North Korea had a sever food shortage that resulted in 2.5 million deaths (Uschan 97). It looks like the war over control resulted in lack of control for North Korea.

Learning and researching the Korean War has been a struggle. It took long nights of online research and weeks of reading pages of information I couldn’t understand. After flipping through numerous pages of information I finally realized that North Korea and South Korea were not friends if you will. So, I realized that they were enemies and didn’t get along next; I had to understand what the 38th parallel was. The name definitely threw me off. To make it easier I pictured a long line and on one side it said North Korea and on the other side it said South Korea. Standing next to the lines were the fighting forces equip with there weapons ready for battle. Next came the breaking point when North Korea’s leader Kim Sung tells his troops to cross the line aka cross the 38th parallel. At that point there is no turning back that was the straw that broke the camels back! There were a bunch of battles during the next three years all resulting in death. From an outsider looking in anyone dying over a dispute is a tragedy. Then came the aftermath of the battles. I saw pain and sadness; I also saw a country in a great depression. The out comes of the war were not that rewarding. If I had to choose a winner of the war I would choose South Korea as the more stable country. South Korea now has a stable economy, while North Korea suffered with a ruler who was controlling and brought his country down with him. One great outcome of the Korean War that I can come up with when recapping the war would have to be the equality of men and women. I think it is great to finally see men and women coming together to fight for the same thing, their country. The fact is that sometimes it takes a stressful situation for people to come together!

were being sent over to fight (Sandle 2-3 ed.). Women also donated blood for soldiers, they also supplied them with: stationary, food, books, and also knitted the soldiers socks and sweaters (Sandle 4 ed.). It is quite evident that women played a big role in the Korean War. While women were allowed to participate in military events the Korean War in some ways forced women to be a big part of the Korean War and Wars in general!

Though the war was over for everyone else there were lasting effects on Korea. Death and destruction lived on in Korea. President Harry S. Truman and General Douglas Mac Arthur both admitted that the war in Korea nearly destroyed the nation. Truman goes on to say, “I have never seen such devastation. I have seen, I guess as much blood and disaster as any living man, and it just curled my stomach the last time I was there. After I looked at that wreckage and tho
