AMERICA STUNNED
The American public was shocked that China had fallen to the Communists
Many believed containment had failed and communism was expanding
American fear of communism and communist expansion was increasing

Domino Theory
Belief that if one country fell to communism, many others would follow; therefore, it was crucial for the U.S. to contain Communism.

In June 1950, following the withdrawal of the Soviet and U.S. troops, communist North Korea, supported by the People’s Republic of China (PRC) with aid from the Soviet Union, invaded South Korea, supported by the United Nations.

Korean War
Public sentiment on American involvement differed greatly; some felt the United States should not be
involved in the war and others felt that the United States should
intervene in a decisive way to bring an end to the conflict and to contain the expansion of communism.

Stalemate:End of the Fighting
A 2.5 miles wide "demilitarized zone" was in fact heavily fortified.
As of 2011, more than 1 million soldiers confronted each other along the zone.
With no peace treaty signed, the two Koreas remain technically still at war.
![Page 21: The Korean War 1950-1953 Presentation by Mr. Hataway Created January 29, 2003 Revised February 23, 2005 Revised March 3, 2011](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110205/56649ca85503460f9496a914/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
For most of its length along the 38th parallel, the DMZ is about 4 km (2.5 mi) wide and heavily fortified with barbed-wire fences, concealed mines, and border troops. At Panmunjeom (P’anmunjŏm), the official diplomatic headquarters at the DMZ, North Korean guards, in brown, face their South Korean counterparts, in blue.
The demilitarized zone (DMZ) was created as a buffer zone between North Korea and South Korea as part of a 1953 armistice agreement that brought an end to fighting in the Korean War.

Effects of the Korean War Four million Koreans died throughout the
peninsula, two-thirds of them civilians. China lost up to 1 million soldiers. The United States suffered 36,576 dead and
103,284 wounded. Other UN nations suffered 3322 dead and
11,949 wounded. The Korean War was responsible for
bringing about rearmament, hiking the U.S. military budget, and increasing fears of Communist aggression abroad and at home.

Discussion Question
Why did Truman refuse MacArthur’s demands to expand the war into China?– Truman did not want to expand the war
into China or use the atomic bomb.– Truman remained committed to a
limited war to contain communism.
