Question

what were causes and the effect of the korean war

Answer 1

Causes: The main cause for the Korean War started after WWII. An agreement was made between the Allied Forces and the Soviet forces. The country was divided along the 38th Parallel by American administrators. The northern part of the country was occupied by Soviet troops and the southern part was occupied by troops from the United States. This caused much tension between the two countries particularly as the Cold War intensified and allegiances were drawn. During the late 1940’s Northern Korea established a communist government and the 38th Parallel became a political border between the two sides. North Korea, as a communist state, wanted to expand it borders and many skirmishes and raids were carried out by both sides across the 38th parallel. The United Nations supported South Korea’s government and tensions continued to mount. North Korea sought assistance from both the Soviet Union and the People’s Republic of China to mount an assault against South Korea. China committed to support the leader of North Korea an on the June 25, 1950, North Korean troops advanced across the 38th Parallel and invaded South Korea. This event instigated what is now known as the Korean War.


Effects:


1.There were several casualties on both sides, though the exact figure is unknown.
2.The Korean War created more friction between the United States and the Soviet Union.
3.The War made the United States truly aware of the "falling domino" effect of communism
4.South Korea became an important US military base with thousands of American troops stationed there.
5. North Korea has carried out a controversial nuclear test and several ballistic missile tests, keeping South Korea, Japan, USA (Hawaii) and China in their missile range.
