     Extractions: On American Intervention In Korea, 1950 Statement by the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of the USSR, July 4,1950 The events now taking place in Korea broke out on June 25 as the result of a provocative attack by the troops of the South Korean authorities on the frontier areas of the Korean People's Democratic Republic. This attack was the outcome of a premeditated plan. From time to time Syngman Rhee himself and other representatives of the South Korean authorities had blurted out the fact that the South Korean Syngman Rhee clique had such a plan. As long ago as October 7, 1949, Syngman Rhee, boasting of success in training his army, stated outright, in an interview given to an American United Press correspondent, that the South Korean Army could capture Pyongyang in the course of three days. On October 31, 1949, Sin Sen Mo, Defence Minister of the Syngman Rhee Government, also told newspaper correspondents that the South Korean troops were strong enough to act and take Pyongyang within a few days. Only one week before the provocative attack of the South Korean troops on the frontier areas of the Korean People's Democratic Republic, Syngman Rhee said, in a speech on June 19 in the so-called "National Assembly" where Mr. Dulles, adviser to the U.S. State Department, was present: "If we cannot protect democracy in the cold war, we shall win in a hot war."

Colonial America was defined by ongoing battles with Native Americans, a severe labor shortage which gave birth to forms of unfree labor such as slavery and indentured servitude , and a British policy of benign neglect which permitted the development of an American spirit and culture which was distinct from that of its European founders.

Coakley 10 March 1959 [Note: This manuscript was prepared by Dr. Robert W. Coakley of the Office of the Chief of Military History (now US Army Center of Military History) for official.

It is reproduced here with only those limited modifications required to adapt to the World Wide Web; spelling, punctuation, and slang usage have not been altered from the original. Where modern explanatory notes were required, they have been inserted as italicized text in square brackets.] RESUME OF ARMY MOBILIZATION DURING THE KOREAN WAR 1. Existing mobilization plans at the beginning of the Korean War, both for personnel, and materiel, were all framed in terms of all-out war. The Department of Defense had no plans for limited war. Thus, the entire mobilization process was one of improvisation. The limited mobilization undertaken had to be aimed both at providing and equipping the necessary forces for fighting a limited war in Korea and at placing the United States in a posture to meet Communist threats on a world-wide basis. 3. Total strength of the organized reserve corps on 30 June 1950 consisted of 217,435 officers and 291,182 enlisted men. Of these, 68,785 officers and 117,756 enlisted men were participating in paid drills in 10,629 activated units. National Guard strength was 324,761, about 25,000 below authorized levels. The National Guard had 27 organized divisions plus supporting units but its equipment was only 46 per cent of requirements. Training was hampered by lack of funds and facilities. The principal strength of both organized reserves and National Guard lay in the fact that much of their personnel had seen combat service during World War II.

At the end of World War II, Korea was divided at the 38th parallel into Soviet (North Korean) and U.S. (South Korean) zones of occupation. In 1948 rival governments were established: The Republic of Korea was proclaimed in the South and the People's Democratic Republic of Korea in the North. Relations between them became increasingly strained, and on June 25, 1950, North Korean forces invaded South Korea. The United Nations quickly condemned the invasion as an act of aggression, demanded the withdrawal of North Korean troops from the South, and called upon its members to aid South Korea. On June 27, U.S. President Truman authorized the use of American land, sea, and air forces in Korea; a week later, the United Nations placed the forces of 15 other member nations under U.S. command, and Truman appointed Gen.

This chapter examines the rich and diverse cultures of the first Americans and the far-reaching consequences of their encounter with Europeans. Exploration and Discovery The fifteenth and sixteenth century voyages of discovery brought Europe, Africa, and the Americas into direct contact, producing an exchange of foods, animals, and diseases that scholars call the “Columbian Exchange.” Colonization Here, you will learn about the economic, religious, and social developments that led Europeans to colonize new lands; the differences between Spanish, French, and English colonization; and the difficulties they encountered as a result of the varied climates and topographies. The Origins and Nature of New World Slavery Slave labor played an indispensable role in the settlement and development of the New World. This chapter examines slavery in the ancient, medieval, and early modern world; the process of enslavement; the Middle Passage; and the evolution of slavery in colonial, revolutionary, and antebellum America.

     Extractions: Sometime in May of 1953, I was stationed about 30 miles north of Uijonbu with the 151ENGR C Bn. We were falling out for revilee, the first time since being in Korea. While I was going out to formation I heard a loud explosion just over the hill, just in a second our jets come over the hill and started strafing us. They made four passes over us with four F84 aircraft, destroyed our motor pool, killed several KSC labors, and one GI lost the lower part of his arm, I still have his name. The loud explosion I heard at first was them dropping a bomb on the Imjin River knocking one section out. Contact: John Lock 2ID 38 TANK CO After being WIA, I spent five weeks in the hospital. I returned to my unite, the 38th. Tank Company of the 2nd. ID. I was given a light duty of job (mail clerk). My outfit had relieved the British front line troops, and sometime in January of 1953, while going for the mail at APO 248. The driver and myself witnessed a Marine jet bomb an American unit, which was several miles from the front line. We were less than a fourth of a mile away when the bombing occured, and the best I can remember, nine men were killed and many more wounded. I never did find out why the Marine plane would bomb an American unite so far from the front line. I didn't know any of those men, but it bothered me, that men had to die by the hands of their own countrymen. I wonder if any of the reader of this site, remember any thing about that incident. I have often wondered just what the goverment told the parents, about the way their sons had died in Korea?
