As the prompt says, these three paragraphs are about the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. The first website, titled "Korean and Vietnam Wars," was very informational. It clearly explains about each of the wars, both the Korean and Vietnam. It says how after World War II the Japanese was driven out of Korea. Then it tells how Soviet forces occupied the North part of Korea and the United States occupied the dirty south. After World War 2, we pulled most of our troops (U.S) out of Korea. The Soviet saw this as an opportunity, and they invaded Korea in 1950. The U.S soon brought troops back to Korea, but North Korea soon took over all of Korea except a small portion in the southeast controlled by China. The war ended up in kind of a stalemate and nobody won.

This great website also talks about the one and only Vietnam War. It explains how After World War 2, the French chose to fight the independence of the colonies which they had captured. The Vietnam war is thought of as the most famous battle. Vietnam had iron and coal mines in the north, rubber plantations and rice fields in the south. The French desired to keep these valuable natural resources, and, consequently, they would not let Vietnam become independent. The Vietminh, a communist group led by Ho Chi Minh, led the nationalist movement in Vietnam. The war ended in 1975, when North Vietnam invaded the South and took over the entire Vietnam. Nixon tried to withdraw troops from Vietnam in 1969.
