Well to begin with it wasn't a War it was considered a Police action. The United States was just one of many nations belonging to the U.N. that sent troops to protect the south Koreans from falling under communist rule being imposed on them by the Russian supported North Koreans. communist China also entered the conflict as allies to North Korea. The U.S.\nled United Nation forces fought the communist onslaught to a stalemate after three years which was enough to bring North Korea to the Peace Talks and reach an agreement for a ceasefire. there was no end to the conflict right now there is a large number of U.S. Soldiers keeping watch over a stretch of land called the DMZ [demilitarized zone] that separates the north from the south. The North Koreans have their own soldiers standing guard watching over the DMZ. Because it was just a ceasefire agreement and not a declaration to end hostilities a shooting war could break out again at any time.

What is your question? I read this book, but I don't know what you are actually asking. Can you add the details? (it's about a family living in midwest America during the Korean war, and there is a family of migrants living on the property that become involved with them) Very good book, of course!

The central theme among the three events is the Cold War, and the competition with the Soviet Union.\n\nThe Korean War occured when North Korean invaded South Korea in June, 1950. The United States was able to quickly push back the North Koreans, but this action forced the Chinese into the war, and it became a stalemate for almost three years.  This was one of the first early tests of the containment of Communism.\n\nThe space race was a competition with the Russians, which the USSR seemed to be winning when it put the first satellite in orbit in 1957, and also put the first man in orbit, Yuri Gagarin. It led to Kennedy calling for a mission to the moon.\n\nThe Vietnam War was something we inherited from the France in 1954. The driving theory behind Vietnam was the "Domino theory" that if Vietnam fell, the rest of SE Asia would soon turn Communist as well. Like Korea, China played a more important role in Vietnam than the USSR did, but both did supply the North Vietnamese.

President Truman fired General Douglas MacArthur for insubordination during the Korean Conflict.  \n\nThe General wished to wage all-out war against the North Korean/communist forces.  President Truman was unable and unwilling to support and authorize such a tactic.  He, therefore, terminated General MacArthur's command of the US forces in Korea.

Korean War - UN sanctioned, because morons in USSR were boycotting the UN at the time.\n\nWorld War I - Where Britain entered the war because of treaty obligations to defend Belgium.

There are several songs, the main one you heard is probably "Dae~Han-Min-Kook", which is the Korean name for the Republic of Korea. The other main songs they sung are "Oh, Pilsung Korea" (which means 'Certain Victory') and Arirang (a national Korean song), also one to the tune of Beethoven's Ode To Joy, and on occasions, the Korean national anthem. I was at the game in Leipzig so hopefully covered most of them.

The war in Korea. Today 50 years later Korea is still a country divided and the Communist North is the largest threat to nuclear war in the world today.\nThe war in Vietnam. Before the war only North Vietnam was Communist. Today 40 years later all of Vietnam is under Communist rule.\n(For those that say these were not wars but only police actions, tell that to the tens of thousands of troops that died there)\nAlthough you didn't ask the next war the USA will lose is the war in Iraq.

Because although the militaries signed an armistice, the governments never concluded the war.  Technically, both north Korea and south Korea are still at war.
