 * How did the Korean War turn into a Cold War Conflict? **

They didn't know what to do after. It turned into a cold war through the negotiations of just not fighting each other anymore. Like there was no physical attack. They are literally just standing there and staring at each other.


 * Why did the Korean War not lead to world war? **

It did not lead to a world war because not every country is interested in stopping Communism. They basically agreed to just to fight. They are technically in war right now but just no physical attacks.


 * How does the **** Korean War shed lig **** ht on the broad themes of the Cold War **** ? **


 * Korean War Guide: **




 * Opener: Based on Korean War Video: **

I do not believe the Korean war was a civil war because the country was not fighting. It was a proxy war because the war was fought by the SU and the united states plus china. Korea, north and south had not been just them involved in it. It was taken control by the soviet union and us before the war started so it was not a civil war.
 * Do you Believe the Korean War was a Civil War or a Proxy War ( war that results when opposing powers use third parties as substitutes for fighting each other directly.)?**

The soviet Union helped supply an army and the United states assigned generals and military leaders to lead our army into battle. They also met up at the 38th parallel. During world war 2 the US and soviet union started occupying both sides, the capitalist sides installed the new governments.

Korean War Activity: You be the Judge

Below are two textbook accounts of the Korean War, one from North Korea and the other from South Korea:

Upset by the fast and astonishing growth of the power of the Republic, the American invaders hastened the preparation of an aggressive war in order to destroy it in its infancy....The American imperialists furiously carried out the war project in 1950....The American invaders who had been preparing the war for a long time, alongside their puppets, finally initiated the war on June 25th of the 39th year of the Juche calendar. That dawn, the enemies unexpectedly attacked the North half of the Republic, and the war clouds hung over the once peaceful country, accompanied by the echoing roar of cannons. Having passed the 38th parallel, the enemies crawled deeper and deeper into the North half of the Republic...the invading forces of the enemies had to be eliminated and the threatened fate of our country and our people had to be saved.
 * Textbook A:**

When the overthrow of the South Korean government through social confusion became too difficult, the North Korean communists switched to a stick-and-carrot strategy: seeming to offer peaceful negotiations, they were instead analyzing the right moment of attack and preparing themselves for it. The North Korean communists prepared themselves for war. Kim Il-sung secretly visited the Soviet Union and was promised the alliance of the Soviets and China in case of war. Finally, at dawn on June 25th, 1950 the North began their southward aggression along the 38th parallel. Taken by surprise at these unexpected attacks, the army of the Republic of Korea (South Korea) fought courageously to defend the liberty of the country....The armed provocation of the North Korean communists brought the UN Security Council around the table. A decree denounced the North Korean military action as illegal and as a threat to peace, and a decision was made to help the South. The UN army constituted the armies of 16 countries—among them, the United States, Great Britain and France—joined the South Korean forces in the battle against the North.

 * __ Cuban Missile Crisis __**



Out of the five options given to me I would chose option number 3, because I feel that ordering a blockade is the safest approach to it. It makes the Soviet Union responsible for what would happen next. If the SU decided to defy the blockade then we have full reason to open fire on them. This option gives us somewhat control over what happens in the Cuban missile crisis and it also puts pressure on the Soviet Union to make a decision.
