    When the World War Two was going to the end, the Japanese-held Korean Peninsula was liberated by Soviet and the American military. And the battle line that between America and Soviet was called “ 38th Parallel ”. In that case, the north of the 38th parallel was occupied by Soviet troops and the American troops dominated the south of the 38th Parallel which led to a limited border war between the South’s newly formed Republic of Korea Army and the North Korean border constabulary as well as the North’s Korean People’s Army.…

    Generally summarizing the Korean War as in Blair’s Forgotten War – At the end of World War II the western half of the world (the Capitalist side) and the eastern half of the world (the Communist side) divided the Korean peninsula into two nations, the northern half communist and the southern half American occupied and capitalist. The two nations were divided at the 38th parallel. The Korean War itself began when the communist North Koreans invaded their South Korean neighbors by advancing over the 38th parallel boundary, on the 28th of June 1951 when the North Korean army, using Russian equipment and advisors, had conquered much of South Korea, a poorly equipped and poorly led U.S. Army came to the rescue of the South Koreans. President Truman had basically stripped the U.S. Army’s equipment and manpower down to nothing for budget reasons, believing that his military advisors spoiled, dumb, and “big spenders”, (sparing no expense to win a battle). Truman believed that he could do better than any military official. General Douglas MacArthur, on whom Blair spares no criticism, had been overseeing the occupation of Japan, and was a decorated general during WWII in the Pacific theater, he was the obvious choice to be appointed commander of the U.S. forces which were to hold back the North Korean army at Pusan – the tip of the Korean peninsula. MacArthur was in command of…

    While the two world powers never fought face to face, their ideological differences caused proxy wars, in which both countries would support opposing sides of a war effort as a way of competition. The Korean War was the first substantial battle between the two countries in the name of containment. Before the 1950’s invasion by the North Korean Army, Korea had been divided into two sectors; the communist North, supported by the Soviet Union, and the anti communist South, supported by the United States (Foner 715). The Truman administration sent American troops into Korea in an attempt to militarily suppress the northern invasion. Through the help of the United Nations, fifteen other countries also committed resources to the Southern Korean side.…

In it, you identify a person or group of people; their goal, need, or want; what conflict of interest stood in the way; and the outcome. This strategy works great because history depends on the needs, wants, and actions of humans. Use the chart to show your understanding of people, countries, and organizations in the Korean War.…

    The invasion surprised the South Koreans. This advancement of the North Korean troops was considered the first military action in the Cold War. It was thought of a civil war at first. President Truman responded immediately by requesting the United Nations Security Council to intervene for the benefit of South Korea. The United States also responded by July with military troops to support South Korea in hopes that they could contain the threat and spreading of communism. The Truman Doctrine which was a policy that the United States put in place to support countries trying to free themselves of the communist threat became the rationale for the United States involvement. The United States feared that this invasion would provoke a wider war with Russia and China or possibly World War III. This idea was stated in the Domino effect theory because the theory stated if one area was influenced by communism then other areas would follow in a domino effect. Finally, in July 1953, the Korean War ended with more than 5 million soldiers and civilians losing their lives. Unfortunately, the Korean peninsula is still divided…

    Battle Of Osan Essay

    • 2393 Words
    • 10 Pages

    The battle of Osan is one of the worst defeats by the United States of America to the North Korean People’s Army (NKPA) during the Korean War. The battle of Osan, the first battle of the Korean War, showcased a poorly equipped, under-trained, unorganized and undisciplined U.S. Army force. A rough estimate of sixty U.S. soldiers killed, up to twenty-one wounded and eighty-two captured. Despite the low causalities, the loss at the battle of Osan would lead to the deaths of nine hundred and twenty-two killed and over twenty-four hundred additional prisoners or executed at the Battle of Taejon that would subsequently follow. The purpose of this paper is to explore the possibility of an alternate outcome if the American forces won the battle of Osan against the NKPA. I will examine the Battle of Osan by applying the four steps of battle analysis in order to provide an alternate outcome. During my research, I discovered that many historians blamed budget cuts for the defeat at the Battle of Osan however, I assess it was the lack of Intelligence of the battlefield.…
