    Extractions: Chapter 25 The Korean War, 1950-1953 Extracted from AMERICAN MILITARY HISTORY ARMY HISTORICAL SERIES OFFICE OF THE CHIEF OF MILITARY HISTORY UNITED STATES ARMY CHAPTER 25 The Korean War, 1950-1953 After the USSR installed a Communist government in North Korea in September 1948, that government promoted and supported an insurgency in South Korea in an attempt to bring down the recognized government and gain jurisdiction over the entire Korean peninsula. Not quite two years later, after the insurgency showed signs of failing, the northern government undertook a direct attack, sending the North Korea People's Army south across the 38th parallel before daylight on Sunday, June 25, 1950. The invasion, in a narrow sense, marked the beginning of a civil war between peoples of a divided country. In a larger sense, the cold war between the Great Power blocs had erupted in open hostilities. The Decision for War The western bloc, especially the United States, was surprised by the North Korean decision. Although intelligence information of a possible June invasion had reached Washington, the reporting agencies judged an early summer attack unlikely. The North Koreans, they estimated, had not yet exhausted the possibilities of the insurgency and would continue that strategy only. The North Koreans, however, seem to have taken encouragement from the U.S. policy which left Korea outside the U.S. "defense line" in Asia and from relatively public discussions of the economies placed on U.S. armed forces. They evidently accepted these as reasons to discount American counteraction, or their sponsor, the USSR, may have made that calculation for them. The Soviets also appear to have been certain the United Nations would not intervene, for in protest against Nationalist China's membership in the U.N. Security Council and against the U.N.'s refusal to seat Communist China, the USSR member had boycotted council meetings since January 1950 and did not return in June to veto any council move against North Korea.

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/war/coldwar/korea_usa_01.shtml
    
    Extractions: Print this article The Forgotten War The Korean War was a bloody conflict. It left Korea, North and South, with several million dead and the UN forces involved in the fighting with over a hundred thousand casualties. But despite fighting as intense and as violent as any other conflict since World War Two, Korea has always been history's 'Forgotten War'. '...US commanders repeatedly, and without ambiguity, ordered forces under their control to target and kill Korean refugees caught on the battlefield.' While atrocities conducted both by North and South Korean forces have already been documented, recently a much darker side to the US involvement in the Korean War has begun to emerge. It casts a shadow over the conduct of US forces during the conflict, particularly of officers and generals in command. Declassified military documents recently found in the US National Archives show clearly how US commanders repeatedly, and without ambiguity, ordered forces under their control to target and kill Korean refugees caught on the battlefield.

Millett - Scholarly research and publication in many countries has made the Korean War not only remembered, but also better understood. Material from Russia and China have been especially helpful in adding nuance and detail to now-dated writing about the war’s causes. Much more work needs to be done on Korean politics and the 1952–53 period, but in all the scholarship simply confirms the shared responsibility of all the belligerents – including the Koreans – in starting and continuing the war.

    http://www.tourmobile.com/sites-stops/lincoln.html
    
    Extractions: Dedication Inscription These words are inscribed above the 19 foot statue inside of this impressive memorial honoring Abraham Lincoln, who presided over the country during one of the most difficult times in American history the Civil War. More Americans lost their lives during the Civil War than all Americans who died during World War I, World War II, and the Korean and Vietnam Conflicts combined. As a result of the tremendous carnage at the battle of Gettysburg, Lincoln delivered the famous Gettysburg Address, at one time memorized by school children throughout the nation. President Lincoln managed to rise above tribulation while practicing the virtues of tolerance and honesty and his life mind and character have become an enduring inspiration to the world. The memorial, classical in design resembles the Parthenon, the temple to the Goddess Athena in Athens, Greece. It symbolizes the unity of our nation with 36 columns representing the 36 states that existed at the time the memorial was dedicated in 1922. In addition to the statue are two inscriptions: the Gettysburg Address and Lincoln's Second Inaugural Address.
