Communism

Korea & Vietnam
SS7H3e
End of WWII• The United States, Soviet Union, and Great
Britain made an agreement on how they would put the world back together after World War II.
• Each country was supposed to temporarily occupy the lands that were impacted by the war.
• They would work to restore order and free elections would be held so that they people could decide on their future government.
© 2015 Brain Wrinkles
Soviet Union• Once peace was declared, the Soviet Union
found itself reluctant to leave its occupied countries.
• The Soviet Union worked hard to be sure that the new governments were communist.
• It eventually began to take over Eastern European and Asian countries by force in order to spread this form of government.

United States• The United States was furious and saw this as
breaking the promises made after WWII.
• The US offered aid to the countries threatened by the Soviets so that they could protect their individual rights.
• The US and the Soviet Union found themselves engaged in a Cold War, where they competed to become the dominating world power.
© 2015 Brain Wrinkles
Post-WWII Korea• One place where this struggle was seen was on the
Korean peninsula.
• After World War II, Japanese-occupied Korea was temporarily divided into northern and southern parts.
• The Soviet Union controlled Korea north of the 38th parallel and established a communist government.
• The United States would be in charge of Korea south of the 38th parallel and promoted a democratic system.
© 2015 Brain Wrinkles
Korean War• In 1950, Kim Il Sung, the leader of North Korea, sent
his powerful army to invade South Korea.
• The US had to take a stand against Communist aggression and was willing to go to war to keep communism from spreading to this area.
• US President Truman ordered American naval and air forces to support Korean ground troops, and asked the United Nations to approve the use of force to stop the North Korean invasion.

Korean War• The United Nations responded quickly, imposing
military sanctions. The U.S. and 19 other nations committed troops to the area.
• The UN force, commanded by American General Douglas MacArthur, forced Korean soldiers out of South Korea and farther north to the Chinese border.
• Despite initial heavy losses, the combined UN forces finally began to win.
© 2015 Brain Wrinkles
Korean War• Going beyond the 38th parallel into North Korea
brought communist China’s well-trained and well-equipped army into the war.
• The Communist Chinese attacked, forcing the UN soldiers to retreat.
• When the fighting finally ended in 1953, no one was truly victorious (stalemate).
• The 38th parallel dividing line remained intact between the two countries.

Korea Today• The Korean peninsula was badly damaged,
and many lives were lost.
• South Korea remained “free”, so containment of communism had worked.
• Today, South Korea has free elections and a democratic constitution.
• North Korea remains a communist country under the autocratic rule of Premiere Kim Jong-Il.
© 2015 Brain Wrinkles
Vietnam• Vietnam was also caught in the fight to
contain communism.
• The country was divided into two parts in 1954.
• Ho Chi Minh’s communists led North Vietnam, while the United States provided military support to keep South Vietnam from falling to the Communists.
• The United States did not want any new communist countries formed in Southeast Asia.© 2015 Brain Wrinkles
Ho Chi Minh Leader of North Vietnam

Vietnam War• In 1965, the US became involved in the
Vietnam War when it began bombing North Vietnam.
• Billions of dollars were spent and thousands of lives were lost fighting in Vietnam to prevent the country from becoming communist.
• Many Americans protested US involvement, and in 1973, US troops were withdrawn.
• The Vietnam War ended in a cease-fire.© 2015 Brain Wrinkles

Vietnam Today• In 1975, North Vietnam took over South
Vietnam for good and the country was reunited as one.
• The People’s Republic of Vietnam was declared a communist country.
© 2015 Brain Wrinkles
Democracy• In order to protect democracy and citizens’
individual freedoms and rights, the US intervened in both Korea and Vietnam to fight against communism.
• Today, South Korea has a democratic republic similar to that of the US, while Vietnam is a communist nation.
• Although there are still a few communist countries left in the world today, the US successfully contained the spread of communism.
