Korea+9+3+2+1


 * It's known as "The Forgotten War", but all Americans should learn about it and remember it ... and that's where you can help. You have been asked to develop a "Korea** 9 **3 2 1" webpage to cover the basic information everyone should know about the Korean War - all on one page. Your page should include ...**


 * 9** - facts about the causes, events, and impact of the Korean War (look at my examples below)
 * 3** - photos that help tell the story of the war, with descriptive captions
 * 2** - maps that help to explain the war.
 * 1** - quote that is essential to understanding the war, with authors and context

9 - **Come up with __9 great facts__ that everyone should know about "The Forgotten War", using the examples below as guides. I will have my own list that will use to compare to yours - hopefully you will ge most of the facts on my list!** // United Nations into a peacekeeping effort in Asia // //.// (ooooh, that's good - so good)
 * **A non example** ... //I like cheese//.
 * **A bad example** ... //There was a war in// //Korea// //in the 1950s//.
 * **A good example** ... //The Korean War began in July of 1950 when// // North Korea invaded South Korea // //.//
 * **A better example** ... //The 3 year long Korean War began in 1950 when communist// // North Korea invaded democratic and US supported South Korea, pulling the //


 * 1) After WWII, the Japanese were forced to leave Korea, and the Soviets supported a communist government North of the 38th parallel, and the US supported a non-communist government below the 38th parallel.
 * 2) When communist North Korea invaded democratic South Korea, the US asked the UN to help stop the communist forces in Korea. 13 nations supplied troops, but the US made up most of the democratic fighting force.
 * 3) North Korean forces almost completely push back South Korean soldier, nearly to the city of Pusan. UN forces then land at a port city called Inchon. The North Koreans are repelled back into their own country.
 * 4) General MacArthur orders soldiers to continue to push the North Koreans back. China warns the UN that if it continues to advance, it will join North Korea. UN keeps pushing north, and China steps in during 1951.
 * 5) The Chinese push back UN forces again below the 38th parallel.
 * 6) During 1952 and 1953, a stalemate starts to set in, as no side is winning or gaining any ground.
 * 7) In 1952, Dwight D. Eisenhower or Ike, campaigned to seek a speedy end to the war. He won in a landslide and carried on his promise.
 * 8) Ike talked with China and North Korea, and everybody agreed to stop the war with an armistice, or stop to the fighting. The armistice line was more or less where the previous border was.
 * 9) Americans were frustrated because the war seemed indecisive and sure it stopped communism, but at what price?


 * 3 - Photos should help tell the story of the war, so find three photos that work ... and provide a descriptive caption, like the one on my example**.
 * This photo is of UN soldiers fighting to take back the South Korean capital of Seoul. || [[image:korean_war_un_forces.jpg width="258" height="174"]] ||
 * Helicopters were first used in Korea, but they were new, and did not do much to alter the course of the war. || [[image:Korean_War_Helos.jpg width="383" height="218"]] ||
 * People in the US were upset at this costly but yet undecided war. || [[image:Korean_war_dead.jpg width="215" height="137"]] ||




 * 2 ** - **What's a war without maps? Insert two maps that help tell the story of the causes, events, and/or impact of the map (with a caption for each)**

This map shows the advances of each side in this stalemate of a war.

This map also shows the attacks and counter-attacks of the war.


 * 1 ** - **You know historical quotes can bring old crusty things to like, so find one decent quote that helps add to the content of the Korean War (and provide some context for the quotes).**
