Question

Why did the United States get involved in the Korean War? In what ways was the war a success, and in what ways was it a failure?

Answer 1

Stalin threatened to spread communism and President Truman believed that. When North Korea invaded South Korea with the consent of Russia and China, Truman led a peace keeping mission with the U.N. to end the spread of communism. Korea was threatening Japan and the world did not tolerate this. The U.S. got involved to stop the expansion of communism and to aid South Korea.
