Cause and Effect on War in
America
By: Nikki Brown
John Heard
The Beginning
• When World War II ended Korea became
a divided nation of the 38 parallel
• A line that crosses Korea at 28 degrees
North latitude, Japanese surrender to
Soviet troops.
• South of this Japanese surrender to
American troops.
Development
• As in Germany the two nations developed.
• The North was communist industrial
whose government was setup by the
Soviets.
• The other was the South non-communist
which was supported by western powers.
The Start
• 1949 the war had ended between the
United States army and the Soviet Union.
• They had withdrawn most of there troops
from Korea the Soviets gambled that the
Us wouldn’t defend South Korea.
• So they supplied North Korea with tanks,
airplanes, and moved in to attempt to take
over the peninsula.
Clean sweep
• On June 25, 1950 North Koreans swept
across the 38th parallel in a surprise attack
against South Korea.
• Within days , North Korean troops had
penetrated deep into the South.
President in the Mix
• President Truman was convinced that the
North’s Korean aggressors were repeating
what Hitler, Mussolini, and the Japanese
had done in the 1930’s.
• South Korea asked the United Nation to
intervene. But they refused to take part in
the council, to protest admission rather
than communist China, into UN.
Results
• As a result, the Soviet Union couldn’t veto
the United Nations plan to send a
international force to Korea to stop the
invasion.
• A total of 15 nations participated under the
command of General Douglas McArthur.
In the meantime
• Meanwhile the North Koreans continued to
advance.
• By Sept.1950, they controlled the entire
Korean peninsula except for tiny area
around Pusan in the far south east.
• The same month McArthur launched a
surprise attack.
The Meeting
• Troops moving from North Pusan met with
forces that had made an amphibious
landing at Incan.
• Caught in this “pincer-attack” about half of
the North Koreans surrendered.
• The rest retreated!!!!!!!!!
Memorials
• A total f 36,576
Americans died while
serving in the Korean
War.
Vietnam War
• When pearl harbor was attack the
surrounding cities and government
became enraged
.
• The War between North and South Korea
also caused the Vietnamese War.
Long Term effects
• The War was extremely costly with over
58,000 Americans died and over 150,000
wounded.
The Conclusion
• The fall of Saigon on April 30, 1975
marked the end of the very bloody war.
What I Learned
• I learned that the major effect of the
Vietnam and Korean war was that “It made
people look at America negatively
because anyone didn’t win these wars.”
How WWII began
• World War II began on Sept. 1, 1939,
when Germany, without a declaration of
war, invaded Poland.
• Britain and France declared war on
Germany on Sept. 3, and all the members
of the Commonwealth of Nations, except
Ireland, rapidly followed suit.
The four causes of WWII
• Treaty of Versailles solved nothing
• League of nations failed to keep the
peace
• Appeasement
• Hitler
Treaty of Versailles solved nothing
• Reparations left many people in the
victorious nations feeling guilty. The loss
of all that land to other countries simply
made Hitler's early aggression look
justified.
• Self Determination surrounded Germany
by a lot of small nation states that fell easy
prey to Germany.
• But it mostly made the Germans angry
League of nations failed to keep the peace
• It was weak from the beginning, and had
spectacular failures in Manchuria and
Abyssinia, and in making Hitler keep the
Treaty of Versailles.
• It failed to achieve disarmament.
• Countries left the failing League, and
realized that they would have to fight a
war.
Appeasement
• Appeasement encouraged war. It made
Hitler think no one dare stop him, which
encouraged him to go further and further
until in the end he went too far.
• The Sudetenland led Stalin to make the
Nazi-Soviet Pact, because he believed he
could not trust Britain.
Hitler
• Many historians still think that the Second
World War was Hitler's personal war, and
that he always intended to fight a war - as
a re-run of a First World War he did not
believe that German had lost fairly.
War in Iraq
Nations Unite & take Action
• After the attack of World War II the nations
came together to create military alliances.
