KOREAN WAR 1950-1953

KOREA BEFORE THE COLD WAR „ After the conclusion of WWII in September 1945, the Soviet Union declared war on

Japan; this was done in agreement with the United States. „ Japan had ruled over Korea for more than 30 years.

„ To weaken Japan’s power, the SU liberated the northern part of Korea and the US occupied the southern region.

„ By 1948, the relationship between the SU and US soured.

„ Neither the SU nor the US wanted to give up their influence in Korea; as a compromise, Korea was split into two at the 38th Parallel. „ North à Democratic People’s Republic of Korea

„ Supported by the SU and Chinese Communist Party

„ South à Republic of Korea „ Supported by the US and had democracy

„ US hoped the division would keep the peace and prevent the spread of Communism in Asia.

„ The goal was to have the split be temporary but neither side wanted to give up their control.

HOW THE WAR BEGAN „ After growing tensions, North Korea invaded South

Korea by crossing the 38th Parallel on June 25, 1950. „ North Korea’s goal à Unite North and South Korea

under one government independent of foreign influence.

„ North Korea saw the separation of the country as the fault of unwanted American interference and they wanted to free South Korea from the grip of the US.

„ The SU and communist China were backing North Korea.

„ The US was very surprised because their focus had been on stopping the spread of Communism in Europe; they really weren’t prepared to deal with something in Asia.

„ The South Korea army was no match for the North Koreans, who swiftly advanced.
