The British economy was already weak after WW1, so when the US stock market crashed, taxes were put on foreign imports. The value of British exports were halved, and many areas went into poverty (unemployment more than doubled) so Britain devalued their pound in 1931, which made goods cheaper and improved their economy.
Signs point to North Korea unilaterally launching the invasion. It was not helpful for the USSR and was at a very bad time for the PRC since the war immediately shut down plans to invade Taiwan.
The U.S., especially after Chinese troops entered the war, viewed it as a united and aggressive communist bloc brashly taking over one more country and likely to try more if not resisted. US defense spending shot back up to wartime levels (though far from the WWII peak) and stayed there.
China also viewed it as a feeler for aggression that would go further if not resisted. Both countries were overinterpreting local issues as global ones.
The dramatic reverses were all in the first year, followed by two years of stalemate before the armistice.
The sources of weakness during Herbert Hoover's presidency was the investigators speculating in an unregulated stock market.
Explanation:
Herbert Hoover was the US president during the Great Depression. Even though the blame of Great Depression cannot be put on his policies, his strategies adopted to tackle Great depression failed pathetically. He believed that businesses deciding to not cut down the wages of workers would stop consumption rates from falling down and stabilize the economy.
But this did not happen. Businesses did not cut down wages but they reduced the number of employees to sustain in the falling economic environment. Hoover tried to convince people that there was nothing seriously wrong and when the economy stabilizes stock prices would rise, unemployment would be alleviated and good times would come.
But the optimism did not help the economy and the investors speculating in an unregulated stock market was one of the sources of weakness during Herbert hoover's presidency.
