Korea+9321




 * It's known as "The Forgotten War", but all Americans should learn about it and remember it ... and that's where you can __help__. You have been asked to develop a "Korea ** **9** **3 2 1" webpage to cover the basic information everyone should know about the Korean War - all on one page. Your page should include ...**


 * 9** - facts about the causes, events, and impact of the Korean War (look at my examples below)
 * 3** - photos that help tell the story of the war, with descriptive captions
 * 2** - maps that help to explain the war.
 * 1** - quote that is essential to understanding the war, with authors and context

9 - **Come up with __9 great facts__ that everyone should know about "The Forgotten War", using the examples below as guides. I will have my own list that will use to compare to yours - hopefully you will ge most of the facts on my list! At least 2 of the facts should be about the CAUSES of the war, at least 3 of the facts should be about the WAR itself, and at least 2 facts should be about the EFFECTS OR IMPACT of the war. The other two can be from any category.**
 * China was at war. Nationalists headed by Chiang Kai-sheck and supported by U.S. against communists headed by Mao Zedong.
 * Communists won. Caused fear in America that Communism would grow.
 * Korea was taken over by Soviet troops (Above 38th parallel, became communists) and U.S. controlled South Korea (non-communist).
 * North Korean forces crossed into South Korea, became Korean War.
 * United Nations gathered troops (mostly U.S. troops) and sent them to Korea to fight the Commuists.
 * Douglas MacArthur served as commander. Invaded North Korea, and pushed North Koreans up to China's border.
 * China feels threatened as U.N. troops get close, and warns U.N. to stop. U.N. doesn't stop and China enters the war. Truman fires MacArthur after he criticized Trumans approach to the war.
 * Eisenhower became persident, and ended the war quickly. Korea returned to the way it was before.
 * Joseph McCarthy used Korean War to increase Americas fear of communism.

Like in WWI, troops often hda to stay in trenches. These conditions though, were even worse. The weather in Korea was very difficult for the troops. The winters were cold and chilly, and the summers were hot and humid.
 * 3 - Photos should help tell the story of the war, so find three photos that __work__ ... and provide a descriptive caption, like the one on my example**.

The fighting in the Korean war mostly took place in open spaces of land like this, but sometimes took place in highly tree filled areas.

**2** - **What's a war without maps? Insert two maps that help tell the story of the causes, events, and/or impact of the map (with a caption for each)** This is how the situation was when the battle first began. The blue part is the section of land that the U.S. controlled. After a good amount of fighting, the U.S. managed to push the Koreans back past the halfwa mark.

**1** - **You know historical quotes can bring old crusty things to like, so find at least one decent quote that helps add to the content of the Korean War (and __provide some context for the quotes__). For example ...**

//** "I will defend Korea as I would as I would my own country-just as I would California." **// General Douglas MacArthur to Dr. Syngman Rhee, President of the South Korean Republic, October 1948
