Question

What was Harry Truman's explanation to getting involved in the war in Korea? According to Truman why did America play a role in creating the United Nations?

Answer 1

He argued that "communism has passed beyond the use of subversion to conquer independent nations and will now use armed invasion and war." Truman's statement suggests that he believed the attack by North Korea had been part of a larger plan by communist China and, by extension, the Soviet Union.
