What was a major outcome of the Korean War (1950-1953)? Control of Korea was turned over to the United Nations. Korea continued to be a divided nation. North Korea became an ally of the United States.

The war began on 25 June 1950 when North Korea invaded South Korea following clashes along the border and insurrections in the south. The war ended unofficially on 27 July 1953 in an armistice.

On July 27, 1953, North Korea, China, and the United States signed an armistice agreement. South Korea, however, objected to the continued division of Korea and did not agree to the armistice or sign a formal peace treaty. So while the fighting ended, technically the war never did.

April 22, 1951: All-out Communist offensive fails to retake Seoul. May 15, 1951: Another Communist offensive, again fails to take territory. May 18, 1951: Ridgway launches counteroffensive. May 18, 1951: UN nations start military goods boycott of the People Republic of China.

The Korean War (1950-1953) began when the North Korean Communist army crossed the 38th Parallel and invaded non-Communist South Korea. As Kim Il-sung’s North Korean army, armed with Soviet tanks, quickly overran South Korea, the United States came to South Korea’s aid.

Today, historians generally agree on several main causes of the Korean War, including: the spread of communism during the Cold War, American containment, and Japanese occupation of Korea during World War II.

America wanted not just to contain communism – they also wanted to prevent the domino effect. The United States believed it could win and believed that China would not intervene. They also hoped to take advantage of the USSR’s boycott of the UN to get the UN to agree to military help for South Korea.

Long Term effect: The people on either sides couldn’t go pass the wall. Families were torn because of the wall and the people guarding it. Even now families are on different sides and still thinking of the rest of them. North Korea became isolated from the world, people in North Korea are had barely freedom.

Deadliest Battles In Human History

• Operation Barbarossa, 1941 (1.4 million casualties)
• Taking of Berlin, 1945 (1.3 million casualties)
• Ichi-Go, 1944 (1.3 million casualties)
• Stalingrad, 1942-1943 (1.25 million casualties)
• The Somme, 1916 (1.12 million casualties)
• Siege of Leningrad, 1941-1944 (1.12 million casualties)

180,000 to 900,000: The wide-ranging estimation of the number of Chinese casualties during the Korean War. Fought between 1950-1953, the Korean War is often forgotten in American discourse, overshadowed by World War II and the Vietnam War.

The Chinese-backed North Koreans held Seoul for a time, but ultimately fought to a stalemate resulting in the 1953 armistice. Despite the lack of a clear victory, China’s contribution to the war remains a point of pride for many veterans.

In some of the fiercest fighting of the Korean War, thousands of communist Chinese troops launch massive counterattacks against U.S. and Republic of Korea (ROK) troops, driving the Allied forces before them and putting an end to any thoughts for a quick or conclusive U.S. victory.

Sino-Vietnamese War

The bilateral relations between the People’s Republic of China and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam (Chinese: 中越关系, Vietnamese: Quan hệ Trung Quốc–Việt Nam) have been largely hostile, despite their common Sinospheric and socialist background.

Names of Vietnam

The most common are Le, Pham, Tran, Ngo, Vu, Do, Dao, Duong, Dang, Dinh, Hoang and Nguyen – the Vietnamese equivalent of Smith. About 50 percent of Vietnamese have the family name Nguyen. The given name, which appears last, is the name used to address someone, preceded by the appropriate title.

Vietnam

Vietnam, a one-party Communist state, has one of south-east Asia’s fastest-growing economies and has set its sights on becoming a developed nation by 2020. It became a unified country once more in 1975 when the armed forces of the Communist north seized the south.

In Vietnam, about three-quarters of Vietnamese live in country areas, villages, and towns and people have to work very hard for their living. Most families grow rice or fruit trees, others raise livestock. Daily life in the country is often hard. Many families live in small apartments or government housing.

Vietnam’s early history is dominated by China, which tended to regard its southern neighbour as a province – albeit a somewhat unruly one. In 111 BC the Han Dynasty formally annexed what was then called Nam Viet – and the country remained part of China for a thousand years.

Vietnam has also made a remarkable recovery in world affairs. Indeed, since the end of the American war in 1975, the landmines, shells, and bombs that continue to litter the nation’s soil have wounded or killed over 105,000 Vietnamese — many of them children.

Current Status of Unaccounted-for Americans Lost in the Vietnam War

Failures for the USA Failure of Operation Rolling Thunder: The bombing campaign failed because the bombs often fell into empty jungle, missing their Vietcong targets. Lack of support back home: As the war dragged on more and more Americans began to oppose the war in Vietnam.
