Highly motivated leadership and strong, well-trained guerilla army. Led by Chiang Kai-Shek Relied on aid from the U.S. (~$3 billion) Highly corrupt government Policies often did not merge with his party beliefs

Chinese Civil War The United States sends military aid, but does not commit troops. Despite attempts, we are unable to negotiate peace.

Chinese Civil War Republic of China People’s Republic of China

Chinese Civil War – Major Issues Containment fails! “Domino effect”—Once one nation falls, they will all fall. The U.S. does not recognize the new Communist government in China. Has the U.S. government been infiltrated?

The Korean War Korea is split after WWII Which conference gives Korea independence? 38th Parallel marks division between North Korea and South Korea North Korea = Commie South Korea = Democracy

The Korean War Surprise, surprise – North Korea is occupied by…

The Korean War North Korea invades South Korea in June 1950.

The Korean War General Douglas MacArthur counterattacks & forces the North Koreans to the Chinese border.

The Korean War China joins the fight & forces UN troops back to 38th parallel. MacArthur pushes Truman to wage full-scale war against China  Truman eventually fires MacArthur

Impact: The Forgotten War The Korean War is a stalemate Costs $67 billion  leads to citizens supporting the Republican candidate in the 1952 election (Dwight D. Eisenhower) Increased fear of communist aggression (WE CAN’T EVEN BEAT THEM!)
