im thinking of doing these.... but they don't look that good..how can i fix these or any better ones?

1. The Korean War is known as a civil war, but ideologically it is actually the war between the Communists and the Democrats trying to expand their powers
2. There was a Compromise made in the Korean War but it is not a complete compromise since Korea is still divided.

Answer 1

The Korean war was a proxy war between superpowers with China on the side of the Soviets of course.

Answer 2

Look at TheHistoryPlace.com

They signed a non-agression pact. There was not a treaty.

The Korean War was not a war but a conflict.

The main problem was that North Korea was Communist and South Korea was democratic. North Korea wanted to combine the two and both be Communist. South Korea did not want that. They wanted to STAY divided and that is what they did.

Answer 3

I would be tempted to argue the point the Korean War was one of the first wars where the President used his power to fight a war without an official declaration of war being declared by congress. It truly marks the rise of the 'Imperial Presidency'

The Korean war was also an expansion of the fight against communism in Europe against the Soviet Union into South East Asia. But the U.S brought its same methods of fighting the spread of communism in Europe into SE Asia and the biases destroyed any chance of negotiation or understanding of the conflict.
