 * It's known as "The Forgotten War", but all American should lern about it and remember it ... and that's where you can help. You have been asked to develop a "Korea ** 9 **3 2 1" webpage to cover the basic information everyone should know about the Korean War - all on one page. Your page should include ...**


 * 9** - facts about the causes, impact, and events of the Korean War (look at my examples below)
 * 3** - photos that help tell the story of the war, with descriptive captions
 * 2** - maps that helps to explain the war.
 * 1** - quote that is essential to understanding the war, with authors and context

9 - **Come up with __9 great facts__ that everyone should know about "The Forgotten War", using the examples below as guides.**
 * **A non example** ... //I like cheese//.
 * **A bad example** ... //There was a war in// //Korea// //in the 1950s//.
 * **A good example** ... //The Korean War began in July of 1950 when// // North Korea invaded South Korea // //.//
 * **A better example** ... //The 3 year long Korean War began in 1950 when communist// // North Korea invaded democratic and US supported South Korea, pulling the // United Nations into a peacekeeping effort in Asia  . //(ooooh, that's good - so good)//
 * 1) The Korean began by a surprise attack from the North Korean People's Army on the Republic of Korea on June 25, 1950.
 * 2) On July 26, 1948 President Harry S. Truman signed an Executive Order stating that soldiers would be treated the same no matter which race or ethnicity, but it was not enforced immediately.
 * 3) The United States fought with the South Koreans against North Korea.
 * 4) After the United States asked the United Nations for help, sixteen nations provided soldiers for a UN force.
 * 5) The President chose Douglas MacArthur to lead them in the two year process of defending South Korea.
 * 6) In the end the Korean War changed little for the Koreans, but made a huge impact on the US and the united nations.
 * 7) These events led to the emerging containment law, where the US made it their priority to use the military if necessary to stop the spread of communism. All of this helped in leading to US in Vietnam.
 * 8) AFter the Wake Island Conference, everything got worse. The Chinese entered the war, suddenly Trumans' life long friend died, an assassination attempt occurs, and there is controversy over firing his commander in Korea.
 * 9) When North Korea first invaded South Korea, the US Air force was less than three years old, and so the Korean war was its first conflict as an independent service.


 * 3 - Photos should help tell the story of the war, so find three photos that work ... and provide a descriptive caption, like the one on my example**. ||  ||   ||   ||
