The Cold War: Nuclear Arms Race
The Korean War, which lasted from 1950 to 1953, was a significant conflict during the Cold War. It was fought between North Korea, supported by China and the Soviet Union, and South Korea, supported by the United States and its allies. The war was seen as a test of the United States' policy of containment, which aimed to prevent the spread of communism.
The Korean War is also significant because it was seen as an example of the domino theory. The domino theory was a foreign policy concept that argued that if one country fell to communism, then neighboring countries would also fall, like a row of dominos. This theory was used to justify US involvement in the Korean War and later conflicts such as the Vietnam War.
The Korean War was an intense and brutal conflict, with significant loss of life on both sides. The war ended in a stalemate, with the creation of a demilitarized zone that still exists today. The conflict had long-lasting effects on the Korean peninsula and played a significant role in the Cold War.
