anonymous · Answer

1.the main reason we entered the Korean War was because we wanted to contain communism in Asia. "The domino theory" stayed that once a country is "infected" with communism, it will spread to other countries. That's why we joined Vietnam also. To stop the spread communism.

Decolonization is the change from colonial to independent. In Africa, people didn't want to be colonized so they basically fought to be independent, and withdrew their administrators. A proxy war is a war that has been instigated by a major power.

2. Taught the US not to invade North Vietnam; as Red China entered the Korean War after the US/Allies invaded North Korea.
