Much like the United States, the USSR provided not only training for Korean armies, but their actual troops (“Korean War: A…”). The MiG planes were one of North Koreas biggest assets. In less than a year between 1951 and 1952 the MiG planes shot down over 146 South Korean planes and had a 2:1 kill ratio. This advantage drastically impacted the war. Although North Korea was not solely dependent on Russia (The People’s Republic of China was also involved in the war), none of their other allies had an

In fact, Republic of Korea- United State relations have been extensive since 1950, when the United State helped establish the modern state of South Korea and fought on it United State-sponsored side in the Korea War (1950-1953).

The Involvement of the United States in Vietnam The single most important factor in understanding the United States involvement in Vietnam is fear. In the years leading to the Vietnam Conflict the United States was immersed in paranoia toward Communist Russia and the communist movement as a whole.

The factors that pushed these two waves of immigration out of Viet Nam, and their efforts to be assimilated into the U.S. society are now parts of American history.

Under the Johnson legislation, the Gulf of Tonkin Incident was a catalyst that inevitably escalated the American involvement in the Vietnam War. It was on August 2nd 1964 that three Vietnamese torpedo boats allegedly attacked the American destroyer, the U.S.S Maddox. Apprehensive of losing more countries to communist ideals, the U.S intervened ten years prior to the incident in the Gulf of Tonkin without any major military campaigns.

Socialists Republics (USSR) and the United States of America both play a role in the intensity of the Cold War. Stalin`s sole purpose was to dominate not only the East, but the world in communism. Domineering Eastern Europe was only the beginning for him. Although the USSR was a bit aggressive, their expansionism was successful transforming surrounding nations into communist countries. Russia`s influence became so strong that the “Iron curtain had come down in Europe.” Stalin used armies to invade

Since gaining independence in the American Revolution and navigating through the difficulties of forming a new republic, the United States has continuously undergone major changes to its economic, political, and social situations, each change evolving from an obstacle faced by the nation. Some of the greatest and most impactful changes have occurred due to war, as the United States was forced to adapt and modify itself to meet the demands of conflict. After years of remaining isolated from the world
