Turning Points in American History: The Korean War, 1950-1953 In the years following World War II the traditional world order underwent fundamental changes. The United States abandoned its customary isolationism and helped rebuild a war-torn world. Around the globe, colonies gained their independence. The United Nations (U.N.) was established to help stabilize international relations and to help find solutions to international problems or disputes. Despite the high hopes which greeted its founding, the United Nations was unable to achieve international harmony. For more than 40 years after World War II, the United States and its allies in the democratic world were pitted against the Soviet Union and its satellites in the communist world. Most of the time, the conflict stopped short of open warfare. In 1950, however, on a peninsula in eastern Asia, the first military battles of the Cold War took place. A few years earlier, in the closing stages of World War II, the rivalry between the United States and the Soviet Union had led to the division of the Korean Peninsula at the 38th Parallel, with the Soviet Union occupying the area to the north and the United States the area to the south. North Korea became a Soviet satellite, while South Korea aligned with the U.S. In June 1950, North Korea attempted to reunify the country by invading South Korea.

First recorded settlement of Filipinos in America. They escape imprisonment aboard Spanish galleons by jumping ship in New Orleans and fleeing into the bayous. First recorded arrival of an Asian Indian in the United States. China is defeated by the British Empire in the first Opium Warresulting in Treaty of Nanjing whereby China is forced to payindemnities of 21 million silver dollars, cede the island of Hong Kong and open five ports to foreign commerce. As a result peasant farmersare heavily taxed. A series of floods and crop failures in southern China lead to poverty and threat of famine among peasant farmers. Three Chinese students arrive in New York City for schooling. One of them, Yung Wing graduated from Yale in 1854 becoming the first Chinese to graduate in the United States. Strike of gold at Sutter's Mill, CA, draws Chinese immigrants to WestCoast to mine gold. Many arrive as indentured servants during theCalifornia Gold Rush. The bulk of Chinese immigrants come later as acheap source of labor to work the railroads, mines and in other industries. California imposes a Foreign Miner's License Tax, collecting $3 a month from every foreign miner who did not desire (or was prohibited by law) to become a citizen. The purpose of this tax was to reduce the number of Chinese immigrating to California as well as to discourage Chinese from mining for gold (although they did not pose a great threat to white miners since they usually worked deserted claims).

Stanley K. Schultz, Professor of History William P. Tishler, Producer Lecture 23 The Coils of Cold War In the immediate aftermath of World War II, the United States took a turn to the economic and political right. Nothing demonstrated this shift more than the Second Red Scare. The trials, denouncements, black lists, and paranoia about Communism in the Second Red Scare showed the domestic face of the Cold Warthe international struggle between the Soviet Union and the United States for world dominance. This lecture traces how the Cold War transformed anti-Communism from a right-wing to a mainstream ideology. Some questions to keep in mind: Compare and contrast the development of political ideologies in the post-WWII era to those of the Depression era, concentrating on the attitudes of Americans toward Communism. Compare the events, justifications, and results of the Second Red Scare to those of the First Red Scare. Who supported Joe McCarthy and why? Compare the competing American and Soviet visions for the post-war world in 1945. How did these opposing ideas lead to a "cold war?" Compare the foreign policy goals of the Truman administration with those of Woodrow Wilson's administration.

The Korean War History of the Iowa National Guard CW2 David L. Snook On June 25, 1950, communist North Korea invaded South Korea, encouraged perhaps by U. S. Secretary of State Dean Acheson’s comment that South Korea lay "outside the U. S. defense perimeter," tempted certainly by South Korea’s lack of military preparedness. North Korean forces, 90,000 strong, trained by Russian advisors, and equipped with 150 Soviet-built T-34 tanks, swept across the 38 th parallel and into South Korea. For many weeks, U. S. and U. N. forces could provide only limited assistance. By early August, South Korean forces and the first American units had been penned up in what became known as the "Pusan Perimeter." Only with MacArthur’s spectacular "end run" up to Inchon, in September, did the initiative switch to the South Koreans and the Americans. At this point, a critical decision was made. The Truman administration decided that the war would be an effort not simply at containment but also at "liberation." Truman gave MacArthur permission to pursue the communists into their own territory. His aim, in the words of a recently approved U. N. resolution, was to create "a unified, independent and democratic Korea." Within weeks, communist forces had pushed the Americans back below the 38

The Korean War: Fire and Ice Less than five years after the end of World War II, American troops, as part of the United Nations Security Council, became embroiled in a military action. Begun as a war between South Korea (Republic of Korea) and North Korea (Democratic People’s Republic of Korea) after the North’s invasion of the South, the conflict swiftly developed into a limited international war. A product of the Cold War, the Korean War reverberated from Moscow to Washington, with The People’s Republic of China as the supplier of communist troops. When the “police action” ended three years and millions of casualties later, neither side had gained any ground; Korea remained divided at the 38th parallel. This History Channel special presentation furnishes a detailed account of the “forgotten war.” Using archival footage and interviews, it presents a battle-by-battle chronicle, as well as an analysis of the war and its global implications. The Korean War: Fire and Ice would be useful for classes on American history, American Culture, World History, Military History, and Ethics. It is appropriate for middle school, high school and college. Students will analyze the causes, effects, and consequences of the Korean War on American social and political culture. They will examine the Cold War atmosphere that fueled the war, and influenced decisions about the war. They will learn about how the soldiers' experiences in the war and compare these experiences with those of the civilian population and politicians.

Capital Cities Korean War During the early part of the 1900s, Japan seized control of Korea. Japan kept control of its Korean neighbor for over 35 years with often harsh policies and an attempt to eradicate Korean culture in favor of Japanese ideas and ways. As the end of World War II drew to a close, the allied leadership promised the Korean people that after Japan was defeated, Korea would be able to regain its independence. However, the former Soviet Union shared a border with Korea, and the USSR wanted a to expand into Korea themselves. So the USSR communist regime under Joseph Stalin declared war on Korea and invaded it just shortly before Japan surrendered to the United States. After the World War II surrender, Japanese troops did not immediately leave Korea. So United States officials met with the officials of the USSR to decide on how to remove Japanese troops from Korea. The United States agreed to Soviet occupation of the northern part of Korea with the U.S. occupying the southern part. The dividing line was the 38th parallel of north latitude. The southern part was called the Republic of Korea and the northern portion the People's Democratic Republic of Korea. Efforts to reunify Korea failed. North Korean forces invaded South Korea in 1950 and President Harry Truman authorized the use of American land, sea, and air forces in Korea to defend South Korea. Shortly thereafter, 15 other nations that belonged to the United Nations joined the U.S. in fighting the North Koreans.

I read THIS KIND OF WAR almost 20 years ago. It stays with me as one of the best and most important books Ive ever read. Fehrenbach was, as another reader-reviewer says, too close to the story to write with the objectivity he later displayed in his excellent histories of Texas, Mexico, and the Comanches. But that kind of detachment will show up in other histories by different authors. What Fehrenbach gives us is the view of someone whom was there, and whom witnessed it all from the inside confusion, complacency, cowardice, stupidity, valor. Im very glad that this book is so popular in the Army and Air Force. I hope it continues to be read, and learned from. I just wish it were a standard high school textbook, both to let our youth know why we should stay out of war when we can, and what we MUST do when we are in one.
