. North Korea was a communist...

 “Seoul-ja” Boy The end of WW2 had divided Korea into two sides, a communist northern half and an American occupied south half. July 31st, 1953 Immediately following the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and after the surrender of Japan in 1945, Soviet troops poured into Korea. Appalled by this, the US responded by also moving troops into Korea to prevent the Soviets from gaining another Satellite state. The line that would separate the Soviet controlled sector from the American controlled...

American military officials are always thought of as men and women early defending our country and our friends and family in the military. In the case of Douglas MacArthur, this is not the case. MacArthur was willing to sacrifice the welfare of those under his charge for his own selfish reasons; political gain and to spite his boss and many other superiors. Truman clearly made the right decision to fire MacArthur, although it was a very unpopular choice. He saw the traits that made the general...

The Korean War would be a radical step in fighting wars, as well as the feelings people had toward the war. All wars in American History fought before the Korean War were based on either national survival or the gain of territory. A strong conflict was created between the Soviet Union and the United States. From this conflict, tension was so strong that wars were fougt in the midst of this Cold War. The Korean War was the first America ever waged that was not fought for national survival,...

‘The Outbreak of the Korean War was more due to external then internal factors’ Discuss When war broke out between North and South Korea on the 25th of June 1950 there were a large number of factors that contributed to the outbreak of conflict. This is partly due to the vastly complicated political situation in Korea itself, but also because the Korean War occurred during a period of transition for the entire world, from the ashes of World War Two to the flickering embers of the Cold War. In...

A Korean’s Message for the Filipinos 18 July 2008 Written by Jaeyoun Kim Filipinos always complain about the corruption in the Philippines. Do you really thinkthe corruption is the problem of the Philippines? I do not think so. I strongly believe that the problem is the lack of love for the Philippines.

Korean Civil War as Part of the Cold War On June 25 1950 North Korea invaded an unsuspecting South Korea. The South Korean army was pushed back to the southern edge of Korea until the United Nations armed with sixteen countries came into the war and pushed them right back close to China. After that, the South Koreans and U.N forces were pushed back to the 38th parallel where a cease fire happened on July 27 1953 and has held to this day. During this war, China and the Soviets both...

 The Korean War was a civil war between the nations of North Korea and South Korea, which was a result of the occupation zones of the Soviet Union and the United States that were established at the end of World War II. Often called the “forgotten war” because of the lack of attention Americans had given it, the Korean War demonstrated how the direction of United States foreign policy was affected during the Cold War. The failure to hold free elections after World War II throughout the...

Hot Conflict in the Cold War: The Korean War David Moore POLS 263 Instructor Morehouse December 13, 2012 The 1950’s were an unstable time in world history. The world had been divided by two opposing schools of thought: Capitalism and Communism. The Cold War was started after the Allied Powers victory in World War II. Not long after, the Soviet Union began nuclear testing and became the second super power to have atomic weapons. The threat of global annihilation was at an all-time...

The Korean War was the first major ‘proxy war’ of the Cold War, and was relatively significant to the development of the Cold War due to a number of factors. Overall it can be seen as a clear example of the United States’ policy of containment in action, leading to the vast growth of America’s military capability, as well as the globalisation of the Cold War due to the military alliances constructed by the US. Along with this, the Korean War ended with the emergence of China as the frontrunner...

The Korean War The Korean War was a war between North and South Korea. However it was fought between people who wanted Communist rule in Korea versus people who wanted freedom and democracy. It had no winners. All it had was people who lost their lives. Korea is a peninsula adjacent to China on the west. On the east, across the East Sea lies Japan. Korea is approximately 5000 square miles. It is about the size of Utah and is very mountainous. (Oberdorfer, 3) In Korea lies the most militarized...

The very first aim of USA in the Korean War was to drive out the invaders who were the communists from the South Korea from the North Korea. This aim is already accomplished by General Douglas Macarthur in 1951 when the war was in stalemate. Thus I saw no points of continuing the war. The United Nations did not only help USA by providing troops from the eighteen states but also by providing different kind of support (including to replace the obsolete weapons of USA). Therefore with the help of...

Why did the Korean War break out? Reasons as to why war broke out in Korea can be debated due to the fact that a number of factors contributed towards the war. The viewpoint of North Korea starting the war can be seen as Kim ill sung had the intention of reuniting Korea under communism, however there was hostility within South Korea as Syngman Rhee also aimed to reunite Korea under his nationalist views. The two superpowers of the time can be seen as responsible for the outbreak of war because...

During the events of the Cold war, many proxy wars began to engulf disputed, independent nations that were considered of importance. Two major wars being the Vietnam war, and the Korean war. The cause of the United State’s involvement in both wars, was the attempt to fight the spread of Communism. The president of the US at the time of the Korean war, Dwight D. Eisenhower, had an ideology that if a country became Communist, then Communism would spread to neighboring countries. Which...

To What Extent was the Korean War a Part of the Cold War? The Korean War, that began on the 25th of June 1950 and lasted until the 27th of July 1953, was a war between the Republic of Korea (South Korea) and the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (North Korea). It was initially the result of the political division of Korea by an agreement of the victorious Allies at the conclusion of the Pacific War at the end of World War II. American administrators divided the peninsula along the...

Amanda Evanson Immediate and Long-Term Effects of the Korean War University of Phoenix The Korean War started with communist North Korea invading anti-communist South Korea. The United States, who were already in North Korea to some extent joined forces with South Korea to help them against the North Korean invasion. They saw the Korean War as a fight against communism and felt that if North Korea was able to take over South Korea it would lead to communism spreading and taking over one...

“Assess the role played by local leaders in the outbreak and development of the Korean War and Cuban Missile Crisis.” The contest between two ideologies contested by USA and USSR had resulted in the localised conflict of Korean War and the Cuban Missile Crisis (CMC) to become a globalised conflict. In both the Korean War and CMC, the local leaders, Kim from Korea and Castro from Cuba played a significantly smaller role in the development of the Korean War and the CMC than the two major...

Mobile Surgical Army Hospitals and The Korean War The Korean War was a time of great peril. A time when sixteen United Nations countries came together to rebuild the peace and sovereignty of South Korea [Holloway, Wiley 272]. A time which despite this hopeful thought, resulted in horrific consequences. By the end of the Korean War resulted in four hundred thousand Koreans dead, one hundred thousand orphaned and three million Koreans homeless. Yet, stitched through this horrific event lies a...

How far was the US involvement with the Korean War a success? There were many ways in which United States involvement in the Korean war was seen to be a success, these include the most significantly, the US wanting to protect the independence of South Korea and to try and contain communism. Another reason being Truman wanting to appear tough in the face of communism, and to avoid direct contact with the USSR. The US also wanted to protect Japan as their security was vital. ...

Soon after the Soviet takeover of Eastern Europe, China became Communist in 1949. The Americans had always regarded China as their outpost in the East. A massive Communist stronghold had appeared. Furthermore, spies informed Truman that Stalin was using Cominform to help Communists win power in other parts of the world. Many believed the Domino Effect, where Communism spread from one country to another like wildfire. When South Korea was invaded in 1950, many thought that only military action...

Korean Immigration by Jenny Franko Pogi hajimara. In Korean, this translates to “don’t give up,” three words that became their motto during their times of despair. The Koreans have faced many difficulties, but managed to overcome them with the aid of hope. As soon as one war would come to an end, another one would start. Though Koreans have only recently immigrated in large numbers to the United States, due to North Korean oppression, they have managed to make a reasonable amount of...

1 There are so many different things people do when they are bored. Some pick on their nose, some read newspapers, and so much more things that will go beyond our imagination.

Many people in the world are mesmerized by Korean dramas that they are becoming worldwide. The dramatic scenes and interesting stories captivates people.

Nowadays, many Korean are prejudiced against the Japanese. The main reason why we feel antipathy for them is the Imjin War of 1592 and the era under the colonial administration of imperial Japan. Then, I will write about why we have gotten antipathy, even though we won the Imjin War and we separated from Japan now. Also, that is all water under the bridge. Toyotomi Hideyoshi, unified Japan for the first time and wanted to make territorial expansion. Plus, they believed the power of rifles made...

The Inchon landing, on the 15th September 1950, was a great military success for the USA. It was a high risk strategy; there was a large tidal change, no beaches, and a high possibility that the Koreans would mine the area. MacArthur appointed Lieutenant General Edward Almond with the 1st Marine Division to spearhead the attack. The leader of North Korea, Kim Ill Sung, was taken completely by surprise and therefore no mines had been placed on the harbour, despite Mao (the Chinese leader) warning...

Did Eisenhower’s nuclear threat end the Korean war? American Secretary of State John Foster Dulles often bragged about how nuclear brinkmanship by the United States finally brought the other side to agree to a negotiated settlement of the Korean War in July 1953. According to him it proved that the threat of massive retaliation or a "a bigger bang for a buck" could work. It is true that America let it slip that atomic weapons being placed in Okinawa, that Chiang Kai-shek was being permitted...

How far was the Korean War a militant and political success for the US? The world was by taken by surprise when North Korean forces crossed the 38th parallel in June 1950. The war that followed soon snowballed out of proportion, spreading out to involve China, the Soviet Union, and the UN and is said by historians to have shaped US foreign policy as it is today. But was the war a success, or was it merely another black whole swallowing the lives of American, Korean and Chinese soldiers?...

Imagine if the United States was divided into two separate countries, a communist nation and a democratic nation. Pretend you lived in the communist nation. There you would have no freedoms and rights. Your economy is also declining. You want to reunite with the democratic nation, but they don’t want you back. Your country has a bad reputation for nuclear weapons, violence, and discrimination against people who don’t believe in communism. This is what North and South Korea are going through...

"Johnson had miscalculated: Even the richest and most powerful nation in the world could not do it all" (Turbulent Years: The 60s 36). Lyndon B. Johnson is a president torn to pieces by war.

What impact did Johnson's foreign policies concerning Vietnam War have on American society? The Vietnam War really isn't a war. Congress never declared war and...

Why did the US enter the Vietnam War? The Vietnam War was fought during the cold war on 1 November 1955 - 30 April 1975. The Vietnam War was a war fought between the North and South Vietnam mainly, but in later year the US would join in to help South Vietnam ward off the communist mind of Ho Chi Minh and North Vietnam. The Vietnam today is no longer called a war in fact no war since World War I and II have been wars. Instances like Vietnam have merely been police interference or police...

In the past war has caused many controversies and has been in many cases a detriment to our nation, but do the consequences of war outweigh the benefits?
