China's+Role+in+the+War-p4

China's role in the Korean War was to supply North Korean troops during the war. Between October 14 and November 1 China sent 180,000 people across the Yalu River. The Yalu River divides China and North Korea. China had a significant role in the war because if China hadn't sent supplies to North Korea and people to fight South Korea and the United Nations would have won the war. The war ended up with no one winning so China helped a lot.

In the Korean War the country involved on North Korea's side was China and The Soviet Union. The countries on South Korea's side were The United States and the United Nations. The Korean War was a war between North and South Korea. The Korean War took place on North and South Korea. The Korean War happened between 1950 and 1953. This mattered because it divided North and South Korea.

It started on June 25, 1950 at 4:00 A.M. when North Korea opened fire on South Korea. Thirty minutes later, South Korea sent 80,000 troops across the border. At 5:30 A.M. North Korea's main attack happened. They sent tanks and infantry to attack Seoul, the capital of South Korea, and also sent tanks and infantry to the 38 degree parallel.

On November 24, 1950 Douglas MacCarthur promised U.S. troops to be home by Christmas. Then, United Nations forces reached the Yalu River. The Chinese struck quickly and sent 300,000 troops to the Yalu. The United Nations was far outnumbered. The United Nations retreated back to South Korea.

Something that I found important were the leaders of the Korean War. On North Korea's side was China and The Soviet Union. North Korea's leader was Syngman Rhee and China's leader was Mao-Zedong. The Soviet Union's leader was Joseph Stalin.

The countries on South Korea’s side were The United States and The United Nations. The leader for South Korea was Kim Il Sung and the leader for The United States was Harry S. Truman. The leader for The United Nations was all of the countries in the organization. Today, North and South Korea are still divided. They are still divided at the 38 degree parallel.

The Korean War is important in history. It is important in history because it showed the struggle between South and North Korea on winning the war. It also showed the struggles between the other supporting countries. The other countries struggled to send more troops or sending more supplies to help win the Korean War.
