Compare/Contrast/Explain
The Korean War and World War II both had their effects on the world today. Some argue that without these wars, the world would actually be a horrible place while others would beg to differ. Each had their own great impacts even though there were many deaths such as the results of the dropping of the atomic bomb.
Both of the wars brought advances in technology. As I said earlier, we have the atomic bomb which became the invention of nuclear weapons. Well during wartime, factories must produce much more weaponry and that creates an improvement in what type of guns and airplanes we use.
“ The Korean War brought many negative effects to Korea. “The Korean War was one of the most destructive of the 20th century. Perhaps as many as 4 million Koreans died throughout the peninsula, two-thirds of them civilians. This compares, for example, with the 2.3 million Japanese who died in WWII. China lost up to 1 million soldiers, and the US suffered 36,934 dead and 103,284 wounded. Other UN nations suffered 3322 dead and 11,949 wounded.”

They also both affected the economy. Even though the Korean War had negative effects on Korea, it boosted the economy of Japan. Most of the materials used in the war was bought from Japan. It helped their economy greatly after what happened in WWII. It also had similar effects on the American economy, as defense spending nearly quadrupled in the last few months of 1950. The Korean War gave Japan the success that World War II gave to the US.
“The Korean War had both positive and negative effects. The Korean War was able to boost the economy of the Japanese government and revive their economy similarly to the way ours was during WWII. The Korean War, however, was very destructive to Korea. Both North and South Korea had much causality but they both were stretched economically. With the end of the Korean War it left Korea still split and still with a communist government to deal with even through today. The Korean War also legitimized the United Nations as well as brought more military power throughout the world. The effects of the Korean War can without a doubt still be seen throughout the world today.”
