Causes and consequences of the Korean war

In this new video from Unprofesor we will explain "Causes and consequences of the Korean war".

Causes and consequences of the Korean War. We start by positioning ourselves. We have finished World War II (1945) victory for the allies and the Korean peninsula (former Japanese possession) is divided between the South for the United States and the North for the URRS. That is, North Korea is pro-communist and Pro-capitalist South Korea. Thus, in 1945 the war between the two koreas broke out as North Korea wanted to invade South Korea. Why? What were the causes of this war? We started! The first is an ideological dispute. That is, North Korea belonged to the communist sphere (supported by the URRS) and South Korea belonged to the capitalist sphere supported by the United States. In other words, there was a lot of tension between them since the communist bloc was in constant tension with the capitalist bloc. North vs South rivalry is closely linked to what I have told you.

North Korea with Kim il-sung

At the head he belonged to the communist sphere and he wanted the entire Korean peninsula to belong to that sphere. communist. That is why they decide to invade the South. Unification of the peninsula. North Korea intended to invade the South to unify all korea in one under the umbrella of communism. The fourth cause is the cascade effect. It means that; USA feared that if North Korea were to win the war and unify the entire Korean peninsula under a communist mandate, this would cause that, surrounding nations could also fall under the mantle of the communism. That could not be allowed by the United States and for that reason it entered the war. Let us now see the consequences of this war.
