Rights liberalism was prominent in the Civil Rights movements that began in the second half of the 20th century in the USA. Rights liberalism focused on acquiring equal political and social rights (such as voting, access to jobs and public facilities, etc) by persons of color and by women, who were not being afforded equal rights at the time.
Welfare liberalism of the 1930s and 1940s aimed at providing for the basic needs of all citizens, preventing people from languishing in poverty, offering work opportunities and Social Security for all. The intent was to build a more socially responsible society to help any members of society that would be in need.

The liberal tradition had John Stuart Mill as one of its founding fathers. Mill, a 19th century philosopher, is famous for his writing <em>On Liberty</em> as well as <em>Utilitarianism.</em> In promoting liberty (liberalism), he advocated the rights of all individuals. In his utilitarian theory, he worked with the principle that securing the greatest well-being of the greatest number of persons is the best, most ethical path to follow. The welfare liberalism tradition aligns especially with this utilitarian principle advocated by Mill. Rights liberalism aligns especially with the principles he set forth in his writing <em>On Liberty.</em>

Correct answer:

<h2>North Korea crossed the 38th parallel and invaded South Korea.</h2>

More detail:

At the end of World War II, Korea was divided between an area in the north that was under Soviet influence and in the south under American influence. When 90,000 North Korean troops crossed the 38th Parallel and attacked South Korea on June 25, 1950, US President Harry Truman ordered American troops moved from Japan to South Korea to protect the South against communist aggression. The United Nations also went into action. An emergency session of the UN Security Council was held -- from which the Soviet Union was absent because the USSR was boycotting the UN over the exclusion of communist China from the organization. Truman announced to the American people that he was authorizing sending US troops to prevent South Korea from being overtaken by communism. The UN Security Council met again and approved a US resolution approving the use of force against North Korea. Military forces in the Pacific theater, based in Japan, were deployed in the effort. There was no formal declaration of war by the US Congress, but Congress did vote to extend the draft and also authorized the president to call up military reserve personnel for duty.
