Gorge F. Kennan's Contributions

The Korean War was an influential event that started in 1950 and caused a lot of controversy among Americans and Koreans. The war was caused by the US trying to preserve the Democratic side of Korea, the south side. The Koreans were not happy, however, and the Viet Kong and North Korean soldiers fought tooth and nail to get the Americans out of the country. There was eventually an end to the war of course but not without lots of casualties on both sides and a hostile environment around the border of the two countries.

The Korean War occurred from 25 June 1950 to 27 July 1953 when armistice was signed. (Stokesbury) It was between Republic of Korea and Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. United Nations were on the South Korea side and China and Soviet Union were at North Korea side. North Korea invaded South Korea after United States’ military evacuation. North Korea occupied most of South Korea, but after Incheon Landing, it turned the tide of the war. Finally, the war ended by declaring ceasefire and made Military Demarcation Line. The war was significant because it was the war between democratic and communist countries. It was also the time of Cold War when Soviet Union and United States were having political and diplomatic conflicts

The Korean War (25 June 1950 – 27 July 1953) was a war between the Republic of Korea (South Korea), supported by the United Nations, and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea),

Traditionally, examination of the black Civil Rights movement focuses on the careers of Martin Luther King and Malcolm X. Dr. King and Malcolm X had very different ideas on how to solve the racial discrimination in America. Dr. King was an integrationist who used non-violent protest to focus the media on the moral wrongs the dominant white society imposed on blacks. Dr. King believed that exposing the outrages of segregation would force the government to mend the system. Malcolm X was a separationist who believed in fighting back when attacked and advocated that the blacks in this country should take what by all means is rightfully theirs. The white system was corrupt, argued Malcolm X, and blacks should start their own system rather

The Korean War started On June 25, 1950. The Korean War began when 75,000 soldiers from the North Korean People’s Army (which were communists) attacked across the 38th parallel. The Korean War was fought between North and South Korea; US forces had come to the help the South Korean people. Gen. Douglas MacArthur was the leader of the US army, he got control of both the US and the South Korean army because of how brave and smart he was. They moved to the north of the 38th parallel in an attempt to destroy, and conquer the North Korean side. The Chinese troops were in support of the North Korean side. The Korean Demilitarized Zone is a strip of land running across the Korean Peninsula it was established at the end of the Korean War to serve as a an area of land between the two armed forces so they are not allowed to enter into each other's properties, making it less likely that they will attack each other between North and South Korea. The Chinese tried pushing

The Korean War begun on the arrival of the North Korean Army troops consisted of 750.000 soldiers at the 38th parallel- the imaginary boundary between South Korea- on une 25, 1950 (History.com Staff,2009). According to (PBS, N.D.), Korean War was the first war to provide the confrontation of nuclear powers and the war also showed how hard was the difficulty of both sides to create the right decision on when to attack using the bomb at the right time. Although it might seemed to be difficult, the attacks from Soviet Union and China on behalf of North Korea was hard to repel so that United Nation was asked to help South Korea repelled those attacks (PBS, n.d.). By the end of the brutal war that lasted 60 years there were two millions victim

During the 1960’s, the Civil Rights Movement involved ending segregation and inequality in order for black people in America to attain equality and justice. Although the whites and nonwhites were citizens of the United States of America, the whites had civil rights and they were superior, while the blacks didn’t have the same rights as the whites did and they were considered inferior. Many blacks protested about the blacks rights and eventually more people heard about it and decided to follow along. There were several civil rights leaders, such as Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, and more, that wanted to end injustice for all black people in America. King and Malcolm X were willing to do anything they could to help the blacks get justice and equality, but the focal point here is about how Malcolm X’s views, such as the Nation of Islam, separation/segregation, Christianity, and violence relate to African Americans, race, and the Civil Rights Movement.

On June 25, 1950, the Korean War began when 75,000 North Korean People’s Army (NKPA) troops moved across the 38th parallel. Later that same day the United Nations demanded that North Korea withdrawal its forces and return to its borders. Kim Il Sung disregarded this and ordered his troops to press forward and by June 29, 1950, the capital of south Korean fell to the NKPA.

The Korean War began on June 25th, 1950 when North Korea invaded South Korea. On June 27th, 1950, American United Nations forces intervened to stop the advance. This action has positively and negatively affected both the United States and Korea. Deciding to aid South Korea in the Korean War has drastically changed the lives of many people.

Today the media ridicules North Korea as an incompetent rogue nation; however, the road leading up to the Korean War might have rendered the conflict unpreventable. The Korean split, the clash between the Soviet Union and the United Nations, and the election of President Rhee in South Korea may have made war unavoidable. On June 25, 1950, North Korea attacked South Korea with the aid of the Soviet Union under the orders of Josef Stalin. The war lasted until the July of 1953 when North and South Korea signed an armistice (Weathersby 769). The Korean War was started when two major economic systems vied for supremacy; as a result the war tore a country in two.

The Korean war, began in June of 1950, and ended with a truce in July of 1953.

The Korean War was a conflict between North Korea and South Korea- the first conflict in history between two nuclear powers. On June 25, 1950, North Korean forces surprised the South Korean army and the small U.S. force stationed in the country, and quickly headed toward the capital city of Seoul. The Russian government, under Joseph Stalin, agreed to help North Korea when he knew that the U.S would not be involved. Two days later, the United States responded by pushing a resolution through the U.N.’s Security Council calling for military assistance to South Korea. Russia was not present to veto the action as it was boycotting the Security Council at the time. With this resolution in hand, President Harry S. Truman rapidly dispatched U.S. land, air, and sea forces to Korea to engage in what he termed a “police action.” The American intervention turned the tide, and U.S. and South Korean forces marched into North Korea. This action, however, prompted the massive intervention of communist Chinese forces in late 1950. The war in Korea subsequently bogged down into a bloody stalemate. This was the first battle to be fought in the air.

Soon after the second World War, the Korean war began in 1950 that would add more disheartening issues to resolve. The war began when North Korea invaded South Korea. The United States aided South Korea as the head of a

Shtykov suspected President Syngman Rhee of South Korea was planning an attack on North Korea, and so with the help of Jospeh Stalin, North Korea launched an attack on South Korea on June 25th, 1950. This started the Korean War, which was essentially a proxy war between America and the Soviets. The United Nations force (led by the United States) assisted South Korea in the war. China assisted North Korea, and would continue to follow this pattern of allying with North Korea until modern day. The war ended on July 27th, 1953. An agreement was signed that restored the original boundary along the 38th parallel. The

The Korean war left 2.5 million people dead more than half of which civilians, nearly 10% of Korea's total population. With the war officially starting in June of 1950 it took almost three years of North and South Korea battling until the armistice was signed in July of 1953. The ongoing cold war between America and Russia can be linked to as to why the Korean conflict was originally initiated. Still to this day the border between North and South Korea is a heated zone, there is little to no hope of a united Korea anytime soon.
