Korea--the conflict occurred as Japan began to expand influence and China attempted to retain influence.
Korea was a hub of resources and as Japan began to modernize into a western country, it became a target of Japanese imperialism. However, China had traditionally been the protector of Korea and the war was an attempt for China to maintain their hold on Korea. <span />
Fair Deal
Truman's social program extending the ideas of the New Deal was referred to as the Fair Deal.
The Fair Deal included laws to expand and support Social Security, raise wages, and prevent racial discrimination in the workplace. However, the economy was a concern after World War II and Congress was unwilling to pass Fair Deal laws during his first term. After winning a second term, Congress agreed to parts of the deal but not the whole program.
People flocked to California to fulfill the idea of owning new unclaimed land. There was also a large rush to California when gold was discovered there, although very few people became rich.
