The British won the opium war due to superior sea power.
The Korean War was largely a symptom of the greater Cold War between Western and Communist forces. The United States entered the war when it became apparent that democratic, capitalist South Korea was going to lose to Communist North Korea. The United States not only pushed North Korea back the original borders between the two Koreas, but continued to push northward under the direction of General Douglas McArthur.
This turned out to be a poor decision, drawing in communist China, who feared encirclement by the United States and her allies (Korea shares its northern border with China). China's involvement was devastating, sending hundreds of thousands of troops into the Korean peninsula and pushing the western alliance southward. The clash between these powerful forces eventually resulted in a ceasefire along the 38th parallel, the original border between the two Koreas. It is a ceasefire that still holds to this day.
The Korean War had many interesting and far-reaching consequences, including the protection of South Korea which went on to become one of the most prosperous countries in the world. It also led, several decades later, the nuclear crisis which the world finds itself in today.
The examples of such countries, could be:
Poland, Romania, Czechoslovakia, Eastern Germany (German Democratic Republic).
Those countries formally were independent states but their politics and economy was controlled by Moscow (the capital city of the Soviet Union). They were called the satellite countries. In term of economy all those countries were members of Comecon (<span>Council for Mutual Economic Assistance) and in term of security - members of the Warsaw Pact. </span>
The border between the communist bloc and the western Europe was called "the iron curtain" - it was located between the Eastern and Western Germany. The communist bloc started falling apart in 1989 along with the democratic revolutions taking place in the Eastern Europe.
Dear Grandchild
I hope you are doing well. How is your school? do you enjoy it?
I remember when I used to be in school and we used to have very basic typewriters to write our essays.
Eventually, as technology became cheaper, we started to use PCs. They usually consisted of a CPU and a large computer screen.
We used to use a software called Windows 3.1
Ten years on and we had laptops that we could carry with us anywhere and take our work with us. Communication started to reach a whole new level with the advent of the smartphone and it's amazing features.
I can only imagine the kind of technologies being used at your school.
I would love to hear from you. Do tell me!
Thanks
Love
Grandpa!
