1. Agenda, 3/31
Go over yesterday; ten minutes to finish cartoons if necessary
Short lecture over Korean War (one slide)
“For Presidential Hopefuls, Simpler Language Resonates” plus discussion

2. The Korean War

3. Korean War, 1950-1953 First hot war of the Cold War
Division at 38th parallel after WWII
USSR rebuilt North; US rebuilt South
Attempts/elections to re-unify were rocky and unsuccessful
1950: skirmishes turned into war when N invaded S
N had Soviet approval and Chinese support
US backed S through the United Nations
Technically war was a “UN police action”
How did this happen???
US troops eventually entered N and “poked at” China; Chinese forces engaged and pushed US/UN back across 38th parallel
General MacArthur removed for insubordination
Fought to a stalemate
