Background:

 * After WW I, A Cold War and an arms race led to dramatic social and economic change in Europe and North America. The U.S. replaced Western Europe as the dominant global power. As the chief global power, the U.S. took the lead in many of the conflicts that developed during and after the Cold War
 * Tensions between the U.S. and the Soviet Union developed quickly after the end of WWII
 * The Soviets wanted a protective belt against Germany as well as an opportunity to force-feed communism into the states of Eastern Europe
 * The West responded with rapid re-armament and an anti-Soviet Alliance system
 * Specific crises in Germany, Korea, Cuba, Vietnam and elsewhere developed during the Cold War
 * Equally troubling was the build up of nuclear weapons
 * Negotiations led to arms control measures from the 1960s onward
 * Cold War ended with the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991

 * __ Background to the Korean Conflict __ : **

Koreans often use the proverb “**when whales fight, the shrimp’s back is broken”** to describe their country’s victimization at the hands of larger, more powerful neighbors.

The surrender of Japan to the allies at the end of World War II resulted in a new and unexpected development on the Korean peninsula: the division of Korea into two separate states, one in the North (the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, D.P.R.K.) and one in the South (the Republic of Korea, R.O.K.). In the final days of the war, the United States and the Soviet Union had agreed to jointly accept the Japanese surrender in Korea, with the U.S.S.R. occupying Korea north of the 38th parallel and the U.S. occupying south until an independent and unified Korean government could be established. However, by 1947, the emerging Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, combined with political differences between Koreans of the two occupation zones and the policies of the occupation forces on the ground, led to a breakdown in negotiations over a unified government of Korea.
