The Korean War and Current Foreign Policy Concerns

KOREA Japan had taken control of Korea in 1910 and held it until 1945 (when they surrendered WWII) North Korea surrendered to the Soviet Union; South to the U.S. along the 38 parallel _North_______________South_______________ Industry Agriculture Democratic People’s Republic of Korea Republic of KoreaSyngman Rhee Kim Il Sung Capital: Seoul Capital:Pyongyang Communist!!! Both sides claim right to rule Korea

The Korean War June 25, 1950 North attacks South  Under pressure from American public (no communism!) Truman sent military into Korea to aid South June 27, 1950 UN Security Council adopted American resolution to help the Republic of South Korea  Soviet Union was boycotting UN because they refused to recognize Communist China  16 nations sent 520,000 troops; 90% American  General Douglas MacArthur placed in charge

The Korean War Beginning of conflict successful for North Koreans MacArthur’s counterattack = success! 1.Landed behind enemy lines on West Coast 2.Trapped enemy lines on West Coast MacArthur followed retreating North Koreans across 38 th parallel Another setback: Chinese enter 300,000 troops; pushed S. Korea back across the 38th and retake Seoul by January 1951

KOREA What does this mean to the United States? Cost: 54,000 lives, $22 billion Korea is still divided today Failure of Korea (although it did contain communism) and high cost of war allowed Democrats to lose power and the Republicans came in to power. Election of Dwight D. Eisenhower becomes president

This split has existed since the stalemate ending of the Korean War (1952). U.S. troops still stationed along parallel in case fighting erupts. It’s like another Cold War!!! Kim Jung Il j I hate America!

A rocky relationship since… The US has had troops in South Korea since the stalemate ending of the Korean War. South Koreans grow weary with the “babysitting” they feel is done by the US troops. (want to feel empowered) North Koreans still dislike America and our foreign policy that is against dictatorships (shocker!) Kim Il Sung’s son Kim Jung Il has been a constant threat to America. His development of Nuclear weapons and harsh treatment of his people are a major foreign policy concern. He has made direct threats against the safety of America. His son, Kim Jong Un wants to continue this legacy.

The Rise of Kim Jong Un With the death of his father, Kim Jong Un is the new leader of North Korea. Don’t be fooled by my charming smile, I hate America too!

What to do? AFTER READING THE KOREA ARTICLES, Consider the four world views of foreign policy from AP Gov unit 6: Isolationism: opposes involvement in world affairs Containment: (anti-appeasement) US should resist the expansion of aggressive nations Disengagement: belief that US was harmed by its war with Vietnam(defeat and political disaster) so it should avoid similar events Human Rights: we should try to improve the lives of people in other countries
