At the end of World War II, the USA and Russia divided Korea at the 38th parallel for the purpose of occupying the country. The United States occupied the agricultural South; Russia, the industrial North. The arrangement appeared to be reasonable, since the country was to be reunited as soon as a peacetime situation had been restored. By 1948 two hostile regimes, each claiming to be the legal Korean government faced each other across the 38th parallel. Russia refused to allow United Nations sponsored all-Korea elections to take place. The United States then helped to establish the Republic of Korea in the South and furnished enough aid to make the new government defensively self-sufficient. The last United States troops were withdrawn by mid-1949. In June 1950, South Korea was attacked by the Russian puppet regime of North Korea. The United States feared that if South Korea fell, other countries Southeast Asia would also fall. The United States furnished air and ground support to South Korea, and President Truman named General Douglas MacArthur supreme commander of the United Nations forces. MacArthur’s brilliant military tactics raised hopes that the war would be brief, but after initial United Nations victories, the Chinese Communist army intervened in great strength. Successes in the war fluctuated between North and South. In the meantime, MacArthur was relieved by Truman after publicly disagreeing with the president concerning the conduct of the war. Внимание!
