The Korean Conflict

I think it's interesting that war was never actually declared on any part of Korea, but to many it is still viewed as a war and not a conflict. General MacArthur is the person who urged U.S. troops into the conflict between North and South Korea. At first MacArthur succeeded in his plan to invade, but he persisted that the U.S. troops continue to invade and things got much worse. Although we don't call it a "war", I think that people still like to consider it one because 34,000 Americans were killed during it. We don't picture a conflict as being something with a death toll at all, a conflict is just a disagreement and to many Korea became much more than that.
