 * __Outcomes of the Korean War__**


 * The Korean War was one of the bloodiest wars in history. It lasted 3 years and ended on July 27, 1953 when an armistice**
 * agreement was signed. During the war** **more than** **3 million people on both sides died and millions were left homeless.** **To this day**
 * the** **conflict between North and South Korean has not been resolved yet.**

(The signing of the Armistice Agreement.)
 * The Korean War took place in Korea which at that time was one country. The war started when Northern Koreans (now North Korea) came down and started invading Southern Korea (now South Korea). The UN (United Nations) told the communists in North Korea to stop they called the invasion a “Violation of international Peace." The North Koreans kept on attacking.

When they heard that the North Koreans were still attacking the UN had 16 countries send troops to South Korea and 41 other countries sent military supplies. This helped a lot, but on North Korea's side China was sending troops to North Korea. Russia also helped North Korea by sending military supplies. By the looks of the numbers on both sides, it was going to be a long and bloody war.

Something interesting about the Korean War is that the conflict, in which over 3 million people died in, is still not resolved. American troops still remain in South Korea to help protect them in case North Korea decides to attack South Korea again and as a warning to the Soviet Union.

Another interesting thing about the Korean War is that out of all the countries in the UN, we had sent 90 % of the troops, military equipment and supplies. If we had not helped out South Korea in the Korean War who Knows, South Korea may have lost the war and would have had to become a communist country.

The importance of the Korean War was that alliances were made. Also, because South Korea didn't become a communist country. We learn about this because it is part of our history. We also learn about the Korean War so history does not repeat itself in the future.** **If we had not helped out South Korea we may have lost control in the Pacific Ocean and had to have dealt with a more powerful communist country with Korea in one country in stead of split up like they are now with South Korea and North Korea.** =__//**Bibliography**//__=
