the military and civilian cost of war

Hello Eisenhower,
I wanted to fill you in on the recent war that happened in Korea. So for beginners when the USA went into Korea they were just looking to get the North Koreans out of Southern Korea and keep the boarder. But before they could even go into Korea they had to get the go ahead from the UN. However this was just a minor speed bump in since they had most of the say in the UN budget because they were the main contributer of the money into the UN bu. Also since the USA had cut the USSR out of the UN and so therefore the vote was unanimous and the USA could get 18 countries to go into the war with them. Then once over in Korea they began to push the border and then they came up with the plan to try and push them farther into Northern Korea. However then China became involved in the affairs because China was in charge of Korea where they pushed the UN forces back to the original border that South Korea had in place. This was a very bad decision to try to continue to push South Korea northward because they it killed many more civilians and it made General MacArthur have too much confidence and think that they could handle much more than they could.
Thank you for your time,
Erika Lind
