The Korean War (NSSC Lecture)

AAfter World War I, the treaties Germany was forced to sign were one of the factors that led to World War II. And after World War II, the treaties Japan was forced to sign were one of the factors leading to the Korean War. Less than five years after American soldiers died in the Pacific marching toward Japan, American soldiers were dying on the Korean peninsula. What happened during those five years? How did the world stumble into a major armed conflict? And once the war (for in reality, it was not a 'police action') started, what new realities were quickly revealed? Join Gary Midkiff in examining this short, but bloody conflict.
