The first war of an international dimension after the Second World War, and one of the direct results of the cold war between the capitalist and communist poles the United States was the prominent party in it, and it came out of it and lostthousands of victims between the dead and missing and wounded. Despite all the financial, military and human potential amassed, the Korean War ended, and the Communists did not leave the Korean Peninsula, and the result was neither victory nor victory.
Causes of War :
Modern Korean history is a series of conquest and invasion. As soon as the Second World War ended in 1945, until Russia occupied the northern part of the Korean peninsula, there was a communist regime, while the United States controlled the southern part where a democratic system was established. The two Korean parts are latitude 38. In December 1948, Russia withdrew from the northern part, demanding that the United States withdraw from the South Korean, which was actually done. North Korea, more armed than its southern sister, seized the opportunity, unleashing its forces on June 25, 1950, exceeding latitude 38. The Korean crisis, which quickly turned - in the shadow of the Cold War - into an international crisis began with its war raging for three years.
The United States and military crowds:
America followed 16 countries and adopted a Security Council resolution to intervene in Korea.
The United States, two days after North Korea invaded its southern allies, went to the United Nations Security Council and issued a resolution that was taken in the absence of the Soviet Union and which provides for military sanctions against North Korea. According to the resolution, a force consisting of 16 countries was formed.
US President Harry Truman has called on the NATO naval and air forces to come to the aid of the South Koreans and to protect the island of Taiwan from the possibility of another communist invasion. He also ordered the American ground forces residing in Japan to go to South Korea.
The coalition that America mobilized - under the cover of the United Nations - consists of the following countries: Australia, Belgium, Luxembourg, Canada, Britain, Colombia, Ethiopia, Greece, the Netherlands, New Zealand, South Africa, Thailand, and Turkey, while Denmark, India, and Sweden have sent medical teams. These forces were led by American General Douglas MacArthur, the military ruler of Japan at that time.
