The United States And China

In June 1950, 90,000 soldiers from the communist Korean People’s Army crossed the 38th Parallel into South Korea. The most important reason for a military response from the US was the document NSC 68, which stated that they must meet communism wherever it arises. Due to this document, it was the US assumption that the invasion on South Korea was not a Civil War due to the events in Korea, and the permanent divide in 1948. However, there was also US domestic policies, and Truman’s fear of being accused of being ‘soft on communism,’ as well as the US based organisation, the UN, which was a new institution, which Truman had to support. Furthermore, containment in Europe and Asia and the

The USSR pressured North Korea to invade South Korea, later they decided to attack. Now in Document C, The North Korean troops invaded South Korea and almost won the war, then the USA came in to support South Korea. Which after the USA came in, they pushed the North Koreans to the Yalu River. Since the ally of North Korea, China was concerned, they joined in and pushed the UN troops back to 38th Parallel. Then after some fighting, it ended in a stalemate. This also shows USA’s way of containing communism since South Korea was about to fall to communism and the domino theory might of worked. To quickly summarize. The North Korean army attacked South Korea and almost made it communist, later the USA joined and pushed them to Yalu river. Then China joined and pushed them to the 38th parallel. Later, it ended in a

The Korean War was a defining part of the United States foreign policy in the Cold War Era and was a response to threats from the Soviet Union. The Korean War was a culmination of tensions between North and South Korea that had resulted from the influences the United States and the Soviet Union inculcated into the countries during their occupation. When the Korean War was initiated, by the invasion of South Korea by North Korea, the United States and their allies in the United Nations perceived the invasion as a bold communistic expansion effort that occurred without provocation. (Document A). Further validating this idea was the fact that the attack was endorsed by the USSR, and partially lead by Red China, both of which were communist countries

North Korea first invaded South Korea in June 25, 1950. Soviets where supporting South Korea, and the United States where supporting South Korea. This battle was a fair fight with South Korea winning but something happened. According to document C, “In November of 1950, communist China enters the war and pushes the United States forces back into South Korea.” China only entered the war because they were communist, and wanted to turn South Korea communist.

The United States joined the South Korean side of the war due to the Soviet Union’s push for communism and the United States’ opposition against it. Furthermore, imagine what would happen if North Korea was a capitalistic country instead. The Soviet Union would not support North Korea in their conquest and there wouldn’t have been any war considering there would have been no conflict to fight

The United States got into the Korean war to oppose the growing communism in the region and to fight off the growing threat that China had become. When the North Koreans invaded the South with China backing it, the US government felt like it was there duty to preserve democracy. This pushed America to send troops to give aid to the fight against communism. This had negative impacts on the relations with the rest of Asia and caused great issues for the future. The US military actions in Korea had a negative impact China's outlook on the US.

The Korean War was the first proxy war, increasing tensions and brought the Communist threat to Asian borders creating the fear of Domino Theory. This war also introduced China as a major player in global affairs due to its intervention when US crossed Chinese borders. Yet since USSR did not help North Korea during this time, tensions decreased slightly.

During the nineteenth century, Western Europe went through a marvelous era of industrialization and imperialism. This period of social, political, and territorial advancement caused a dramatic ripple-effect around the world, giving other countries such as Russia and Japan motivation to modernize. By 1914 Russia and Japan had managed to launch significant programs of industrialization and to make other changes designed to strengthen their political and social systems. These two nations defied the common pattern of growing Western domination during the nineteenth century. In the process, Japan pulled away from other Asian societies, while Russia ultimately enhanced its power in world affairs. Japan and Russia did have some common

America's Involvement in the Korean War The USA emerged from WWII as the dominant Western, democratic superpower. She quickly established for herself a role as world policeman, and defender of the "free world". When, on June 25th 1950, Communist North Korean forces invaded the South of the country, the USAwas quick to step in, and with UN support and approval, sent in military forces to restore the balance. However, it is questionable whether moral principles were the only reason for America's involvement in the Korean War, or whether perhaps the Truman administration had other validation for such a huge scale military campaign.

While the occupant powers were struggling to set ground for securing their interests, the Korean nationalism was at the most heated phase. Suffered through the Japanese colonial rule since 1910, the leaders of the two governments were determined to reunify Korea under their political regimes, and from their point view the only way to reach their aims was war. However, the United States and the Soviet Union were cautious not to take a role in initiating the war since neither of them was eager to prompt another to intervene. Being aware of their dependence on the superpowers, both leaders first had to gain the support of these countries to reach their goals. Until the beginning of the war, Kim Il-Sung particularly struggled hard to convince his mentor Stalin to provide him support in the war against the south.

Historically, relations between the United States and Turkey were formed through mutual respect and interest. The first U.S. interaction dates to 1831, “when the United States established diplomatic relations with the Ottoman Empire” (the U.S. Department of State) in 1831 through the formal act of diplomatic recognition between the countries. The friendship was strengthened in the early 1900s as the United States was elevated to Embassy status in 1906. During World War I, however, the U.S. broke the neutrality and declared war against Germany, a prime ally of the Ottoman Empire for Central Powers. This incident caused a severity in the diplomatic relations between the U.S. and the

Chinese and Japanese economies both make up large areas of the worlds economy; however, there are many differences in these countries with respect to economic development and current economic state. Analysis of Japans and Chinas economic development requires the observation of historical components as well as current actions to stimulate economy. The history of Chinese and Japanese economies holds many similarities and differences. Both Japan and China experienced growth in the 1400's, driving for a more advanced societies, with improved economic policies. However, in Japan the economic advances were more significant, especially when taking into account their trade with European nations in the 1500's, allowing for stimulation of their economy from more outside sources than

The United States and India are both democratic nations that historically have had racial divisions and apartheid, which is apparent in the social, political and economic developments of the two countries. These racial divisions and apartheid have directly impacted the development of the nations, thus shaping the way the current day states and its people function. Apartheid is a “policy of racial segregation and economic discrimination against non-European”. (Merriam-Webster, 2014) This definition of apartheid is quite relatable in impacting the cases of political, social and economic growth. For example, in the Unites States, the arrival of the European colonists caused there to be discrimination against the Native Americans. Thus segregating them, resulting in the remaining population becoming raped, killed, diseased and forced to migrate to the West. These historical events have indirectly impacted the social development of the Native American population as a whole. Present day Native Americans have developed their societies through these divisions. They are still discriminated against and in some cases, a specific one being of the lack of education funds provided for Native American schools amongst the nation. With there being “The federal government is responsible for 183 native American schools across 23 states” and in ensuring an equalitarian learning system. (Mic, 2014) But so far has not yet done so. Social issues amongst Native American school equality

Prior to World War II the relationship between the United States and China was neutral, and the two countries did not face a major change until the dispute between the Nationalists and Communists in the 1940’s. Initially, the United States tried to refrain from politically interfering too much in the Chinese Civil War between the Nationalists and Communists. Although this was the case, the U.S. began to

Syria, Iraq, Iran, China, Korea, Russia, Mexico and last but not least, Liberia are places that the United States of America finds itself involved in. Globalization is the process in which societies and cultures integrate, appropriate, and learn from others. It is a natural process and occurs every time in history when one culture tries to dominate another one. In some contexts, globalization might seem necessary for a society to thrive. However, when a particular society or culture overreaches, that is when problems occur. I wholeheartedly believe that the United States should be involved in the Philippines in order
