Turning Points In American History: The Korean War, 1950-1953
The war was obviously a major turning point in korean history. Understand the role the korean war played in establishing american Cold war policy.
http://nationalhistoryday.org/03_educators/2000/turnpointskorea.htm

Extractions: Turning Points in American History: The Korean War, 1950-1953 In the years following World War II the traditional world order underwent fundamental changes. The United States abandoned its customary isolationism and helped rebuild a war-torn world. Around the globe, colonies gained their independence. The United Nations (U.N.) was established to help stabilize international relations and to help find solutions to international problems or disputes. Despite the high hopes which greeted its founding, the United Nations was unable to achieve international harmony. For more than 40 years after World War II, the United States and its allies in the democratic world were pitted against the Soviet Union and its satellites in the communist world. Most of the time, the conflict stopped short of open warfare. In 1950, however, on a peninsula in eastern Asia, the first military battles of the Cold War took place. A few years earlier, in the closing stages of World War II, the rivalry between the United States and the Soviet Union had led to the division of the Korean Peninsula at the 38th Parallel, with the Soviet Union occupying the area to the north and the United States the area to the south. North Korea became a Soviet satellite, while South Korea aligned with the U.S. In June 1950, North Korea attempted to reunify the country by invading South Korea.

Extractions: Print entire article Introduction At the mid-point of a century that had already seen two appallingly destructive and costly global conflicts, a savage war broke out in a remote country at the extremity of the Asian landmass. During the world war of 1939-45, the future of the Japanese empire was decided at Allied summit meetings. In the short term, pending the return of Korean independence, Korea, a Japanese colony since 1910, was to be occupied north of the 38th parallel by Soviet Russia. To the south, a United States military administration under the direction of General Douglas MacArthur would control the area from its headquarters in Tokyo. In the North, the Soviets backed a Stalinist regime under their client Kim Il-sung and created the North Korean Peoples' Army, equipped with Russian tanks and artillery. In the South, the chaotic political situation resulted in an American-backed administration under the presidency of Syngman Rhee, whose openly declared aim was the imposition of national unity by force. As a result of this stance, the American-trained South Korean army was limited to a lightly armed gendarmerie, lacking tanks, combat aircraft and all but a small amount of field artillery.

Extractions: As World War II came to a close, Soviet troops who had been occupied with fighting the Nazis in Europe became available for other purposes. Wishing to control as much territory in East Asia as possible after the collapse of Japan, Stalin sent his troops into Korea from the north. By agreement, the Soviet Union received the surrender of Japanese forces north of the 38th parallel. South of that line, the Japanese surrendered to the Americans. It was agreed that Korea would become a united, democratic country based on free elections, but dates were not specified. Instead, it soon became clear that the Iron Curtain had become established across the Korean Peninsula at the 38th Parallel. Tensions increased after the fall of Chiang Kai-Shek's Nationalist Chinese government and the rise to power of Mao Zedong. The United States made clear to the communists that their commitment to the security of Japan and Chiang's regime on Formosa was absolute. Unfortunately, in an address to the National Press Club on January 12, 1950, US Secretary of State Dean Acheson described the boundaries of U.S. interests in a manner that made support for Korea appear ambiguous.

Extractions: FRtR Outlines American History (1990) Chapter Eight The Korean War (4/22) Previous Page Next Page During the final years of President Truman's term of office, events in Asia dominated America's international concerns. As a result of a World War II agreement, the United States and the Soviet Union took trusteeship possession of Korea with the 38th parallel dividing the Soviet zone in the north from the American zone in the south. In 1948, a government fashioned after the Soviet model was established in the north while the United States recognized the Republic of Korea whose government had been chosen in an election supervised by the United Nations. By mid-1949, the United States had removed the bulk of its troops. On June 25, 1950, the North Korean army crossed the 38th parallel and attacked South Korea. An emergency meeting of the United Nations Security Council declared the attack a breach of the peace, demanded immediate withdrawal, termed North Korea an aggressor , and called upon United Nations members to furnish all possible assistance to South Korea. The United States, which felt a special responsibility toward beleaguered South Korea, quickly dispatched air and ground forces. A United Nations Command was established, and for the first time in history an organized international force was fighting aggression, although in actuality, a good 90 percent of the troops were either American or South Korean. These U.N. actions were possible because the Soviet Union's representative to the Security Council had for some time been boycotting meetings and was not present to exercise a veto.

Extractions: Chapter 25 The Korean War, 1950-1953 Extracted from AMERICAN MILITARY HISTORY ARMY HISTORICAL SERIES OFFICE OF THE CHIEF OF MILITARY HISTORY UNITED STATES ARMY CHAPTER 25 The Korean War, 1950-1953 After the USSR installed a Communist government in North Korea in September 1948, that government promoted and supported an insurgency in South Korea in an attempt to bring down the recognized government and gain jurisdiction over the entire Korean peninsula. Not quite two years later, after the insurgency showed signs of failing, the northern government undertook a direct attack, sending the North Korea People's Army south across the 38th parallel before daylight on Sunday, June 25, 1950. The invasion, in a narrow sense, marked the beginning of a civil war between peoples of a divided country. In a larger sense, the cold war between the Great Power blocs had erupted in open hostilities. The Decision for War The western bloc, especially the United States, was surprised by the North Korean decision. Although intelligence information of a possible June invasion had reached Washington, the reporting agencies judged an early summer attack unlikely. The North Koreans, they estimated, had not yet exhausted the possibilities of the insurgency and would continue that strategy only. The North Koreans, however, seem to have taken encouragement from the U.S. policy which left Korea outside the U.S. "defense line" in Asia and from relatively public discussions of the economies placed on U.S. armed forces. They evidently accepted these as reasons to discount American counteraction, or their sponsor, the USSR, may have made that calculation for them. The Soviets also appear to have been certain the United Nations would not intervene, for in protest against Nationalist China's membership in the U.N. Security Council and against the U.N.'s refusal to seat Communist China, the USSR member had boycotted council meetings since January 1950 and did not return in June to veto any council move against North Korea.

Extractions: Shopping Cart Reviews Table of Contents Search within this book at Google Print This first truly international history of the Korean War argues that by its timing, its course, and its outcome it functioned as a substitute for World War III. Stueck draws on recently available materials from seven countries, plus the archives of the United Nations, presenting a detailed narrative of the diplomacy of the conflict and a broad assessment of its critical role in the Cold War. He emphasizes the contribution of the United Nations, which at several key points in the conflict provided an important institutional framework within which less powerful nations were able to restrain the aggressive tendencies of the United States. In Stueck's view, contributors to the U.N. cause in Korea provided support not out of any abstract commitment to a universal system of collective security but because they saw an opportunity to influence U.S. policy. Chinese intervention in Korea in the fall of 1950 brought with it the threat of world war, but at that time and in other instances prior to the armistice in July 1953, America's NATO allies and Third World neutrals succeeded in curbing American adventurism. While conceding the tragic and brutal nature of the war, Stueck suggests that it helped to prevent the occurrence of an even more destructive conflict in Europe.
