"Was the Korean War an Interna
The Korean War, or more accurately, the Korean Conflict was quite obviously both a civil conflict and an international conflict. As I go forward in this discussion of the "war", I will attempt to explain my theory on both separate ideas. Fundamentally, it is hard to have a civil conflict, that will not in some respect, impact a part of the entire world. The Korean conflict was a civil war (from now on I will refer to the Korean conflict as a war collectively) between two sets of the same people. Though Korea was split into two separate countries, each country still consisted of the same Korean people. Many families were split in half with the dividing of the Korean peninsula. Much like our own civil war, you had fellow countrymen and relatives fighting against each other. The war was an attempt by North Korea to unify the country under one rule, that of communism. The most unfortunate aspect of the Korean war, is that we allowed, if not guaranteed the war to take place. Since
We then bargained with the Japanese to allow the colonization of Korea. No, the primary reason the United States became involved is to stop the spread of communism. At the same time the introduction of foreign powers into the war, China in the North with primarily the US intervening on the South's behalf, does more than suggest that it crossed into an international conflict. We are as much to b lame for the war as the fanatical ideas of the Kim Il Sung regime. The United States since its early days in sea trading, have run over this country to satisfy our own interests. Then we divided their country giving major rights to a communist power over half of it. The simple truth is that it was definitely both. We had entered an era of the containment policy. Our role in the Korean conflict is as damaging, in my opinion as the assault on South Korea June 25, 1950. That idea leads me to the next point, that the Korean war was an international incident. From what I have learned in this class, the United States certainly did not help South Korea out during the war, due to any degree of guilt or indignation at the "little guy" being invaded. We disguised our actions, and paraded them around as the great savior of this country, when really we helped to destroy it. But, had things worked out differently, there is no way of telling what role the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea, had they been victorious, would have had along side of China and the Soviet Union. Only, the United States role was much more insidious.
