 * 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 help 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", using the examples below as guides.** // United Nations into a peacekeeping effort in Asia // //.// (ooooh, that's good - so good)
 * **A non example** ... //I like cheese//.
 * **A bad example** ... //There was a war in// //Korea// //in the 1950s//.
 * **A good example** ... //The Korean War began in July of 1950 when// // North Korea invaded South Korea // //.//
 * **A better example** ... //The 3 year long Korean War began in 1950 when communist// // North Korea invaded democratic and US supported South Korea, pulling the //

 My Examples: 1. North Korea was the Soviets and communism, and South Korea was occupied by the UN, American and Nationalism 2. US troops did most of the fighting for the UN forces in Korea 3. First, the UN was pushed back very far to its port which was south of them 4. North Korea then retreated because they were being attacked from both sides and they got back into China while retreating. 5. China warned the UN to stop because they were going into CHina but the UN ignored it and then China entered the war in 1950 6. UN wanted to bomb China and form a blockade but Truman would not allow that 7. Truman got so mad at the commander of the army, MacAurthur and then fired him and made him come home from war 8. The war got very long and dragged on for more years 9. They agreed to have a truce between the two sides and Americans were not very pleased because nothing was really changed, it was the same 10. The truce stated that they had about the same boundries that were set before and communism was contained there.


 * 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**.

 * [[image:Korean_War_Massacre.jpg width="285" height="360"]] || This is a very sad picture of civilians in North and South Korea that were killed in the since the fighting was all over Korea and many innocent civilians had their lives taken.

 * [[image:293764w.jpg width="323" height="264"]] || This is another picture of a civilian from Korea. This girl has her little brother on her back and is now homeless and orphaned like many children who lived in Korea at the time.

 * [[image:Sherman-korea.jpg width="370" height="296"]] || This is a picture of tanks in Korea because they had tank warfare in Korea and it was common.

Picture from Wikipedia ||
 * [[image:korean-war-memorial.jpg width="406" height="306"]] || This is an extra picture of just the Korean War Memorial which shows soldiers who were in Korea walking in war. ||


 * 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)**

1. The first picture is a very, very nice display of the Korean War through the whole time. It goes through time and shows where each side progressed and what happened in what years. 2. This is a picture of the war as a whole in one time with each major battles and where each side went and such.

 * 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 ...**

//**"The attack upon Korea makes it plain beyond all doubt that Communism has passed beyond the use of subversion to conquer independent nations and will now use armed invasion and war."**// - President Harry S Truman in his speech describing the military involvement of the US in Korea, without a declaration of war from Congress.

"I now close my military career and just fade away- an old soldier who tried to do his duty as God gave him the light to see that duty. Good-bye." - This is from General Douglas MacArthur in his speech to Congress after President Truman fired him from commander of the military in Korea
