Different Governments United States (S. Korea)- hold elections Soviet Union (N. Korea)- ruled by occupying armies US and Soviet Troops leave countries in 1949- recognized as independent countries.

“Police Action” Why was this not a formal war? Congress did not approve the war. “Protection of civilians as they retreated before the enemy advanced” US and UN forces push the N. Koreans back Started as a defensive strategy turned into effort to punish the North. China intervenes and pushes the S. Koreans, US, and UN forces back near 38th parallel

Truman’s “Limited War” Did not want an all out war… How come Fear of use of nuclear weapons by the Soviets Conflict quickly grew into a stalemate where neither side would be able to take complete control
