HARRY TRUMAN’S SECREATRY OF STATE DEAN ACHESON WRITES IN HIS FAMOUS“WHITE PAPER” THAT: “MOSCOW WAS NOT BEHIND CHINA BECOMING COMMUNIST!”
MAO ZEDONG CHAING KAI-SHEK WHITE TERROR: KILLED OVER 300,000 COMMUNISTS FROM 1927 ON
NSC-68: • MOSCOW IS TO BLAME FOR ANY COMMUNIST ACTIVITY ANYWHERE • WE WILL GIVE ECONOMIC AND MILITARY AID TO EVERYONE WHO IS IN DANGER OF BECOMING COMMUNIST (NOT JUST EUROPE, NOT JUST THE MIDDLE EAST, AND NOT JUST TURKEY OR GREECE) • WE WILL IMMEDIATELY INCREASE OUR DEFENSE BUDGET TO $35-50 BILLION
REFUSED TO HOLD GENERAL ELECTIONS IN THE NORTH SOVIET UNION AMERICA
SYNGHMAN RHEE IN THE SOUTH • KIM IL SUNG IN THE NORTH
SYNGMAN RHEE • GOT RID OF FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND FREEDOM OF THE PRESS • MANY ALLEGED COMMUNISTS WERE KILLED OR IMPRISONED • IF YOU WERE SUSPECTED OF BEING A NORTH KOREAN SPY YOU WERE ROUTINELY TORTURED • THE JEJU MASSACRE: • 60,000rebels and civilians were reportedly killed by the Army.
1. THERE WAS A PROTEST HELD BY THE COMMUNIST WORKERS PARTY OF SOUTH KOREA PARTY ON JEJU ISLAND. 2. 2500 PARTY MEMBERS WERE ARRESTED AND 3 PEOPLE KILLED. 3. ANOTHER DEMONSTRATION FOLLOWED THIS TIME MARKED BY POLICE SHOOTINGS AND THE SUBSEQUENT KILLING OF OVER 100 COPS. 4. THE SOUTH KOREAN ARMY BURNDE OVER 70% OF ALL JEJU VILLAGES 5. ONCE THE KOREAN WAR STARTED THERE WAS A N ORDER TO “"execute all those in in Leftist groups by firing squad no later than September 6 6. IN ALL, 15,000 DEAD AND 39,000 HOUSES DESTROYED JEJU ISLAND
MAYBE WORLD REVOLUTION NOW THAT CHINA WAS COMMUNIST • JAPAN WAS AMERICA’S ALLIE • BUT DON’T GET TOO EXCITED CUZ WE’RE NOT SENDING TROOPS MAO WILL ASK FOR STALIN’S HELP WITH TAIWAN SO IF HE SUPPORTS THE KOREAN WAR THEN SO WILL MAO
THE UN GOT INVOLVED BUT ACTUALLY, AMERICAN TROOPS REPRESENTED 80% OF ALL TROOPS, TANKS AND PLANES. THE SOVIET UNION DIDN’T VETO THE MOVE BECAUSE THEY WERE BOYCOTTING THE UN CUZ WE WOULDN’T RECOGNIZE COMMUNIST CHINA AS PART OF THE SECURITY COUNCIL.
THE DOMINO EFFECT WE SEE IT AS STALIN AND MAO THE UN REACTS AND 15 COUNTRIES SEND TROOP TO SOUTH KOREA. BUT, AMERICA STILL REPRESENTS 80% OF ALL MILITARY INVOLVEMENT CHINA IS REMOVED FROM THE UN SECURITY COUNCIL AND STALIN BOYCOTTS THE VOTE AS A RESULT.
GENERAL DOUGLAS MACARTHUR COMMANDER OF THE PACIFIC FORCES DURING WWII. NOW, TRUMAN ASKED HIM TO FIGHT THE KOREAN WAR
TRUMAN FIRES MCCARTHUR AFTER HE REFUSES TO BACK OFF THE IDEA OF NUKING BEIJING
CONSEQUENCES OF THE KOREAN WAR 40% OF ALL CAUSALTIES WERE AMERICAN WAS THE KOREAN WAR WORTH IT?
NCS-68 WAS PASSED AND WE RAISED OUR DEFENSE BUDGET 300%. IT NOW EQUALED 10 CENTS OF EVERY DOLLAR SPENT. RUSSIA RESPONDS BY INCREASING THEIR ARMY FROM 3 MILLION TO 5 MILLION!!!
WE BROUGHT GREECE AND TURKEY INTO NATO AND PUT MILITARY BASES IN TURKEY AND JAPAN
WE SWORE TO PROTECT TAIWAIN FROM CHINA. WE STILL DO TODAY!!!!
EVENTUALLY WE WILL GET INVOLVED IN ANY ASIAN PROBLEM, ESPECIALLY VIETNAM!!!! “DOMINO EFFECT”
STALIN DIDN’T HELP MAO IN KOREA AND THIS PERMANENTLY DETERIORATED RUSSIA’S RELATIONSHIP WITH COMMUNIST CHINA.
