What Are The Consequences Of The Korean War

One of the major conflicts in the 20th century was the Cold War. One of the key events of the Cold War was the Korean War (1949-1953). Essentially, the Korean War was a conflict between the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK), and the Republic of Korea (ROK). However, the DPRK was backed by Stalin’s Communist regime. While the ROK, was backed by US and UN forces. The support that the divided Koreas received demonstrates that this war was the direct result of Cold War tensions between the USA and the USSR. Therefore making this war a proxy war between the two superpowers.

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 was the beginning of the Cold War and it was a three-year conflict which began on the 25th of June, in 1950. The North Korean Communist army exploded the border of the South Democratic Korea, using Soviet tanks, in order to surpass the thirty-eighth parallel (Kennedy 614). Not long after the conflicts in Korea, the Vietnam War began in 1955, however, the United States joined in 1964 (“Vietnam War”). The Vietnam War was a twenty-year battle, between the North and the South, which began when a North Vietnamese communist party, the Viet Cong, wanted to reunite the North and South Vietnam, after the partition in 1954 (“Vietnam War”).

The Korean War, also known as the “Forgotten War” began on June 25, 1950. On that day, about 75,000 soldiers from North Korean, with the help and advice from the Soviet Union, cross the 38th parallel. The 38th parallel is “the boundary between the Soviet-backed Democratic People’s Republic of Korea to the north and the pro-Western Republic of Korea to the south” (History.com). Within three days, the North Korean People’s Army was able to capture Seoul, the capital of South Korea. This invasion marked the beginning of the Cold War. Fearing the spread of Communism, the United Nations and United States agreed to send troops to South Korea, and on the 1st of July 1950, American troops arrived to South Korea to help the democratic South Korean to fight against the North Korean communist invasion. The Americans goal was to prevent the spread of Communism.

The Korean War was fought between North Korea and South Korea in 1950. North and South Korea clashed ideas because North was communist and the South was democratic. North Korea invaded the South.

The Korean war began on June 25th 1950 immediately upon North Korea’s attempt to invade South Korea. Soon after in June 27th 1950, the United nations intervened to stop this from happening, this had both a positive and negative aspect to it. The war began as a civil war between both the North and South of Korea, but it soon became international. This war proved how the United States would do anything to prevent the spread of communism. Not only was it the first war of the Cold war to have machinery which made it all the more deadlier but it was also the first war in which whites and African Americans fought side by side.

However, the United States supported South Korea because they were against communist and was trying to practice their policy of containment.

     The Korean began in the middle of the Cold War. The war was fought as a result of North Korea invading the South. "Large movements of troops, tanks. ordnance and ammunition to the border areas were reported. This was not suspected as a threat of war because it was thought to be a normal aspect of cold war behavior;" (Ridgway, 14). When America joined the war under command of General MacArthur, they made a great push North. When they were close to the Yalu River they were orderd to stop and turn around. "United States forces were ordered to turn around when they were in visual distance of the Yalu river;" (Knox, 439).
