 * It's known as "The Forgotten War", but all Americans should learn 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, events, and impact 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 help 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. I will have my own list that will use to compare to yours - hopefully you will ge most of the facts on my list! At least 2 of the facts should be about the CAUSES of the war, at least 3 of the facts should be about the WAR itself, and at least 2 facts should be about the EFFECTS OR IMPACT of the war. The other two can be from any category. **

The Korean War between North Korea and South Korea, started on June 25, 1950 when North Korea invaded South Korea.

The Korean War was a civil war where Koreans fought each other on their own land

Many soldiers experienced frostbite during the subzero temperatures during Winter.

On July 27, 1953, an armistice was signed and this armistice resulted in Korean Demilitarized Zone being established.

Over 2.5 million civilians, both North and South Koreans, were killed and over 1 million soldiers lost their lives during the war.

The war finally ended, thanks to the United Nations forces.

For three years, the Korean War lasted, with no real victory on either side.

South Korea had support from the United Nations and China supported North Korea. The supporters provided both South and North Korea with financial help and military help.

North Korea moved south quickly at first and captured the South Korean capital Seoul.

After the 1953 truce at Panmunjom, North Korea, North and South Korea remained separate, as before the war. Impact was human cost, economic cost, Communism vs. democracy, winner?, US becomes conservative, arms race, red scare, and UN played role.
