Warm-Up
23 Days
Left 
The year is 1950, and North Korea, a communist country,
has invaded South Korea, a non-communist country.
President Harry S. Truman has to decide whether to
commit ground troops to help fight the invasion, which
would mean that the “cold war” would become a “hot
war.” You are a policy analyst for the newly-formed
National security Council. Using your knowledge of
American cold war policy, the documents and your notes,
write a 5 sentence paragraph in which you argue for or
against committing American ground troops. You will
need to address why the policy of Containment applies
or does not apply to the situation in Korea.
