Question

What was one effect of the stalemate in the Korean War within the United States?

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is: Dwight D. Eisenhower won the presidential election.

Explanation:

When he became the U.S. President, Dwight D. Eisenhower went to Korea in order to find a solution to end the Korean War. We could even say that thanks to the Korean War, Eisenhower was elected the new U.S. president.  

During his presidential campaign, President Truman, challenged Eisenhower to find an adequate solution for the Korean War. Eisenhower said that if he were the president, he would personally go to Korea to terminate the war. This statement raised his popularity and helped him to become the U.S. president.

Shortly after the elections, Eisenhower fulfilled his promise and went to Korea. When he returned to the U.S. he adopted a tough policy toward communism in Korea and threatened to Chinese communists that he would use even a nuclear weapon if the peace negotiation began to move forward. After that, the Chinese agreed to the U.S. terms in 1953.
