Timeline of Events Korea had been controlled by the Japanese from 1905 to 1945. In 1945, Soviets occupied the NORTH, America the SOUTH The two halves were divided by the 38th Parallel

Timeline of Events North: South: communist government supplied with weapons by the Soviets. South: capitalist system supported by the U.S. 1949- Both the US and the Soviet troops withdraw from Korea. North Kim Il Sung South Syngman Rhee

1949 – China became Communist – supported N Korea

War Begins June 25th, 1950—North Korea invades South Korea with the Soviet Union’s approval.

North Korean Army moving into Seoul (Capital), S. K. T-34 Tanks Yak Fighters

To Contain or not contain, that is the question? US President Truman—not wanting to repeat the mistake of appeasement used during WWII, promises to help South Korea. But How???

U.N. or U.S.? South Korea asks the newly created United Nations for help. Most of the troops are American. Douglas MacArthur command of the 15 nation UN forces.

Stage One By the end of July 1950, only a small section of the Korea was in the hands of the UN forces (Pusan). Stand or Die!

Stage Two MacArthur orders an amphibious invasion at the port Of Inchon Take Seoul and cut of supply lines

Stage Two N Koreans pushed back into N Korea MacArthur believes he will be able to “Get the boys home by Christmas”

Too close to home…

Stage Three Oct 1950 Chinese invaded N Korea 300,000 Chinese troops UN troops pushed back to S Korea

At odds… “We face an entirely new war” MacArthur said. He called for nuclear attacks on Chinese cities. President Truman had different opinion “We are trying to prevent a world war, not start one”

MacArthur is Fired! MacArthur tried to go over President Truman by talking to Congress and the Press. In response Truman fired MacArthur. You’re Fired!

“…that old soldiers never die; they just fade away. And like the old soldier of that ballad, I now close my military career and just fade away, an old soldier who tried to do his duty as God gave him the light to see that duty. Good-by.”

Stage Three (Nov. 1950-1953) STALEMATE around 38th Parallel July 1953 - Armistice signed

THE COST IN HUMAN LIFE

Results of the Korean War South KOREA REMAINED ‘FREE’ (no democracy until 1987) Containment had worked Korea badly damaged Still two separate states today Still US troops in Korea
