1: Causes of the Korean War

Part One:

We will study the reasons for the Korean War before taking a look to see how the war impacted the development of the two countries we now see today.

Focus on determining WHY the war occurred (why would one side of Korea want to go to war with the other side) and HOW the war "ended".

Create a timeline in your notes to represent these three areas:

1. What led to the war?

2. What happened during the war?

3. Why are the countries still divided?
