Asian Historical Events

Two major wars come to mind when thinking about the history Americans and Asians have shared. The Korean War and the Vietnam War.

For starters, the Korean War was actually a war that the U.S.A. helped in. They came to the rescue of the Korean's instead of fighting against them like in the other battles mentioned with the different cultures. At the time of the war, Korea was being taken over by Communism and because the United States is part of the United Nations and believe in the Truman Doctrine, America sent troops to Korea to help.

Just like the Korean War, the Vietnam War was centered around the fear of Communism as well. In high hopes to stop Communism from spreading, American once again got involved to help support the South Vietnamese government resist the attack of the North Communists.
