Communism vs. Democracy in China
-After WW II, Chiang Kai-shek wanted a Republic in
China, faced Communist opposition, was supported by
the USA, and was the chief power in Southern China of
the “Nationalists.”
-In Northern China, Communist Mao Zedong was
gaining power and peasant support. He wanted a
Communist revolution to occur in China.
-After Japan was pushed out of China, at the
conclusion of WW II, the North and South ceased
cooperation, since their common enemy was defeated,
and started competing for power with one another.

Containment Fails: China Becomes Communist
-In May of 1949, Chiang and his followers were
forced to flee to the island of Taiwan. Mao Zedong
established Communism on the mainland of China.
-The USA refused to accept China as a nation. The
Truman Doctrine of containment failed.
-Communism was gaining strong holds around the
world, particularly in Asia. Many claimed that
Communist spies had infested the United States
and radical hysteria began to spread.

When World War II was finished, the USA, Britain, and France grew
concerned. They wanted the nations of the world to accept Democracy.
Yet, it was clear that Stalin wanted Eastern Europe
to be dominated by communism.

Truman’s goal of “Containment” was simply to keep
communism from spreading any further into the world.

The Korean War Continued
-In June of 1950, The Northern Communists
invaded the Southern Peninsula. The Korean War
began.
-South Korea asked the UN for help, the USSR
boycotted the meeting due to the existence of
Taiwan. The absence of the USSR helped the
vote to pass.

The USA vs. China
-In response to the Northern invasion, MacArthur launched a defensive attack to keep the Southern region free.
-China sent troops to assist North Korea. The war was between North and South Korea, but it was also about China forces vs. USA forces.
-There were moments when the North advanced and moments when the South advanced. Yet, for the most part, a standstill developed in Korea. Neither the Communists nor the Democratic South could deliver a decisive victory.

Truman and MacArthur
-MacArthur wanted to unleash the most
powerful force the USA could use. He wanted
to drop nuclear bombs on China.
-The struggle was against North and South
Korea; yet, China was the main force behind
North Korea and North Korea would never fall
until China stopped helping them.
-Truman refused to use nuclear weapons and
MacArthur openly critiqued Truman for the
decision. Truman fired MacArthur as a result.

The End of the Korean War
-Neither side could achieve a decisive victory, so an armistice was signed by the two sides. Technically, this did not end the war, it simply meant cooperation would exist between the regions.
-In South Korea, Democracy could be established. Yet, North Korea remained under Communism.
-To this day, there is tension between the two areas.
