 * 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 ...**

 * 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! ****At least 2 of the facts should be about the CAUSES of the war, at least 3 of the facts should be about the WAR itself, and at least 2 facts should be about the EFFECTS OR IMPACT of the war. ****<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> The other two can be from any category. ** //<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">United Nations into a peacekeeping effort in Asia. //<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> (ooooh, that's good - so good)

 * <span style="color: black; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">My 9 Facts: **
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">In 1947, the United Nations was asked, by the United States, to <span style="color: #121917; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">organize unification through national elections.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Soviet Russia would not let there be elections in their half so they were never unified.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">The United States withdrawal of troops in 1949 made civil war seem like it was coming in the future.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">In June of 1950, the Soviet controlled North Korea invaded South Korea.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Since South Korea was not military based, they had a hard time defending themselves.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">The harshest parts of the battle took a year with fighting from the US and other countries the United Nations provided.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Two years lasted before the war was finally ended with an armistice, but for Koreans the war still doesn’t seem like it has ended yet. Nothing ever went back to normal.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">The United Nations became an international arbiter because of this war.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">The United States was also able to confront their problem with Russia from the battlefield.


 * <span style="color: red; font-family: 'Arial Black',sans-serif; font-size: 19.5pt;">3 ****<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> - Photos should help tell the story of the war, so find ****<span style="color: red; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">three photos ****<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">that work ... and provide a descriptive caption, like the one on my example **<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">.

|| **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 10pt;">Like in WWII, a lot of the fighting in Korea was done in the sky as you can see in the picture. **

Insert** **<span style="color: red; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">two maps ****<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">that help tell the story of the causes, events, and/or impact of the map (with a caption for each) **

 * <span style="color: red; font-family: 'Arial Black',sans-serif; font-size: 19.5pt;">1 **<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> - **You know historical quotes can bring old crusty things to like, so find at least one decent quote that helps add to the content of the Korean War (and__provide some context for the quotes__). For example ...**

<span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">I've been arguing this for months. This is not our war. This is not a war we should be in. Australia's better spending its time negotiating with North Korea.
 * //<span style="color: red; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">"The attack upon Korea makes it plain beyond all doubt that Communism has passed beyond the use of subversion to conquer independent nations and will now use armed invasion and war." //** <span style="color: black; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">- President Harry S Truman in his speech describing the military involvement of the US in Korea, without a declaration of war from Congress.

Many US citizens did not want to be involved in the Korean war. They were tired of us getting involved.
