Presentation transcript:

Civil War in China Nationalist forces (led by Chiang Kai-shek, aka Jiang Jieshi) vs. communists led by Mao Zedong USSR supported Mao, US sent aid (no military) to Chiang Kai-shek 1949: Chiang Kai-shek flees; Mao’s forces take control; rename as People’s Republic of China Now, communist= ¼ world & 1/3 world pop. Mao promised to feed people helped gain success Conflict began in mid-1930s, put on pause when Japan invaded China in 1937  joined together to fight Japan. After WWII, back to civil war. 1948: Kai-shek asked for US military intervention, but we refused to send troops. Jiang also corrupt, also his gov’t (siphoning off of money)

The Korean War (1950-1953)

38th parallel & War Begins Korea divided after WWII liberation from Japan by USSR @ 38th parallel (latitude) N. Korea- communist- backed by USSR S. Korea– noncommunist- backed by USA June 1950: N. Korea attacks S. Korea American occupation troops remained in S. Korea until June 1949. Their departure coincided with tcommunist victory in China.

US Backs South Korea Truman vows to aid S. Korea (no appeasement…); UN votes to do same No formal declaration of war Douglas MacArthur led counterattack in Sept 1950 & drove N. Koreans north of 38th parallel Continues to attack NORTH of 38th parallel (China warned not to…) & China enters war in Nov. 1950 USSR is part of part of Security Council, but it was boycotting Security Council sessions b/c the UN had refused to seat Mao’s People’s Republic of China Falling out: Truman vs. MacArthur - MacArthur wanted to invade China, but Truman wanted limited war. Posisble that war couldn’t/ wouldn’t end without huge commitments of troops & atomic weapons. MacArthur sent letter to House Republican leader attacking Truman’s policies, when it became public Truman fired him for insubordination

Stalemate & End of War 1951-1953: Stalemate around 38th parallel July 27, 1953: cease-fire (still in effect today; no official peace!) Status quo maintained

Effects of Korean War Precedent of committing troops to battle w/o formal declaration of war Increased military spending Division remains today 2-mile DMZ btwn Koreas US troops remain/patrol border
