**__Korean War Activity: You be the Judge__**

Below are two textbook accounts of the Korean War, one from North Korea and the other from South Korea:

Upset by the fast and astonishing growth of the power of the Republic, the American invaders hastened the preparation of an aggressive war in order to destroy it in its infancy....The American imperialists furiously carried out the war project in 1950....The American invaders who had been preparing the war for a long time, alongside their puppets, finally initiated the war on June 25th of the 39th year of the Juche calendar. That dawn, the enemies unexpectedly attacked the North half of the Republic, and the war clouds hung over the once peaceful country, accompanied by the echoing roar of cannons. Having passed the 38th parallel, the enemies crawled deeper and deeper into the North half of the Republic...the invading forces of the enemies had to be eliminated and the threatened fate of our country and our people had to be saved.
 * Textbook A:**

When the overthrow of the South Korean government through social confusion became too difficult, the North Korean communists switched to a stick-and-carrot strategy: seeming to offer peaceful negotiations, they were instead analyzing the right moment of attack and preparing themselves for it. The North Korean communists prepared themselves for war. Kim Il-sung secretly visited the Soviet Union and was promised the alliance of the Soviets and China in case of war. Finally, at dawn on June 25th, 1950 the North began their southward aggression along the 38th parallel. Taken by surprise at these unexpected attacks, the army of the Republic of Korea (South Korea) fought courageously to defend the liberty of the country....The armed provocation of the North Korean communists brought the UN Security Council around the table. A decree denounced the North Korean military action as illegal and as a threat to peace, and a decision was made to help the South. The UN army constituted the armies of 16 countries—among them, the United States, Great Britain and France—joined the South Korean forces in the battle against the North.

__**Questions on Textbook excerpts**__
 * 1) According to each textbook, how did the Korean War start?**

__Textbook A__: Korean War started because of America, that they don't want power of republic to grow in the North Korea.

__Textbook B__: Korean War started as North surprisingly attack the south. Kim II-Sung started the Korean War because he knew it's coming, that's why he prepare himself and alliance with Soviet and China before it happen.


 * 2) Which of these textbooks do you find more trustworthy? Why? (Use specific examples from each text to support your answer).**

I found the textbook B more trustworthy because it talks about how Kim II-Sung meet up with Soviet and China, why would he meet them if it wasn't for a war. And everyone clearly knows that UN support South but not North because they are the one who attack first, and also to defend the liberty of South Korea.


 * 3) Where else would you look in order to figure out how the Korean War started?**

To figure out more about how the Korean War started, I would probably look at the advantage of both North and South through this war.


 * Which of these sources is for Textbook A and which is for Textbook B?**


 * Kim, Doojin. Korean History: Senior High. (Seoul, South Korea: Dae HanTextbook Co.), 2001.**
 * Textbook: __B__**
 * Provide language from the textbook excerpt to support your answer:**

I know it's B because textbook B blame North Korea for starting the Korean War by planning everything before and secretly attacking the innocent South Korea.


 * History of the Revolution of our Great Leader Kim Il-sun: High School. (Pongyang, North Korea: Textbook Publishing Co., 1999).**
 * Textbook: __A__**
 * Provide language from the textbook excerpt to support your answer:**

I know it's A because in textbook A, it talks about how the American don't want the power of republic to grow further in the North and that they started attacking them

=**__Cuban Missile Crises__ 11/6/13**=




 * Send a warning to Castro and Khrushchev, and if the dismantling of the missile sites is not underway within 24 hours, order an air strike against the sites.**

I choose this option because most of the staff advisory believe that, if they air strike directly without letting anyone know, there is this possibility that it can weaken the relationship of them with their allies. And it's not at all our way of solving such situation, if we take a risk and use air strike it could weaken the trust from other nation all over the world towards us. And the worst part is that, there is possibility that it can lead towards general war, which i personally don't want it to happen. So I have decide to send a warning to Castro and Khrushchev first. And if they refuse to to as we told within 24 hours, i hereby order an air strike against the sites. Because i believe that if we give them too much of a time, they can find a way out from air strike.
