Canada and The Korean War

In the last long and devastating World War II, the Korean War was called "a forgotten war" by Canadian veterans. After Japan's defeat in World War II, South Korea was divided into two parts, North Korea and South Korea. The Democratic People's Republic of Korea was occupied by the Soviet communist country, Korea was occupied by the United States and other democracy. The war began on June 25, 1950. And the North Korean people attacked the 38th Army troops behind their staff and cannons.

Canada played an important role in the Korean War. The Korean War began in 1950 and the North Korean army crossed the 38th parallel line and entered the Republic of Korea. This is five years after the establishment of the United Nations, but as a part of the United Nations, the Korean Democratic People's Republic proceeded quickly to help the North Korean army fight the army from the north. On June 25, 1950, after the North Korean army crossed 38 parallel lines, we immediately separated the longitude of the Korean peninsula from Canada and dealt with the suffering of the Republic of Korea. Canadian troops are willing to fight, but they encountered many difficulties in Korea. The most important of these difficulties is the use of "War of War" in the "World War I", military training for this war was inadequate. Another problem facing Canada is that communication with the United States is inadequate.

Since the end of World War II and the establishment of the United Nations, Canada has played a variety of roles in various external wars. In the Korean War, Canada plays an important role in the dispatch of troops and may help to prevent North Korea from occupying the African continent. In the Persian Gulf War, Canada played an important political role in the sanctioning war, but during the war Canada played more supportive role in the United States. In the war with terrorism in Afghanistan, Canada contributed what they could do in the form of group-trained sniper and special forces. It is still two projects that the government provides sufficient funds yet. Recently, in Iraq, Canada did not participate in the "happy alliance" war that was not approved by the United Nations, and it was not suitable for specially trained sniper and special forces.

Initially, Canada did not respond to US involvement in the Korean War. The Canadian society agrees that the Korean War is worth fighting. The consensus during the Korean War was more extensive as the French Canadians supported more enthusiastic support for the war. Federal civil servant Pierre Trudeau and public opinion survey of the Ottawa Civil Service shows that many Ottawa French and Canadians welcome the expansion of Canada by the Cold War alliance. Fighting Communism is a matter of the traditional difference of Canadian attitude toward foreign policy.
