What are the main causes of Vietnam War and Korean War?​

My father was in the Vietnam and Korean war....

The world has an experience of witnessing thousands of wars, fought by various countries, using diverse tactics and having different outcomes. There are no two entirely similar wars, each single one of them has its peculiarities and hidden and apparent motives. Though some conflicts have traits in common, thus their causes, outcomes, and implications can be compared. In my short paper, I would like to compare the Korean and Vietnam Wars.

The Korean War was a war fought between armies of North Korea and South Korea. The battle began approximately on June 25, 1950, and ended three years later on July 1953. Over the course of this war, more than two million Koreans died, and much more were injured and suffered much. The first steps towards the war were made after the World War II ended. The USSR and the United States made a treaty to force the Japanese out of Korea. Together, the United States and the Soviet Union succeeded in freeing Korea from Japanese regulation. Under that pact, it was also agreed that the Soviet Union would maintain the north of Korea after the war, and the United States would obtain control over the south. The dividing line was the 38th parallel. It was decided that Korea would become a unified, democratic country based on free elections, but dates were not specified. Instead, it soon became clear that there will be a war and not peaceful negotiation (The Korean War: Causes).

Now I would like to describe the causes of the Vietnam War; a war fought from the late 1950s to 1975 that was, in fact, the only war that did not end in a U.S victory. What is terrifying is that this war between took the lives of between 2 and 5.7 million people. The causes of the Vietnam War trace their roots back to the end of World War II. Before and shortly after World War II, France had controlled Vietnam. The Vietnam War was a point of the conflict between France and the Vietnamese leaders. In summer 1954, France and Vietnam signed the Geneva Peace Accord. After the treaty was signed, the country was split into two separate states: North and South Vietnam. In this situation, the United States got a hold of the democratic southern part and started to give military advisers to help train and support the army (The History Place).

Earlier I presented brief descriptions of the causes and outcomes of the two wars that at times seem a bit similar. Though, the consequences of the two wars were different indeed. While the Korean War was a success for the U.S. and the United Nations, the War in Vietnam was the biggest failure of the USA. There are several reasons for such s difference in outcomes, though lower I would like to present the main one. Even though both wars were thought between the north and south of the countries and in both wars it was mainly U.S fighting against USSR communist regime, the war in Vietnam was doomed to fail. Mostly, this is because the war in Vietnam involved partisans’ fighting that was encouraged strongly by the USSR. Conversely, In Korea, the troops were fighting the regular army. Thus, the failure of the American actions in Vietnam is caused mainly by the impossibility of succeeding when competing against the partisan commando and not regular army.

Hope that helps!!!

After WWII and the decolonization period, both Vietnam and Korea were split up. The Northern section of both Korea and Vietnam were ruled by communist regimes. The Southern sections were Democratic/Republic governments.  The Vietnam rulers wanted to unit North and South Vietnam together, but under their own government, and the same with the two Koreas. After Russia builds their first Atomic bomb, though well after America's, Russia gives North Korea a go to attack South Korea. The UN immediately sends a makeshift army from multiple countries to support South Korea, and they battle back and forth until 1953, when the borders are the same as today's. This was about the exact same story with the Vietnam war, except Southern Vietnam immediately collapsed when President Richard Nixon pulled US troops out of Vietnam. These 2 wars were a series of conflicts between communist and non-communist regimes with Russia and US support known as the Cold War.

How did women create new opportunities for world war 2?
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

By proving that they're capable workers.

Explanation:

In early 1900s, society mostly see women as incapable workers. So, the vast majority of the jobs were held by men only. During the world war 2, the vast majority of men were drafted as soldiers. This left a lot of jobs in the country left unfilled.

At that time, the women were the one that filled these jobs and became the backbone of United States' economy. They managed to silent all doubters from their high achievements.

Through this, women managed to opened up a lot of opportunities for employment.

After the world war 2 over, many companies started to hire more women knowing that they're just as capable. This highly contributed to the increase of  women employment in 20th century.

What protections do voters receive under the constitution
PIT_PIT [208]
The Act, reaffirming the 15th Amendment, prohibits states from imposing any "voting qualification or prerequisite to voting, or standard, practice, or procedure ... to deny or abridge the right of any citizen of the United States to vote on account of race or color." This act is supposed to protect citizens from arbitrary rules and regulations that may deter them or attempt to deter them for no other reason then to deter them. Such as the new voter ID laws in several states across the country, these are currently under scrutiny for deterring voters. A key element in this act, specifically intended by Congress was to outlaw the practice of requiring otherwise qualified voters to pass literacy tests in order to register to vote. This was a method that had been previously used to deter poor African Americans from voting. The Act also established extensive federal oversight of elections administration, providing that states with a history of discriminatory voting practices (so-called "covered jurisdictions") could not implement any change affecting voting without first obtaining the approval of the Department of Justice, a process known as preclearance. This is an issue that Florida is currently dealing with. The 15th Amendment to the Constitution granted African American men the right to vote by declaring that the "right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude." However, for years the South would use "devices", of any kind, to circumvent the law and were successful in deterring 50% of the Black vote.
