Today most of our groups finished the videos! I think so far that it has been a very fun project and yet educational.
Korean Conflict
- War between North and South Korea; China helped the North and United Nations (U.S.(90%), U.K. France) helped the South.
- The North invaded the South first and pushed them all the way down to the Pustan area
- This invasion took place after the U.S. decided they need to worry more about helping Japan rather than South Korea so we pulled out and the North attacked.
- Kimil Sung was the leader of North Korea and got permission from China and the Soviets to invade South Korea
- General Douglas MacArthur was the head leader for South fighters- Truman had to fire him because he kept talking about invading China
- China got nervous when we forced the North back toward them that we would invade; they then entered this war
- The End: Eisenhoer campaigned that he would (and did) end this war
- This was never officailly a war; we called it a conflict; 35/6,000 Americans died in this war
- DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) = the present day border of North and South Korea- we still have 30,000 troops there
- This war is called the forgotten war because it's between the Vietnam war and the Cold War
