Chapter 25 The Korean War, 1950-1953 Extracted from AMERICAN MILITARY HISTORY ARMY HISTORICAL SERIES OFFICE OF THE CHIEF OF MILITARY HISTORY UNITED STATES ARMY CHAPTER 25 The Korean War, 1950-1953 After the USSR installed a Communist government in North Korea in September 1948, that government promoted and supported an insurgency in South Korea in an attempt to bring down the recognized government and gain jurisdiction over the entire Korean peninsula. Not quite two years later, after the insurgency showed signs of failing, the northern government undertook a direct attack, sending the North Korea People's Army south across the 38th parallel before daylight on Sunday, June 25, 1950. The invasion, in a narrow sense, marked the beginning of a civil war between peoples of a divided country. In a larger sense, the cold war between the Great Power blocs had erupted in open hostilities. The Decision for War The western bloc, especially the United States, was surprised by the North Korean decision. Although intelligence information of a possible June invasion had reached Washington, the reporting agencies judged an early summer attack unlikely. The North Koreans, they estimated, had not yet exhausted the possibilities of the insurgency and would continue that strategy only. The North Koreans, however, seem to have taken encouragement from the U.S. policy which left Korea outside the U.S. "defense line" in Asia and from relatively public discussions of the economies placed on U.S. armed forces. They evidently accepted these as reasons to discount American counteraction, or their sponsor, the USSR, may have made that calculation for them. The Soviets also appear to have been certain the United Nations would not intervene, for in protest against Nationalist China's membership in the U.N. Security Council and against the U.N.'s refusal to seat Communist China, the USSR member had boycotted council meetings since January 1950 and did not return in June to veto any council move against North Korea.

FRtR Outlines American History (1990) Chapter Eight The Korean War (4/22) An Outline of American History (1990) Chapter Eight The Korean War (4/22) Previous Page Next Page During the final years of President Truman's term of office, events in Asia dominated America's international concerns. As a result of a World War II agreement, the United States and the Soviet Union took trusteeship possession of Korea with the 38th parallel dividing the Soviet zone in the north from the American zone in the south. In 1948, a government fashioned after the Soviet model was established in the north while the United States recognized the Republic of Korea whose government had been chosen in an election supervised by the United Nations. By mid-1949, the United States had removed the bulk of its troops. On June 25, 1950, the North Korean army crossed the 38th parallel and attacked South Korea. An emergency meeting of the United Nations Security Council declared the attack a breach of the peace, demanded immediate withdrawal, termed North Korea an aggressor , and called upon United Nations members to furnish all possible assistance to South Korea. The United States, which felt a special responsibility toward beleaguered South Korea, quickly dispatched air and ground forces. A United Nations Command was established, and for the first time in history an organized international force was fighting aggression, although in actuality, a good 90 percent of the troops were either American or South Korean. These U.N. actions were possible because the Soviet Union's representative to the Security Council had for some time been boycotting meetings and was not present to exercise a veto.

In the past two months, two major "Block-Buster" events occurred. So equally important to the advancement of our Korean War Veterans National Museum and Library are they, that we used a coin toss to determine which would be listed first. The winner is: 1. Buzz Aldrin, former Astronaut and Korean War Combat Pilot agreed to become the principal letter signer for our national direct mail fundraising program. The importance of having Buzz Aldrin on board just can't be over-stated. His credentials are impeccable. In his first fundraising letter requesting donations for our Museum and Library, he writes: "...in 1969, Neil Armstrong and I became the first two men to ever walk on the moon. "What most people don't know is that before I became an astronaut, I was a combat pilot in the Korean War where I flew 66 combat missions and shot down two Mig-15 jets."

CHAPTER 11: Postwar America An Outline of American History "We must build a new world, a far better world one in which the eternal dignity of man is respected." President Harry S. Truman, 1945 CONSENSUS AND CHANGE The United States dominated global affairs in the years immediately after World War II. Victorious in that great struggle, its homeland undamaged from the ravages of war, the nation was confident of its mission at home and abroad. U.S. leaders wanted to maintain the democratic structure they had defended at tremendous cost and to share the benefits of prosperity as widely as possible. For them, as for publisher Henry Luce of Time magazine, this was the "American Century." For 20 years, most Americans remained sure of this confident approach. They accepted the need for a strong stance against the Soviet Union in the Cold War that unfolded after 1945. They endorsed the growth of government authority and accepted the outlines of the welfare state, first formulated during the New Deal. They enjoyed the postwar prosperity that created new levels of affluence in the United States. But gradually some Americans began to question dominant assumptions about American life. Challenges on a variety of fronts shattered the consensus. In the 1950s, African Americans launched a crusade, joined later by other minority groups and women, for a larger share of the American dream. In the 1960s, politically active students protested the nation's role abroad, particularly in the corrosive war in Vietnam, and a youth counterculture challenged the status quo of American values. Americans from many walks of life sought to establish a new equilibrium in the United States.

America's Longest War The Vietnam War was the longest military conflict in U.S. history. The hostilities in Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia claimed the lives of more than 58,000 Americans. Another 304,000 were wounded. No event in American history is more misunderstood than the Vietnam War. It was misreported then, and it is misremembered now. Richard M. Nixon, 1985 US troops during the war in Vietnam in 1966. Sunday is the 25th anniversary of the pullout. (AP file photo) The Vietnam War was the longest and most unpopular war in which Americans ever fought. And there is no reckoning the cost. The toll in suffering, sorrow, in rancorous national turmoil can never be tabulated. No one wants ever to see America so divided again. And for many of the more than two million American veterans of the war, the wounds of Vietnam will never heal. Fifty-eight thousand Americans lost their lives. The losses to the Vietnamese people were appalling. The financial cost to the United States comes to something over $150 billion dollars.

PRINCETON University Press SEARCH: Keywords Author Title More Options Power Search Search Hints E-MAIL NOTICES NEW IN PRINT E-BOOKS ... HOME PAGE The Korean War: An International History William Stueck Shopping Cart Reviews Table of Contents This first truly international history of the Korean War argues that by its timing, its course, and its outcome it functioned as a substitute for World War III. Stueck draws on recently available materials from seven countries, plus the archives of the United Nations, presenting a detailed narrative of the diplomacy of the conflict and a broad assessment of its critical role in the Cold War. He emphasizes the contribution of the United Nations, which at several key points in the conflict provided an important institutional framework within which less powerful nations were able to restrain the aggressive tendencies of the United States. In Stueck's view, contributors to the U.N. cause in Korea provided support not out of any abstract commitment to a universal system of collective security but because they saw an opportunity to influence U.S. policy. Chinese intervention in Korea in the fall of 1950 brought with it the threat of world war, but at that time and in other instances prior to the armistice in July 1953, America's NATO allies and Third World neutrals succeeded in curbing American adventurism. While conceding the tragic and brutal nature of the war, Stueck suggests that it helped to prevent the occurrence of an even more destructive conflict in Europe. Reviews:

37. Subject American History The Korean War Objectives At The Subject american history The korean war Objectives At the conclusion of the lesson, the students should be able to * .identify http://www.public.iastate.edu/~history/lessons/hannibal/cw-korea.txt

Subject: American History: The Korean War Objectives: At the conclusion of the lesson, the students should be able to... * ...identify the reasons for the change in US foreign policy in 1949. * ...understand the factors that led to the outbreak of war in Korea * ...summarize the general strategy of the war fought in Korea. * ...understand the reason behind Truman's decision to relieve MacArthur. * ...explain why the military should be subject to civilian authority. Preparation: * The students are to have read the textbook Legacy of Freedom, Ch. 18, Sec 4, pp. 378-381. * The students in the last row are to have prepared a news item for a brief class discussion on current events. Media: * PowerPoint presentation. * Handout on Bush-Swartzkopf scenario. Introduction (5 minutes): * I will briefly introduce myself to the class. * The students in the last row will be called upon to give their news items. There will be a brief discussion of these news items, and any others I will happen to point out. Lecture (15 minutes): * What events shocked Americans in 1949? Mao Zedong's Communist forces have defated the Nationalist forces in China. The Soviet Union tested an atomic device in Siberia. * Why did these events trigger a change in US foreign policy? It was believed that Truman had "let" the Communists take over China, by not providing adequate military aid to the Nationalists. The menace of Communism needed to be contained. The United States no longer has a monopoly on atomic weapons. The United States needed to develop new weapons, such as the Hydrogen Bomb, in addition to building up conventional forces. * Why did war start in Korea? After WWII, Korea was occupied in the North by the Soviets, and in the South by Allied forces. The dividing line was the 38th parallel. The UN tries to sponsor elections, but the Soviets installed Kim Il Sung as the leader of a North Korean Communist state, north of the 38th parallel. Sung and Syngman Rhee, the South Korean leader, both desire to unite Korea under one government. North Korean troops crossed the 38th parallel in a surprise attack, and easily overwhelm Allied and South Korean defense forces in June of 1950. Truman calls up the UN, and begins support operations for the troops in South Korea under the command of General MacArthur. * What was the initial strategy of the war in Korea? Truman's goal was to drive the North Korean forces back across the 38th parallel. MacArthur is pushed back to the Pusan Perimiter. New troops arrive, and MacArthur launches a simultaneous attack, from Pusan and an amphibious assault at Inchon. The forces would meet in the center, and cut off the North Korean forces. MacArthur's strategy is a success, and the North Korean army is decisively defeated. The goal of securing South Korea to the 38th parallel is met. * So what happened next? MacArthur is authorized by the United Nations to unite Korea, so he marches straight to Pyongyang, the North Korean capital, takes it, and comes within a few miles of the Chinese border. Then, China sends 300,000 troops in a counter attack, and wind up pushing MacArthur back, eventually capturing Seoul, the South Korean capital. MacArthur decides the US should strike back at China directly, with a naval blockade, bombings, and an invasion of Nationalist Chinese troops. * Why does Truman end up firing MacArthur? Truman believed MacArthur's plan would be likely to lead to a much wider war in Asia. The soldiers and equipment needed for the war would have to come from Western Europe, and will leave Europe vulnerable to attack from the Soviets, our new atomic power. Truman wants to negotiate a settlement to end the war. MacArthur publically criticizes Truman's policy, and as a result relieved of command for insubordination. The war reaches a stalemate, and stays that way for two years. Activity (10 minutes): * Why was Truman criticized by the public? * Was Truman justified in "firing" MacArthur? * If you were President Bush, what would you do if you do if General Swartzkopf decided to go ahead and roll on into Baghdad during the Gulf War? * The class shall break into groups of 3 or 4 to discuss this scenario, which is more fully detailed in the handout. This should take 5-10 minutes. * The groups should write their responses on the blackboard for discussion. Debriefing (10 minutes): * What did the groups decide: Fire him, or give him a medal? * Why would it be wrong if Swartzkopf decided to ignore Bush's orders? * Who should really be in charge of the military, the generals or the civilians? Discussion Activity: You are President George Bush in Febuary 1990, right in the middle of the Gulf War against Saddam Hussein's troops in Iraq. The UN coalition forces have easily defeated the Iraqui army, and have completed the objective of driving the Iraqui forces from Kuwait. But General Swartzkopf holds a press conference on CNN, and explains that the UN goals are senseless. The Iraqui armed forces have been essentially wiped out. Now is the perfect opportunity to march straignt into Baghdad, and take care of Saddam Hussein once and for all. This is in direct violation of your orders to General Swartzkopf. It is also contrary to the goals of the UN Coalition forces. As President of the United States, what do you do? 1. Reach a group consensus on this issue. 2. Choose a person from your group to write your response on the blackboard. 3. Be prepared to discuss and defend your group's response in class.

KOREAN WAR HISTORY - 12 VOLUMES 4,750 pages of text covering Korean War history in 12 Volumes, archived on 4 searchable CD-ROM discs. Twelve volumes of Korean War history produced by historians of the United States Army. A comprehensive account of U.S. Army activities in the Korean War. Titles included are: Policy and Direction: The First Year; South to the Naktong, North to the Yalu; Ebb and Flow; Truce Tent and Fighting Front; The Medics' War; Combat Support in Korea; Combat Actions in Korea; Military Advisors in Korea: Kmag in Peace and War; Black Soldier/White Army: The 24th Infantry Regiment in Korea; U.S. Army Mobilization and Logistics in the Korean War: A Research Approach; Korea, 1950; and Korea, 1951 to 1953. POLICY AND DIRECTION: THE FIRST YEAR , by Colonel James F. Schnabel "Describes the initial direction and strategy of the first major, though limited war that the United States was to fight on the continent of Asia in the era of global tension that followed World War II. There are marked similarities as well as some basic differences between the war in Korea and the war that would follow a decade later in Southeast Asia, and certainly the study of both is necessary to understand the limitations on armed conflict under the shadow of nuclear holocaust. One can also discern in this volume the importance of individuals in altering the course of human events and the fate of nations, the wider concerns that preclude the massing by a world power of its military strength in one direction, and many other facets of the nation's recent military history it behooves all thoughtful Americans to ponder."
