Korea-+9321




 * It's known as "The Forgotten War", but all Americans should learn about it and remember it ... and that's where you can help. You have been asked to develop a "Korea ** 9 **3 2 1" webpage to cover the basic information everyone should know about the Korean War - all on one page. Your page should include ... **

**9 ** - facts about the causes, events, and impact of the Korean War (look at my examples below) **3 ** - photos that help tell the story of the war, with descriptive captions **2 ** - maps that help to explain the war. **1 ** - quote that is essential to understanding the war, with authors and context

9  - **Come up with 9 great facts that everyone should know about "The Forgotten War", using the examples below as guides. I will have my own list that will use to compare to yours - hopefully you will ge most of the facts on my list! At least 2 of the facts should be about the CAUSES of the war, at least 3 of the facts should be about the WAR itself, and at least 2 facts should be about the EFFECTS OR IMPACT of the war. The other two can be from any category.** //<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">United Nations into a peacekeeping effort in Asia //<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">//<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">. // (ooooh, that's good - so good)
