10. Consequences of the Korean war
Dwight D. Eisenhower, (commander on D-Day for the Allied powers) was elected President of the U.S.-1953
Eisenhower promised to end the Korean War.
An armistice (cease-fire) was signed in 1953 and ended the war at Panmunjom on the demilitarized zone (DMZ) between North and South Korea.
This left Korea divided along the 38th parallel exactly as it was before the invasion.
American losses had not driven the Communists out of China or North Korea but they had shown American determination to resist Communism by force.

11. Nuclear Arms race
Nuclear proliferation means spreading nuclear weapon technology.
This was an increasing danger that one nation might someday use them.
The United States was the sole atomic power in 1945, the nuclear weapon technology they discovered was kept secret.
The Soviet Union tested their first atomic bomb in 1949 even though the U.S. had refused to share the secret of the atom bomb with the Soviets.

12. Nuclear weapons
The Hydrogen Bomb was developed in the U.S. in It was much more destructive than the previous atom bombs.
Massive Retaliation - when Americans and Soviets developed new missile technology.
These nuclear advances were meant to act as deterrents for the Soviet Union in case they attacked the U.S. (discourage them).
Despite this, the United States and the Soviet Union entered the Arms Race.
Each superpower began building and stocking up on nuclear weapons.
