H1110 CONTAINMENT POLICY
Here is your goal for this lesson:
Write a report analyzing the Cold War policy of containment
Many Americans have questioned whether fighting a full-scale war against China or a war of containment was the best policy for fighting the Korean War. Using the Internet, library, and other sources, research how Truman and MacArthur differed over strategy in fighting the Korean War. After analyzing each position, determine whether Truman or MacArthur had the best strategy.
In an essay of approximately 350-400 words: • State why you believe Truman or MacArthur had the best strategy in fighting the Korean War. • Give your reasons and arguments for the position you have chosen and make your arguments as convincing as possible. • Does it appear to you that either strategy is based upon biblical principles? In what way and which principles are given expression by the policy or strategy?

    By giving press conferences, and writing letters to congressmen who were hostile towards the Truman Administration, MacArthur let the nation know his feelings on the president. This would, however, reach a breaking point when MacArthur openly responded and congratulated a congressman who had written to him about all that was wrong with Truman, by commenting and saying the man had lots of insight. It was at this point that Truman had decided to put an end to this, and fired MacArthur on April 11th 1951. This was, however, a very controversial decision by Truman as explained by Professor Brands, “So, when Truman saw this, he said ‘O.K. the end has come, and I’ve got to fire MacArthur.’ It was a bold move, because, as I say, MacArthur, in popular perceptions dramatically outranked Harry Truman” (35:52-36:07).…

    Many Americans believed that Truman's foreign policy did not work. China had fallen to communist, and the American troops had been sent across the pacific to fight in the Korean War. During the cold war, it shaped the way Eisenhower's thinking from the moment he started office. He was convinced that the key to victory in the cold war was a strong economy, not just the army. Then, The Korean War had convinced Eisenhower that the US cold not contain communism by fighting a series of small wars. The best way to do prevent unpopular and expensive wars, was to threaten to use nuclear weapons if a communist state tried to seize territory by force. Which was known as Massive retaliation. He began to develop of intercontiental ballistic massiles that…

    President Eisenhower maintained American dedication to the principal of containment with regards to his policies in Vietnam. Following Truman’s actions in providing aid to Vietnam after a recommendations from a 1950 National Security Council calling for, “a decision to contain communist expansion at the border of Indochina must be considered as a part of a wider study to prevent communist aggression into other parts of Southeast Asia… and it is important to United States security interests that all practicable measures be taken … as the balance of Southeast Asia would then be in grave hazard”, Eisenhower increased aid rapidly to both the…

    Generally summarizing the Korean War as in Blair’s Forgotten War – At the end of World War II the western half of the world (the Capitalist side) and the eastern half of the world (the Communist side) divided the Korean peninsula into two nations, the northern half communist and the southern half American occupied and capitalist. The two nations were divided at the 38th parallel. The Korean War itself began when the communist North Koreans invaded their South Korean neighbors by advancing over the 38th parallel boundary, on the 28th of June 1951 when the North Korean army, using Russian equipment and advisors, had conquered much of South Korea, a poorly equipped and poorly led U.S. Army came to the rescue of the South Koreans. President Truman had basically stripped the U.S. Army’s equipment and manpower down to nothing for budget reasons, believing that his military advisors spoiled, dumb, and “big spenders”, (sparing no expense to win a battle). Truman believed that he could do better than any military official. General Douglas MacArthur, on whom Blair spares no criticism, had been overseeing the occupation of Japan, and was a decorated general during WWII in the Pacific theater, he was the obvious choice to be appointed commander of the U.S. forces which were to hold back the North Korean army at Pusan – the tip of the Korean peninsula. MacArthur was in command of…

    In it, Truman argues that "communism has passed beyond the use of subversion to conquer independent nations and will now use armed invasion and war." Truman's statement suggests that he believed the attack by North Korea had been part of a larger plan by communist China and, by extension, the Soviet Union. The President believed that the Korean situation was similar to that of Greece in 1947. He informed his advisors that he believed the invasion was "very obviously inspired by the Soviet Union." This gave America a moral imperative to act. "If we don't put up a fight now," Truman observed to his staff, there was "no telling what they'll do." His concern over the future of anticommunist governments in Asia showed in his public statement. Truman pledged to defend Formosa (Taiwan) from attack and to support French forces in Indochina, a conflict that would eventually escalate into the Vietnam War. Yet Truman had no wish to provoke a full-scale war with the Soviets. By blaming "communism" in the statement, as opposed to the Soviet Union, Dean Acheson later explained, the administration sought to give the Soviets a "graceful exit" and not provoke open confrontation with…
