But the three-year conflict in Korea, which pitted communist and capitalist forces against each other, set the stage for decades of tension among North Korea, South Korea and the United States.

- Increase in the import of raw materials saw a rise in demand for finer finished products which no doubt required factories with advanced machines and skilled workers for increased productivity.
