Answer:

By July of 1950, North Korean forces had pushed South Korean forces as far south as Pusan.

Explanation:

The Korean War began when North Korea invaded South Korea. The United Nations, with the United States as its main force, came to the aid of the South Koreans. China, in turn, intervened in favor of the north, with the Soviet Union providing them with logistical and political support.

Korea was ruled by Japan from 1910 until the end of World War II. In August 1945, the Soviets declared war on the Japanese as a result of an agreement with the United States and liberated the north of Parallel 38. US troops soon moved to occupy the southern part of the peninsula. In 1948, as a result of the outbreak of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, Korea was divided into two regions, with separate governments. Representatives of the southern (capitalist, American-influenced) and northern (communist, Soviet-influenced) states each claimed to be the legitimate government of Korea, and neither side accepted the borders of the time as permanent. The conflict escalated into a total open war when the North Koreans, bellied by the Soviets and the Chinese, invaded the south on June 25, 1950. At that time, the United Nations Security Council recognized this as an illegal invasion and demanded a ceasefire. On June 27, the UN Council adopted Resolution 83, condemning the invasion and dispatching a troop under the United Nations flag to restore peace in the Korean peninsula. About twenty-one countries committed military forces to the UN mission, with 88 percent of those soldiers actually being Americans.

After two months of war, it seemed that South Korea would be overwhelmed by the North Koreans. However, UN forces, mainly made up of US troops, detained the communists on the Pusan perimeter. In September 1950, the Allies launched a counteroffensive on Incheon and imposed a major setback on the North Korean army. Utilizing its military superiority and resources, the United States and its allies continued to force the North Koreans to retreat beyond their own borders, prompting China to take action by sending its armies across the Yalu River, officially entering in the war in favor of the north. This forced UN forces to back down.

The idea of Manifest Destiny arose in response to the prospect of U.S. annexation of Texas and to a dispute with Britain over the Oregon Country, which became part of the union. Manifest Destiny was the idea that white Americans were divinely ordained to settle the entire continent of North America. The ideology of Manifest Destiny inspired a variety of measures designed to remove or destroy the native population. Weeks has noted that three key themes were usually touched upon by advocates of manifest destiny: the virtue of the American people and their institutions; the mission to spread these institutions, thereby redeeming and remaking the world in the image of the United States; the destiny under God to do this work. Manifest Destiny increased goods and doubled the U.S.'s land area, services, and wealth. In addition to that, with the territorial expansion, more ports were opened along with Asia and Europe, and it was very beneficial to the country since it brought a lot of wealth to the country's economy.

How did the Dutch come to dominate trade in Southeast Asia

Sergio039 [100]

The first Dutch expedition arrived at the East Indies, a term which refers to the lands of South and Southeast Asia, in 1595 trying to access to spices directly from Asia. When the Dutch government recognized the potential of the East Indies trade had, with a 400% profit, and with the intention of dominating trade in Southeast Asia, they amalgamated the competing companies into the United East India Company, which was granted a contract to make trades across Asia, monopolizing initially the indigenous spices such as nutmeg, peppers, cloves and cinnamon and then the non-indigenous products like coffee, tea, cacao, tobacco, rubber, sugar and opium.

This Dutch hegemony reached their greatest extent in the early 20th century, becoming in one of the most valuable European enterprises under the Dutch Empire, which contributed to their global prominence.
