The ‘lost chance’ argument for Sino-American accommodation was undermined by the ideology of both parties. There never existed a chance in 1949 whereby the United States could detach the People’s Republic of China from the Soviet sphere of influence. Chinese diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union were too intimate despite the tensions that arose between Mao and Stalin throughout the late 1940s. The cultural and historical context that the Chinese Communists evoked when dealing with the…

The war that raged in Korea between 1950 and 1953 did not begin as a huge international conflict during the Cold War, but would eventually become that once the United States and other countries decided to get involved in the Korean Civil War (Office of the Historian). Korea, throughout its history, was owned by other countries. From 1910 until the end of World War II, Japan had control and influence of Korea as a whole. Because Japan was on the losing side of World War II, the future of Korea…

Legacies of Japanese colonialism for the two Koreas After taking part in the lecture and reading the article of Bruce Cumings, I gained a much better understanding on several aspects of the afterlife of the Japanese colonial era in Korea. One of the key concepts was the role the colonization has played in the success of economical development in both North and South Korea. Both Cumings and Carter J. Eckert argue that the roots of South Korea's capitalist revolution can be traced back this era,…

1 Missing of the traditional Korean culture one reason of the successful K-movement was because of the globalization of creativity which is built on a remarkable outsourcing system. The producer, composer or choreographer of a K-pop singer does not have to be a Korean. Despite the songs had been produced in Korean language and performed by Korean people, there always is a western shadow over it. It is hard to connect a Korean song written by foreigners with the Korean culture itself. This kind…

The end of the Cold War marked an important phase in the advent of Human rights into international politics. The cold war was a conflict of the ideologies (capitalism and communism), however when the war ended, the world saw the need to shift focus on other factors that are essential to the survival of the global community. This shift of priorities thus led to the focus on human rights and other fundamental rights that had since been neglected and hence violated in the bid to spread capitalist…

saw any significant war other than the Vietnam War going ahead at the time. While individuals who bolstered the Vietnam War had a tendency to be moderately aged, having known individuals who battled in the second war and presumably battled in the Korean War. This was a vital element in the change of assessment on the Vietnam War as more individuals could witness a portion of the brutalities of the Vietnam War. The American media at the time were depicting America as the antagonists of the war;…

War Poems: Similarities and Differences “Older men declare war. But it is the youth that must fight and die.” This quote was made by former president Herbert Hoover in regards to truth about what happens in a course of a country during the time war. This statement is true in many ways as a majority of the large wars that the United States participated in younger men were required to sign up for the draft which people involuntary went to fight for a cause that they personally may have not…

On June 25th, 1950 the Korean War began when North Korea invaded South Korea with about 75,000 initial soldiers. The war was being fought over communism, the simple idea that the South Koreans despised and the American government wanted to stop from spreading. The American government feared a so called domino effect which was the spreading of communism to any country near the founding country. For this reason the United States of America was willing to go to war, in July of 1950 the American…

changes that were attained during the Cold War, as highlighted in the following paragraphs. Firstly, it is part of the UN’s contribution to prevent the Cold War from becoming “hot” worldwide. At many crossroads throughout the Cold War — such as the Korean War, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Vietnam War, and the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan — the UN repeatedly provided a platform for the airing of grievances and resentments and further negotiation (O’Sullivan, 2015).
