 * It's known as "The Forgotten War", but all American should lern about it and remember it ... and that's where you can help. You have been asked to develop a "Korea ** 9 **3 2 1" webpage to cover the basic information everyone should know about the Korean War - all on one page. Your page should include ...**


 * 9** - facts about the causes, impact, and events of the Korean War (look at my examples below)
 * 3** - photos that help tell the story of the war, with descriptive captions
 * 2** - maps that helps to explain the war.
 * 1** - quote that is essential to understanding the war, with authors and context

9 - **Come up with __9 great facts__ that everyone should know about "The Forgotten War".** In 1949, the Communists defeated the American-supported Nationalists in the civil war of China. In 1945, the Soviet Army occupied the part of Korea north of the 38th parallel and the American army took control south of the line. Korea split into the Communist North Korea and the Non-Communist South Korea. North Korea was supported by the Soviets and South Korea was supported by the Americans. In 1950, North Korean troops crossed the dividing line into South Korea, which began the war. North Korea soon went back across the line but the American troops in South Korea pursued them. Communist China began seeing North Korea as a threat, so they attacked. The war was very unpopular, especially towards the end. In July 1953, a cease-fire ended the war and Korea stays separated


 * 3 - Photos should help tell the story of the war, so find three photos that work ... and provide a descriptive caption, like the one on my example**

This is an air force plane and it is dropping bombs on the montainous hills of Korea.



Two men that are part of the Marine Corps are dug in holes with machine guns. They are prepared for the night's fierce battle in Korea.

This is a map of Inchon Invasion Task Force Routes. It shows the groups that participated in the landing at Inchon. Some of the groups that landed here were from Kobe, Sasebo and Yokohama Japan.
 * 2 **- **What's a war without maps? Insert two maps that help tell the story of the causes, events, and/or impact of the map (with a caption for each)**



This is a map of The Withdrawal to Hamhung, North Korea. It shows the major attack forces of the Chinese and the Chinese divisions involved in their attacks as well as the Marine Routes.


 * 1 ****You know historical quotes can bring old crusty things to like, so find one decent quote that helps add to the content of the Korean War (and provide some context for the quotes). For example ...**

//"In my generation, this was not the first occasion when the strong had attacked the weak….Communism was acting in Korea just as Hitler, Mussolini, and the Japanese had acted ten, fifteen, and twenty years earlier. I felt certain that if South Korea was allowed to fall, Communist leaders would be emboldened to override nations closer to our own shores."// — President Harry Truman

This quote is talking about how communism is going around all over. Communist leaders are taking over all of these nations that are far away from us and they know they can attack them because their army is strong and the army they are attacking is weak.
