Question

In the early 1950s the Korean War threatened to A) endanger trade in and from the Pacific Ocean region. B) turn Japan into a dangerous political and economic foe. C) cause a counterculture revolution in the United States. D) result in a nuclear attack by the Soviet Union on the U.S. Elim

Answer 1

A--threatened trade in and out of the Pacific region. 

The Korean War was a conflict between the Northern communists and the Southern democratic portions of Korea. Trade with the area was important to the West and a new relationship with Japan. If the South was lost to the North, the trade connections would have been lost to communist areas.
