Loessin; Akins H.S.

  3. CH 33: Section 3 – “Setting the Stage” Text p. 866; Packet p. 6 January, 1950: The U. S. Secretary of State spoke at the National Press club and listed Asian countries the United States would defend with military force. Surprisingly, South Korea was not on the list. In fact, the United States had by now recalled its military from South Korea, leaving only 472 officers and men to work with the ROK (South Korean army) who were provided light weapons to defend themselves. Aware of this, Kim Il Sungof North Korea decided he had a perfect opportunity to now unite all of Korea by force. Stalin,of the Communist U.S.S.R., and Mao,of Communist China, agreed. U.S.S.R. T. Loessin; Akins H.S.

  4. CH 33: Section 3 – “Standoff at the 38th Parallel” Text p. 866; Packet p. 6 KIM IL SUNGThe Soviet Union chose this former guerrilla fighter to be the leader of the northern part of Korea. In 1949, he became chairman of the Communist Korean Workers' Party. In 1950, he decides to invade South Korea and attempt unification. JOSEPH STALINDictator of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (Soviet Union) from 1929 until 1953 when he died after a brain hemorrhage. Stalin, whose troops still occupied northern Korea after World War II, supported Sung’s Communist North Korean forces invading South Korea. HARRY TRUMANPresident of the United States from 1945 until 1953. He viewed Stalin and Sung’s aggressive actions in South Korea as repeating what Hitler, Mussolini and Japan had done in the 1930s and believed his policy of “containment” was being put to the test. T. Loessin; Akins H.S.

  5. War in Korea “Invasion” June-September 1950 1. Why did the UN send an international force to Korea? June 25, 1950, pre-dawn hours:North Korea sent an invasion force across the 38th parallel into South Korea. Northern forces rapidly advanced southward against the ill-equipped defenders, taking the Southern capital Seoul three days after the invasion began. The United Nations condemns North Korea's attack. The Soviet Union, Pyongyang's mentor, was boycotting the U.N. Security Council at the time -- and was thus unable to veto the council's condemnation. After a formal request made by South Korea, the new U.N. authorized an international force to help defend South Korea. T. Loessin; Akins H.S.

  6. War in Korea “Invasion” June-September 1950 June 25, 1950 The first Secretary-General of the new United Nations Trygve Lie addressed North Korea’s actions in this way, "This is war against the UnitedNations." June 27, 1950U. S. President Harry S. Truman orders the Navy and Air Force to help South Korea and deploys the 7th Fleet to waters off Taiwan to “contain” the spread of the conflict to other Far East waters. T. Loessin; Akins H.S.

  7. President Truman in the Cabinet Room of the White House soon after the decision was made to go to war in Korea. Below: Truman then met with Douglas MacArthur – the American general who led U.N. forces in the Korean war – on Wake Island to discuss the “police action” in Korea. T. Loessin; Akins H.S.

  8. War in Korea “Invasion” June-September 1950 The United States led the U.N. force in the so-called "police action" against North Korea. Four U.S. divisions, rushed to the Korean peninsula to stop the Northern attack, could do little against a superior force. The U.N. forces were soon forced back to a perimeter around the southern port city of Pusan by early August. T. Loessin; Akins H.S.

  9. A soldier comforts a grief-stricken American infantryman whose buddy was killed in action near Haktong-ni, Korea, in 1950. In the background, a corpsman methodically fills out casualty tags. T. Loessin; Akins H.S.

  10. War in Korea COUNTER-ATTACK September-October 1950 U.N. forces, under the command of U.S. Gen. Douglas MacArthur, landed at the port of Inchon near Seoul on September 15, 1950. The landing cut off much of the North Korean army, which was attempting to force a way into the Pusan Perimeter. U.N. forces, breaking out from Pusan and coming south from Inchon, were able to overwhelm the Northern troops in South Korea. Seoul was taken by U.N. forces on September 26. T. Loessin; Akins H.S.

  11. War in Korea COUNTER-ATTACK September-October 1950 U.N. forces moved north of the 38th parallel, captured the Northern capital Pyongyang on October 19. Despitewarnings from Chinathat it would not accept the presence of U.N. troops in North Korea, MacArthur continued to move his forces northward -- with the announced intention of unifying the Korean peninsula. Some U.N. forces reached the Yalu River -- the border between North Korea and China -- on October 25. T. Loessin; Akins H.S.

  12. War in Korea CHINESE ADVANCE October 1950-January 1951 In late October 1950, while China was issuing its warnings, a large Chinese force had already entered North Korea. U.N. forces began encountering Chinese troops at that time. On November 24, MacArthur announced what he believed would be the final offensive of the war, which he said would "restore peace and unity to Korea." China’s leader Mao T. Loessin; Akins H.S.

  13. War in Korea CHINESE ADVANCE October 1950-January 1951 The next day, a Chinese force estimated at between 130,000 and 300,000 attacked the U.N. forces -- quickly pushing them southward in a disorderly retreat. The U.N. abandoned Pyongyang on December 4. Some 20,000 U.S. Marines and Army infantry fought their way out of a Chinese encirclement at the Changjin Reservoir. The U.S. Navy evacuated tens of thousands of refugees and U.N. personnel from the ports of Hungnam and Wonsan. T. Loessin; Akins H.S.

  14. War in Korea CHINESE ADVANCE October 1950-January 1951 Communist forces invaded South Korea for the second time in the war on December 31, 1950. Seoul was recaptured on January 4, 1951. U.N. forces stopped the Chinese-North Korean advance about 30 miles south of Seoul and began a counteroffensive by month's end. T. Loessin; Akins H.S.

  15. War in Korea ARMISTICE January 1951-July 1953 In April, MacArthur -- who had openly disagreed with President Truman over how to conduct the war and publicly suggested the U.S. should use the atomic bomb on North Korea or China -- was relieved of his command. MacArthur's career came to a close during the Korean War, but as recognition of his status as one of the nation's greatest living military leaders, Congress asked him to address a joint session. MacArthur closed his speech with a famous line from an old army ballad: "Old soldiers never die, they just fade away." T. Loessin; Akins H.S.

  16. War in Korea ARMISTICE January 1951-July 1953 U.N. forces reoccupied Seoul in March 1951. From there they were able to advance slightly north of the 38th parallel. T. Loessin; Akins H.S.

  18. War in Korea ARMISTICE January 1951-July 1953 Truce talks began on July 10, 1951. By that time,the war had become static -- with neither side making any real advances. Disagreement over several issues, including the exchange of prisoners, delayed the signing of an armistice for another two years. T. Loessin; Akins H.S.

  19. War in Korea ARMISTICE January 1951-July 1953 By the time the armistice was signed in 1953, U.N. casualties were estimated at more than 550,000 -- while North Korean and Chinese casualties were believed to be around 1.5 million. As part of the cease-fire, both sides agreed to withdraw 2 kilometers along the final battleground and establish a demilitarized zone along the armistice line -- a zone that still exists today. T. Loessin; Akins H.S.

  20. _____ War in Korea ARMISTICE January 1951-July 1953 In other words, 2 million casualties later, and the two nations remained divided along the 38th parallel… where they had been when the conflict began 5 years earlier! The Korean War Memorial, Washington, D.C. T. Loessin; Akins H.S.

  21. 2. What was the legacy of the war for North & South Korea? North Korea became a military power but would decline economically and even today suffers grave economic difficulties. After decades of mismanagement, the North relies heavily on international food aid to feed its population while continuing to expend resources to maintain an army of about 1 million. North Korea's long-range missile development and research into nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons and massive conventional armed forces are of major concern to the international community. KIM Il-song died in 1994 and his son, Kim Jong Il, the current leader of North Korea, succeeded him. In December 2002, Kim Jong Il repudiated a 1994 agreement that shut down Korea’s nuclear reactors and expelled UN monitors, further raising fears it would produce nuclear weapons. CURRENT EVENTS - 2005 Yesterday, North Korea announced it had successfully finished unloading 8,000 spent fuel rods from a nuclear plant. Spent fuel rods removed from such reactors can be enriched into weapons-grade plutonium. The United States officially condemned the announcement. T. Loessin; Akins H.S.

  22. 2. What was the legacy of the war for North & South Korea? North Korea became a military power but would decline economically and even today suffers grave economic difficulties.
