The Korean War
return to The Election of 1948, Truman beats Thomas Dewey and Strom Thurmond's Dixiecrats
or Free College Level Course in American History from Dick's Guides
After the end of the Second World War, American was controlled by politicians who wanted to avoid another war at any cost. Rather than asserting the United State's military power, American politicians enabled the division of the world into free parts and communist dominated parts. The peninsula of Korea was divided into two countries: North and South Korea. North Korea was ruled by a Soviet-controlled communist regime, while South Korea was under USA supervision. While the supervisory powers were supposed to withdraw from their respective countries between 1948 and 1949, foreign politicians like Winston Churchill knew this would never happen.
On 25 June 1950, the Communists from North Koreans invaded South Korea. South Korea appealed to the United Nations for assistance. Fortunately, the USSR was boycotting the UN Security Council at the time, and did not veto the request. The UN passedA resolution sending a military force to South Korea. The force was predominately American with General McArthur as the Supreme Commander. There were also substantial contributions from the UK, Canada and other Commonwealth countries.
