**__Facts__**

 * As China had fallen to communism, the United States had become fearful to other countries to become communist nations, and so wanted to fight in Korea to keep them from communist control.
 * The Truman containment policy was "tested" in Korea.
 * The 38th parallel was the root of the conflict, where North Korea pushed forces into, and South Korea defended.
 * The United States and the Soviet Union had both taken control of Korea causing problems between them.
 * Over 3 million people died in the Korean War, the 3 million include everyone, there are estimates of 33,741 american deaths.
 * China thought that the United Nations forces moving into North Korea was a threat to thier security, and warned forces that they would attack, but the UN continued to move in troops.
 * The war prevented communism from spreading into South Korea, but no other gains happened.
 * The Korean War marks the start of the Cold War which is important because this war really shaped the whole cold war.
 * This war is sometimes called the Forgotten war, becuase it occured right after World War II and then right before the Vietnam War, the Korean War often gets overlooked because it was not as big and right in between two big wars.
