The civil war began because of disagreements between the slaves states and free states after Abraham Lincoln became president in 1860 and he wanted a stronger federal government (not state) and was against slavery

Therefore the southern states didn't want to be a part of the states anymore because they were worried that they would have to outlaw slavery in all states because slaverly was outlawed in the north and they were also concerned that they would lose state power as the US expanded

However the Northern states wanted to stay one country and of course wanted slavery banned

The actual fighting began at Fort Sumter in South Carolina on April 12, 1861 and didnt end until May 9, 1865

It started because Lincoln had won the 1860 election on a ticket of no new slave-states, so the South was doomed to be outvoted in Congress, which would pass laws that favoured the North at the expense of the South. So most of the slave-states broke away to form the Confederate States of America.

As for when it started, there was no actual declaration of war. The Confederacy could claim that it didn't want a war at all; it just wanted to defend its borders. Lincoln could not declare war on the Confederacy, because Congress did not recognise it as a sovereign nation.

The first shots were fired by the Confederates at the US Army garrison on the island of Fort Sumter in Charleston harbour on April 12th 1861, and Lincoln called for volunteer troops. The war was on.

The role of the U.S. in the Korean Conflict _____. was unwarranted spurred the establishment of the Communist regime only lasted
puteri [66]

Answer:

supported a non-communist government

Explanation:

The involvement of the USA in the Korean conflict was because of two reasons, one being to stop the communist spreading and influence, the other was to gain control over this very important strategic peninsula.

In order to not allow the communism to take over the peninsula, the USA got involved military, supporting the non-communist government from the South, fighting against the Soviet and Chinese supported communist North. Since non of the big forces managed to win, the Korean Peninsula was divided into spheres of interest, with North Korea being the communist one, and the South Korea being the capitalist one, thus dividing the same people in two different countries that developed deep hatred between each other.

Give an Who, what, when, where, why, how summary of the Korean War
Fittoniya [83]

Answer: World War II divided Korea into a Communist, northern half and an American-occupied southern half, divided at the 38th parallel. The Korean War (1950-1953) began when the North Korean Communist army crossed the 38th Parallel and invaded non-Communist South Korea. As Kim Il-sung's North Korean army, armed with Soviet tanks, quickly overran South Korea, the United States came to South Korea's aid. General Douglas MacArthur, who had been overseeing the post-WWII occupation of Japan, commanded the US forces which now began to hold off the North Koreans at Pusan, at the southernmost tip of Korea. Although Korea was not strategically essential to the United States, the political environment at this stage of the Cold War was such that policymakers did not want to appear "soft on Communism." Nominally, the US intervened as part of a "police action" run by a UN (United Nations) international peace- keeping force; in actuality, the UN was simply being manipulated by US and NATO anti-Communist interests.

One of Roosevelt's most controversial decisions involved his effort to achieve a third term in office as candidate for the Progr
Vesna [10]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Former President Theodore Roosevelt's decision to participate influenced the election and the Progressive Party in that another serious contender participated in the disputed election of 1912. US citizens had a pull of four candidates that polarized the election in which the winner was Democratic candidate Woodrow Wilson.

Elected candidate Woodrow Wilson ended up with 435 electoral votes and 6,293,454 popular votes. Former US President Theodore Roosevelt finished in second place with 88 electoral votes and 4,119,207 popular votes.

One reason for this result was the fact that the Republicans faced a serious internal division in the party when Republicans decided that William Taft was going to be its candidate. That is why Roosevelt decided to compete for the Progressive party, taking with him many members and votes that formerly belonged to the Republican party.
