Korean War

History
1 answer:
vazorg [7]3 years ago
5 0

Here's how the Korean War started:  

When 90,000 North Korean troops crossed the 38th Parallel and attacked South Korea on June 25, 1950, 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.

The Korean War was an effort led by the United States to keep South Korea free and democratic.  The Korean War lasted from 1950 to 1953, and about 5 million people (soldiers and civilians) lost their lives in the conflict.  Korea remains divided at the same line where things stood prior to that war.

Akimi4 [234]

The war resulted in the death of more than half of Paraguayan population representing about 66% of the Paraguayan population.

How did the Treaty of Versailles help pave the way for the Nazi party to gain control of Germany?
rjkz [21]

The Treaty of Versailles helped pave the way for the Nazi party to gain control of Germany by creating resentment and anger among the German people. Many German people were very resentful of their government (the Weimar Government) for having signed the peace Treaty in June 1919, since the terms of the Treaty were indeed very harmful to Germany: it took territory from the country, it forced it to pay reparations, and (and this term really caused indignation about the Germans) it blamed it and her allies for having started the war.

Since the Weimar Government was not popular and the country was facing tremeduous economic and social problems, the Nazis were able to gain the support of the German people, and eventually had the control of Germany.

Answer:

Dehydrated foods

Velcro

Explanation:

Dehydrated foods were one of the great creations of the space race. This type of food remained nutritious and allowed the astronauts to stay strong, but since all the water was removed, these foods weighed only 20 percent of their original weight, facilitating transport and storage.

Velcro was also created by NASA during the space race. The purpose of Velcro was to facilitate the moment when astronauts had to wear their clothes in environments with very low gravity.
