COLD WAR CONFLICTS: KOREA APRIL 24 & 25, 2015

NUCLEAR WEAPONRY Objective: Describe how the U.S. government fought the Cold War in Korea. Purpose: To learn about international politics and Cold War conflicts and how the U.S. & USSR narrowly averted WWIII. Standard(s): Students will explain the effects of Cold War policies on United States involvement in Korea and Vietnam H2.[9-12].13 - Explain the effects of Cold War policies on U.S. involvement in Korea and Vietnam. The 38 th Parallel dividing North & South Korea

WARM-UP: ACTIVATING PRIOR KNOWLEDGE What do you know about the history of Korea in the last 100 years? Construct a list of 5 points showing what you know. What is the political situation like in Korea today?

AKA: America’s “forgotten war”. Communism advances in Korea. America struggles to push back. Threat = Cold War could flare up into a “Hot” War. Situation: Chinese Civil War and in Japanese aggression to China & Korea. THE KOREAN WAR: BACKGROUND

Causes: After WWI, Japan acquired land from Germany in China. Mid-1920’s Jiang Jieshi (Nationalist) attack communists. Mao Zedong (Communist) gains support. Controversy: During WWII Nationalists & Communists worked together to resist Japanese rule in China. After WWII both sides became enemies. Nationalists fled to Taiwan. KOREAN WAR: BACKGROUND

During WWII, Japan had control of the Korean Peninsula. After WWII: Russians accepted Japanese surrender north of the 38 th Parallel. In the south, Americans did the same. While never intended to be permanent, Korea was divided. Soviet-occupied northern zone and American-occupied southern zone. Pro-American Govt. formed in S. Korea & Pro-Communist govt. est. in N. Korea. KOREAN WAR: BACKGROUND

Koreans on both sides wanted to unify their nation. The Korean War broke out when N. Korean troops crossed the 38th Parallel. This shocked the U.S. We thought (wrongly) that the Soviet Union led the attack. Truman saw it as aggression: “If this invasion of S. Korea was allowed to go unchallenged, it would mean a 3 rd World War.” KOREAN WAR: CONFLICT

General Douglas MacArthur led K. War campaign. Used good strategy to repel the enemy forces and (with U.N. help) pushed back the N. Korean & Chinese forces. Chinese warned the U.S. not to advance past the 38 th Parallel, MacArthur ignored the warning & pushed back at the Yula River. This created a stalemate. MacArthur wanted to break it. He wanted Taiwan to attack China. Pres. Truman disagreed. M.A. sent a letter to Truman attacking the Pres. Policies. Truman FIRED MacArthur for insubordination. KOREAN WAR: CONFLICT

Dwight D. Eisenhower takes over presidency. Threatens to use atomic bombs when peace talks fail. Truce signed in Korea divided almost exactly as it began. Effects: Frustration in the American public. 54,000 soldiers killed. 103,000 wounded. Desegregated units. Both whites & blacks fought side by side. Prevented Communism from spreading. Signed peace treaty with Japan in 1951 hoping they could maintain “balance of power” in Asia. KOREAN WAR: CONCLUSION
