New technology developed during the Korean War included: MiG15 jets, F-86 Sabre Fighters, G-suits for pilots, and Napalm.

In the Korean War, there were approximately 69,000 soldier casualties in the first year – more than ever before. Buildings were destroyed. People were left homeless. Innocent women, children and animals died as cities were attacked and bombed. In 1953 an armistice was signed temporarily suspending military action; however, an official peace treaty was never signed.
The Korean War was based on fear and innocent people died. War Is Always Different, War Is Always the Same.
The Vietnam War (classified by some historians as a conflict rather than a war) began as a conflict between North and South Vietnam. The country divided itself into two territories. North Vietnam chose a communist government while the free state of South Vietnam formed an alliance with the U.S. Conflicts between Twentieth Century Wars and Conflicts Level 6 NV 26Washoe County School District - Project G.L.A.D (06/06 JB)
soldiers occurred in the Vietnamese jungles and swamps.
In the Vietnam War, 2,400,000 soldiers died – more than ever before in a foreign conflict. Buildings were destroyed. People were left homeless. Innocent women, children and animals died as cities were attacked and bombed. In 1973, the US pulled agreed to pull all troops out of Vietnam. The conflict officially ended when North Vietnam took over South Vietnam in 1975 and officially united both territories as one communist country, the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.
The Vietnam War was based on fear and innocent people died. War Is Always Different, War Is Always the Same.

In Flander’s Fields
In Flanders fields the poppies blowBetween the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the skyThe larks, still bravely singing, flyScarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the dead. Short days agoWe lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow.Loved, and were loved, and now we lieIn Flanders Fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foeTo you from failing hands we throwThe torch; be yours to hold it high.If ye break faith with us who dieWe shall not sleep, though poppies growIn Flanders Fields.

REMEMBER PEARL HARBOR
History, in every century, records an act that livesforevermore.We’ll recall, as into line we fall, the thing that happened on Hawaii’s shore.
Let’s remember Pearl Harboras we go to meet the foe.Let’s remember Pearl Harboras we did the Alamo.
We will always remember how they died for liberty.Let’s remember Pearl Harborand go on to victory.

World War I
In the 19th century, Great Britain, France and Germany became very powerful and wealthy. Nationalism, or pride in one’s nation, was rising and countries began building up their armies. They argued about control of territories and resources. Many countries formed alliances, or agreements with other countries. The Central Powers consisted of Austria-Hungary and Germany. The Allied Powers consisted of France, Great Britain, Serbia, Russia and the US. The Serbian nationalists is Russia assassinated, or killed, the Archduke of Austria-Hungary, beginning the war. The war raged from 1914 - 1918. The US did not get involved until 1917, when a German U-boat (submarine) torpedoed and saind the cruise ship, Lusitania. The war ended when Germany surrendered and the Treaty of Versailles was signed in France on November 11, 1918 at 11 AM. That day was originally called Armistice (or Peace) Day. This is where we get Veteran’s Day today.The League of Nations was formed to prevent a world war from ever happening again. Germany was forced to pay for all the damage they had caused to other countries during the war and to give back all the land they had conquered. Russian citizens were finally pushed to revolt against their czar, causing the Russian Revolution and eventually switching to a communist government.
There were many influential people in World War I. The Red Baron was a German Flying Ace who had more kills than any other fighter pilot in the war. He was eventually shot down by an Australian infantryman. Anastasia was the daughter of Czar Nicholas Romanov of Russia. She had 3 older sisters and one younger brother. When the Russian citizens revolted, they captured the entire royal family and killed them.

The war in Europe was fought on the ground. The soldiers had to live in trenches, or ditches, dug into the ground. The piece of land that Germany and France were fighting over was called “No Man’s Land.” There was a lot of disease, hunger and suffering. More people died than ever before in this war. This war was also the most expensive in history. One Christmas, the German and French soldiers called a truce, or temporary stop, to the war. They played soccer with each other all day.
World War I had many new technological advances. It was the first time bi- planes were used. These planes had machine guns and bombs. Blimps were also used to drop bombs. The Germans had perfected the U-boat, the very first version of the submarine. Poison gas was used and gas masks had to be invented. The British had a secret weapon – the tank. The tank was not very maneuverable and was often left abandoned. The British soldiers were called Tommies and since they were the first to use machine guns, these guns became known as Tommy Guns. World War I was also the first time political cartoons were used to promoted ideas. This is called propaganda.

World War IIAfter World War I, Germany was forced to pay for the damages they caused. Because of
that, Germany fell into a deep economic crisis. The country had very little money, so the government printed more. This made their money worthless around the world. Adolf Hitler was now in charge of the country and he formed the Nationalist Socialist Party, or Nazi Party. He withdrew Germany from the League of Nations and began invading countries across Europe. He began in Belgium and continued through Denmark, Holland (the Netherlands), Poland and France, declaring war along the way. Countries formed alliances again, just like they had in WWI. Germany now had an alliance with Italy and Japan – these countries were called the Axis Powers. The Allied Powers consisted of France, Great Britain, Russia, Canada, Australia and the US. The war was fought from 1939 – 1945. On December 7, 1941, “The Day of Infamy”, Japan bombed a US naval base in Pearl Harbor, Japan, forcing the US into the war. The war ended when Germany surrendered and the US dropped two atomic bombs on Japan, forcing a surrender. After the war, the United Nations was formed to again prevent another world war.
There were many influential people in World War II. Anne Frank is the most famous Jewish victim. She went into hiding with her family for 2 years before being sent to a concentration camp, where she died of typhus. Her diary told her story to the whole world. Oskar Schindler was a Nazi who had compassion on the Jews and set up his own concentration camp to save more than 1,200 Jews. Sadako was a Japanese girl who suffered from radiation poisoning after the A-bomb was dropped. She eventually died from the disease, but Japan has a monument for her in a local park. World leaders were also made famous during the war. Franklin D Roosevelt was the only US President to be elected three times. Winston Churchill was the Prime Minister of England. Hitler ruled Germany; Hirohito was the emperor of Japan; and Mussolini led Italy. General Eisenhower and General Patton led infamous attacks in Europe. General MacArthur became famous by uttering the words, “I shall return” to the Pacific and force Japan to retreat. The US employed Navajo Code Talkers in the war to speak in codes that the Germans never cracked. The Tuskegee Airmen were a unit of military pilots comprised entirely of African American men.
Twentieth Century Wars and Conflicts Level 6 NV 54Washoe County School District - Project G.L.A.D (06/06 JB)
World War II was fought in the air, on the land, and at sea. There were many famous battles, including The Battle of the Bulge, The Battle in the Atlantic, The D-Day invasion, and the capture of Iwo Jima (a Japanese held island in the Pacific). The victory of Iwo Jima is captured in a monument in Washington, D.C., where a statue shows US Marines lifting a flag to signify the land’s occupation by the US. Soldiers’ letters home had to be censored, or read for security reasons. If any information was written in the letters, the US military blacked out the important lines. The slogan, “Loose lips sink ships” became famous. Another interesting fact is the painted designs on the battleships. With German submarines all around, battleships had to camouflage themselves in the water. The boats were painted in dazzling designs of pinwheels, checkerboard, stripes and wavy lines. Black, white, yellow and red paint was used to confuse the German soldiers looking out of the submarine’s periscopes.
World War II had many new technological advances. Planes had advanced to fighters and bombers. A bomber could hold up to 16 people, all with different jobs. German U-boats were perfected and the term submarine was used to describe them. Penicillin, an antibiotic, was invented and used to help soldiers fight infection during battles. The atomic bomb (nuclear bomb or A-bomb) was used for the first time, after a suggestion to the President by Albert Einstein. The first bomb was dropped on Hiroshima in Aug of 1945 and was called Little Boy. The second bomb was dropped on Nagasaki 3 days later and was called Fat Man.

Vietnam
After WWII, Vietnam fought for their independence from France. Their leader, Ho Chi Minh, actually studied communism in France and led Vietnam to a victory. After the victory, Vietnam was divided. Some people wanted a communist government and others wanted a democratically elected government. The country agreed to split into two territories, North Vietnam and South Vietnam. North Vietnam was a communist territory and ruled by Ho Chi Minh. South Vietnam opposed communism and were led by Ngo Dinh Diem (No Din Yee-Em). A country wide election was to be held, joining the country under one chosen government. However, Ngo Dinh Diem was afraid of Ho Chi Minh’s popularity and never allowed the election. North Vietnam, called the Democratic Republic of Vietnam began invading South Vietnam. They had loyal supporters in the south, called the Viet Cong. The US did not get involved at first, but sent support to South Vietnam, called the Republic of Vietnam, to prevent the Domino Effect of Communism from spreading. The US only sent troops to train and help the South Vietnamese Army. These troops were called the Green Berets and it was the first time this Marine unit of special forces was used. After an attack on US ships in the Tonkin Gulf, US troops were sent to help fight in Vietnam. After several peace talks in Paris, France, the US President, Lyndon B. Johnson signed a peace treaty in 1973 and pulled the US forces out of Vietnam to let South Vietnam fight for themselves. The war ended in 1975, when North Vietnam took control over the whole country, and switched to communist government.
There were many influential people during the Vietnam War. The “Hawks” were US supporters of the Vietnam war. A group called the “Doves” opposed the war. These groups were engaged in several protests in the US. Our President during the war, Lyndon B. Johnson, became so unpopular that he decided not to run for re-election. Our President when the war ended was Richard Nixon. Jane Fonda was an actress who visited Vietnam and made many enemies when she refused to help the US soldiers she saw in prison camps and openly supported Ho Chi Minh.

The war in Vietnam was fought in the jungle and in swamps. It was new ground for US soldiers who were not used to the heat or the insects (including leeches). Back home, it was the first time since the Civil War that our country was so divided. The Peace Symbol became very popular and the largest protest ever held occurred in 1969 when 800,000 people marched peacefully to Washington, D.C. It was also the only time that the US army fired upon protestors. During one protest at a college campus, four young men were shot and killed by US guards for protesting against the war. When the war was finally over, the soldiers did not come home to a hero’s welcome. Most of them were forgotten or spit on upon their return. Not until 1982 was a memorial, a large black wall with all the names of the dead or missing, erected.
The new technological advances of Vietnam included Agent Orange. It was a chemical spray that killed the flora so it was easier to find the enemy. However, this chemical was very harmful to soldiers – only they didn’t know it until much later after the war was over. Vietnam was also the first war to be filmed and televised across the nation as it occurred.

Korea
After WWII, Communism grew in Asia. China and Russia were giant communist countries that influenced many of the smaller, Asian nations. This communist influence by larger countries was called The Domino Theory. The country of Korea was split into two territories, with North Korea wanting to become communist and South Korea wanting to be a nationalist country. The country split at the 38th parallel. In 1950, North Korea fired on South Korea troops, beginning a civil war in that country. Russia and China immediately sided with the communist North Koreans, while the US sent money and equipment to help South Korea. The US eventually sent troops to fight for South Korea. The war lasted for 3 years, until a ceasefire was declared in 1953. No official peace treaty was signed and there was no resolution. Both territories decided to recognize each other as separate countries.
The important people of the Korean war included the US Presidents, Harry Truman and Dwight Eisenhower (who was a general in charge of D-Day in WWII), and US general Douglas MacArthur, who was later fired and removed from command by President Truman. Kim Sung was the leader of North Korea and Syngman Rhee was the President of South Korea.
Twentieth Century Wars and Conflicts Level 6 NV 58Washoe County School District - Project G.L.A.D (06/06 JB)
The Korean was was fought in the jungles of Korea. The most famous battle was the Battle of Heartbreak Ridge, which took approximately 3,700 American and French lives and over 25,000 North Korean and Chinese lives.“Operation Big Switch” was a deal between the US and North Korea to exchange prisoners of war. However, when the US prisoners were released from their Korean prisons, over 2,000 of them refused to return home to the US and wanted instead to stay in North Korea and China.
New technology in the Korean war included several new aerial war planes and helicopters. The most famous are the MiG15 fighter jets, the F-86 Sabre Cats, and armed helicopters. The fighter jets were able to travel at supersonic speeds. The G-suit was also invented to prevent pilots from getting sick during anti-gravity flights. Napalm was also invented as a product of chemical warfare. It was an acidic poison that burned through clothes and skin and was sprayed as bombs containing it exploded. It was a jelly-like substance that suck to whatever it first came into contact with.
