full of secrets, intent on doing what is their ruler’s best interest. North Korea happens to have a very interesting history, one that is full of violence and power. Korea used to be ruled by a dynasty; Japan colonized Korea which left the Koreans remembering the colonial rule as brutal. Korea was split between the Soviet Union and the United States…

It was about Communist North Vietnam trying to take over the south And after all the help that the United states rendered North Vietnam won. Communism versus anti-communism had another match up starring the United States and the Soviet Union in the Korean War. It was communist North Korea versus anti-communist South Korea with the United States backing the anti-communist movement. The Marshall Plan was created to help fight the “’ hunger, poverty, desperation’ that spawned communism” (835).…

April 15, 2017, the North Korean government launched a missile test which failed just seconds after being deployed. The weekend of April 15 became extremely tense internationally, especially between the United States and North Korea. The United States had the fear North Korea would be testing not only ballistic missiles but conducting nuclear tests. The United States government has been on its toes speculating that North Korea will begin launching its sixth nuclear-weapons test soon. The United…

when they say “With this leftward shift in ideological identifications, South Korea became one of the most left-wing new democracies in a relatively short period of democratization. More noteworthy than this shift alone is the fact that most South Koreans who identify themselves with the left sympathize with North Korea 's left-wing ideology of communism” This helps us not only understand the Korea’s status as a Democratic Republic is susceptible to failure, but that a many Korean’s –…

To what extent did international events justify the American Responses at home? Use the documents and your knowledge of american history in the period between 1945 and 1961 to address the prompt.

In this section, I am going to explain why it is beneficial for a superpower to have a grand strategy (or maybe finish the last paragraph with that). The policy of containment of the United States during the Cold war perfectly shows the purposefulness of having a coherent, clear and functioning high strategy for superpowers. I believe that it is one of the most successful and clear examples of how grand strategy can actually work – maybe in the end of the paragraph. It was firstly designed by…

General MacArthur: A Bid For the Bomb In his speech “Farewell Address to Congress,” Douglas MacArthur, a venerated general who commanded the United Nations forces during the Korean War before he was released by President Truman on the charge of treason, argues that the use of any means necessary to stop the threat of Communism from spreading, including the use of atomic weapons on Communist China, is imperative to effectively and immediately end the war in Korea.

happening to North Korean people and the way it’s affected the world as a whole. The dictionary definition of labor camp is, “a prison camp in which a regime of hard labor is enforced.” (Merriam-Webster) In North Korea the people are controlled by a…

There are many countries in the world that aren't free and don’t allow their citizens to have the same freedoms as the United States. One of the largest ones that keeps coming to my mind is North Korea as it has been featured in the news for many reasons and actions. I feel that there should be more measures taken to stop their dictator, Kim Jong Un, from abusing his own citizens and denying them opportunities and natural rights. There are many examples of how the government and their country is…

However, no one ended up fighting because they knew mankind would most likely be lost if done. Both the US and Soviets armed different sides to block each other’s strategy’s. Some examples of those proxy wars include The Korean War, and The Vietnam war. The first proxy war was the Korean War.
