speech. There is no free media, and one voicing a negative opinion about the government could make them and their family go to a political prison camp, where they are forced into labor. In addition to North Koreans having no rights, they are constantly hungry with nothing to eat. Many North Koreans hate life in their country, so some try to escape by doing this: becoming an important official, being sent out of the country, and staying there. People who have done this have claimed that North…

Throughout the 20th century, the fate of East Asia was deciding by wars. In 1950 the war between North and South Korea began. When Korea was liberated from Japan, the victorious allies decided to divide Korea in two parts, where south belonged to the US and north to the USSR. Therefore, Communism was established in north and capitalism in south. However, Kim Il-sung the leader of North Korea wanted to unify Korea and he was hoping to get a support from the USSR. Josef Stalin rejected his offer,…

as terrified and depressed people who are involuntarily forced by the Korean government to live in a place with no freedom. This is even shown by the number of refugees who risk not only their own lives but their families in order to desperately escapes the clutches of their horrifying environment. They are human beings and I do concur that they want a choice because it is in human nature to…

President Truman's U.S. Containment Policy was a success for many reasons. He helped with the marshall plan which paid off western europe. He helped with the Korean War by supporting. As well as the Vietnam War, by trying to fight the outbreak of communism in Vietcong. The Marshall Plan paid off western europe and then later to rebuild war-torn Europe to prevent the spread of communism, facilitate global trade and free markets, and encourage European peace. The U.S. gave $13 billion to European…

After the Immigration Act of 1924 was passed, which limited the annual number of immigrants under the quota system, the number of immigrants was drastically reduced. However, the number of emigrants began to increase again from 1945 and rose sharply after the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 was passed, which abolished quota system. Some groups of immigrants had similar circumstances and reasons with the emigrants who came to the U.S. during the period from the late 19th century and the…

over 300,000 troops from China had join North Korea which made the war last longer because China and North Korea had pushed the UN and South Korean troops past the 38th parallel. No because MacArthur had…

I researched the former POTUS Eisenhower Doctrine (Jan. 5, 1957) during the Cold War period which was after World War II. The U.S. foreign-policy pronouncement by former POTHUS Dwight D. Eisenhower was promising the Middle Eastern country military or economic aid. This aid was to assist in the resisting of the aggression by the communist in the Middle East. His doctrine was focused on preventing the increased Soviet influence within the Middle East. This increased Soviet influence was the direct…

Joseph McCarthy was born in 1908 in Appleton, Wisconsin. He attended school until he was fourteen but dropped out in eighth grade to help on the family farm as well as raise chickens. At the age of twenty, he decided to go back to school and in one year went through ninth to twelfth grades to graduate. He graduated with honors yet he told people he had higher grades than he actually earned. (Morgan 2003) Ted Morgan in Legal Affairs noted that McCarthy’s high school grades were below 90 due to…

Everyday Life in The North Korean Revolution 1945-1950, and Hazel Smith’s book Markets and Military Rule support or challenge conventional wisdom. However, ways to analysis North Korea are different between two authors. Suzy Kim explains North Korea by using words, whereas Hazel Smith use numbers to analyze North Korea. Seeing politics, economy, and society of North Korea from different two views of Suzy Kim and Hazel Smith is the good way of understanding how North Korean state has been built.…

The finger of who started the Cold War can be pointed at Truman, Stalin, and Churchill. There are many reasons for the start of the war and not all of the blame can truly be placed on one person. With that being said, there is one person who can be held more accountable than all the rest. I see Josef Stalin as being most responsible for the outbreak of the Cold War. He was the leader of the Soviet Communist Party for over thirty years. He was a dictator who took complete control and was seeking…
