MAYBE WORLD REVOLUTION NOW THAT CHINA WAS COMMUNIST

JAPAN WAS AMERICA’S ALLIEBUT DON’T GET TOO EXCITED CUZ

WE’RE NOT SENDING TROOPS

MAO WILL ASK FOR STALIN’S HELP WITH TAIWAN SO IF HE SUPPORTS THE KOREAN WAR THEN SO WILL MAO

THE UN GOT INVOLVED BUT ACTUALLY, AMERICAN TROOPS REPRESENTED 80% OF ALL TROOPS, TANKS AND PLANES. THE SOVIET UNION DIDN’T VETO THE MOVE BECAUSE THEY WERE BOYCOTTING THE UN

CUZ WE WOULDN’T RECOGNIZE COMMUNIST CHINA AS PART OF THE SECURITY COUNCIL.

THE DOMINO EFFECT1. WE SEE IT AS STALIN AND MAO

2. THE UN REACTS AND 15 COUNTRIES SEND TROOP TO SOUTH KOREA. BUT, AMERICA STILL REPRESENTS 80% OF ALL MILITARY INVOLVEMENT

3. CHINA IS REMOVED FROM THE UN SECURITY COUNCIL AND STALIN BOYCOTTS THE VOTE AS A RESULT.

CONSEQUENCES OF THE KOREAN WAR

40% OF ALL CAUSALTIES WERE AMERICAN

WAS THE KOREAN WAR WORTH IT?

NCS-68 WAS PASSED AND WE RAISED OUR DEFENSE BUDGET 300%. IT NOW EQUALED 10 CENTS OF

EVERY DOLLAR SPENT. RUSSIA RESPONDS BY INCREASING THEIR ARMY

FROM 3 MILLION TO 5 MILLION!!!

WE BROUGHT GREECE AND TURKEY INTO NATO AND PUT MILITARY BASES IN TURKEY AND JAPAN

WE SWORE TO PROTECT TAIWAIN FROM CHINA. WE STILL DO TODAY!!!!

EVENTUALLY WE WILL GET INVOLVED IN ANY ASIAN PROBLEM, ESPECIALLY VIETNAM!!!! “DOMINO

EFFECT”

STALIN DIDN’T HELP MAO IN KOREA AND THIS PERMANENTLY DETERIORATED RUSSIA’S

RELATIONSHIP WITH COMMUNIST CHINA.
