After World War II, there were many questions about who would control Korea. As part of the Truman Doctrine, the United States helped Korea financially and militarily. It was a key nation for us when China became Communist in the early 1950's and the Soviet Union was communist above Korea. In fact, Korea had been divided up at the 38th Parallel into a North side (allied with the Soviet Union) and a south side (allied with the United States).
When the north side (the communist side) invaded the south side, the United States got involved. In the end, the war was a stale-mate, with neither the north nor the south side defeating the other side.

2. Was it a good idea to get involved?
3. Was this successful?
4. What can we learn from it?
