we continued with presentation.
when we were going over the red scare i wasnt really paying attention.
Cuban Missile Crises:
- Soviets had missiles
- we had just attacked Cuba
- Cuba is nervous
- they invite soviets to bring nuclear missiles to their country
- they got to Cuba by the U2 spy planes
- US panicked
- closest we ever came to Nuclear War
- we reached a compromise
- it was Soviets pull missiles out of Cuba and never to invade Cube and pledge that within 6 months remove our missiles from Turkey
- it lasted 13 days
Korean War:
- Korea was split at the parallel 38 line
- North Korea invaded South Korea
- We had a lot of troops in South Korea and when we pulled them out North Korea invaded
- South Korea doesn't do so good
- push South to the lowest tip
- United Nations step in
- Douglas Mucather leads
- at boarder of China we start talking about invading them
- China is now involved
- China pushes us down then we push back
- the fight ended right under the 38th line
- it ended with an alarmist
- technically still at war
- US has troops there today tht walk the fence (30,000)
- DMZ is that zone
