Korean War Veterans Memorial

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…

different context and historical events caused new kinds of immigration and new types of people to emigrate. Many American soldiers married foreign women during World War II, so…

wanted the Chinese to have a reason to join the war so he had told MacArthur to stay away from the China border. I believe that it would be Truman's because he had known what would happen if MacArthur had gone to close to the China border. Which when MacArthur had went by the China border it had made chaos because 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…

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…

around Cuba to prevent anything else from coming in stopping the communists China right in their tracks. Although there were many other times during the Cold War that the United States attempted to contain communism like the Truman Doctrine and Marshall Plan, three examples are very clear. The three examples were; the Berlin Wall, the Korean War, and the Cuban Missile Crisis. Today it is important to understand the policy of containment because it knowing that some things just need to be under…

The President’s Barber is a fiction film that tells a story of a barber and his family through many decades of Korean history, specifically focusing on the political aspect. Although the film is fiction, it uses real South Korean figures and events throughout the movie as a way to get the audience more engaged for which they may have known those figures or events in their time as citizens. For those who were not around during the time that those figures or events have occurred, the film was able…

Analysis Men and women that went to Vietnam came back plagued with gruesome stories of all the things they did and some never came back at all. The Vietnam War was the most unpopular war the United States had ever been involved in. Unlike WWI, WWII, or the Korean War the veterans were not welcomed home. They hid their involvement from the war to stay away from the judgement they would have received from some members of society. The soldiers normalized death and destruction while in Vietnam so it…
