The Korean War accomplished the U.S. policy of ____

Answer 1

i have to get my answer off of this reading
The Soviet Union had occupied the nation of Korea north of the 38th parallel of north latitude in the closing days of World War II. In keeping with his actions in Eastern Europe, Stalin refused to allow Korea to be reunited under a free government. Instead, he set up a Communist government in North Korea, while the United States allowed free elections in South Korea. Both north and south claimed to be the lawful government for the entire nation. The United States ended its occupation of the south in 1949 and withdrew its troops.

On June 25, 1950, North Korea invaded South Korea. The United Nations immediately condemned the invasion and asked its members to aid South Korea. The Soviet Union would have vetoed this action, but it was boycotting to protest the fact that Communist China had not been given the Chinese seat on the UN Security Council. Without ever formally declaring war, the United States provided most of the men and weapons for the conflict that followed.

The North quickly drove the unprepared South Korean troops down the Korean Peninsula. American reinforcements did not arrive quickly enough to prevent the fall of the capital, Seoul. In fact, the Allies (U.S., South Korea, and other UN members) were driven back until they held only a small area around the city of Pusan in the country's southeast corner. There they held their ground at what was known as the Pusan Perimeter.

General Douglas MacArthur was given command of the Allies. He decided not to fight his way back up the peninsula through the enemy lines. Instead, in a brilliant military maneuver, he sent troops to land halfway up the peninsula at Inchon, near Seoul. These forces cut off the army attacking the Pusan Perimeter and liberated the capital. Then, MacArthur began to drive up into North Korea. Allied forces had almost conquered the entire country when China sent hundreds of thousands of "volunteers" to the aid of the North Koreans. It was the Allies who were then driven back. They lost and then later retook Seoul in the fighting that followed. The conflict eventually reached a stalemate very near the 38th parallel which had been the original border
