When most countries were suffering from the heavy blows of World War II , the war did not affect U.S. in North America. At this time, it was booming, becoming stronger and richer, and thus leaping to become the overlord of the world .
Before the outbreak of World War II, its industrial production capacity could account for nearly 40% of the world. The economic conditions of were passed through the lease bill , providing military weapons and loans to its allies, greatly stimulating domestic production capacity and causing its industrial production capacity to surge.
After World War II, the United States military force
It is precisely this way, with the support of strong capital , , the United States began to frequently support , incite to other civil wars, and provides weapons and ammunition or military support, directly or indirectly inserts into the political struggles of other countries .
Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea
At that time, the only country in the world that could make the United States afraid of was the Soviet Union. Therefore, when North and South civil war fell into North and South Civil War , the United States naturally could not miss this reason to declare the strength of the United States to the world.
Volunteer Army crosses the Yalu River
US troops cross the 38° north latitude line and claimed:
"In history, the Yalu River is not a completely differentiated and insurmountable obstacle between China and North Korea."
, which is separated from North Korea by a river, China also faces serious threats. 1950 , the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China made a decision to resist the U.S. aid Korea .
1950 on the evening of October 15, 1950, the Volunteer Army Command issued a telegram to inform that Wu Ruilin, the commander of the 42nd Army, was the vanguard of the People's Volunteer Army. On the evening of the 16th, he secretly crossed the Yalu River from Ji'an and entered North Korea. Then, he quickly assembled to Changjin Lake.

After entering North Korea, he still maintained the combat method of marching at night. thus opened the prelude to the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea.
11950 , the volunteer army received instructions from superiors to enter the Changjin Lake area of North Korea to fight. Changjin Lake is the second largest artificial lake in North Korea. It is surrounded by mountains and has an average altitude of 1,300 meters. At this time, is in the severe winter of North Korea. The average temperature is as low as minus 30 degrees Celsius to minus 40 degrees Celsius. By the 27th, Changjin Lake suddenly fell heavily and the temperature dropped to more than minus 40 degrees Celsius, and the cold wind was biting.

And at that time, the US military marched along the river valley . The PLA could not set up tents or camp . If the target was slightly larger, it would be discovered by the US military's observation machine , so it could only sleep in the gullies and caves in the white snow.
volunteers hiding under the rock to eat
After sleeping at night, my shoes were all wet. When I freeze during the day, my socks and feet were frozen together. I took off my socks and my feet and tear off my feet. I couldn’t make a fire to keep warm and cook at that time, because a little flame would also attract the bombing of the plane. It was normal for to have no food for a few days to eat , and cooked potatoes will also turn into frozen potatoes with broken teeth.
Soldiers who have been frozen

Chinese People's Volunteer Army Amazing endurance and endurance overcome various difficulties that ordinary people can't imagine. For the victory of the war, the Chinese People's Volunteer Army made great sacrifices. More than 128,000 people were frostbite and more than 4,000 people were frozen to death. The series of battles in the Changjin Lake area shocked MacArthur . He had never expected that Chinese Volunteer Army was so strong and resolute.
US General MacArthur
Why is the United States afraid of leading the war to China?
MacArthur could not accept this result. In order to save face, he simply proposed to the US government to use atomic bomb .
The then president of the United States Truman From all aspects, it is naturally that rejected . So why is the United States afraid of leading the war to China?
Truman and MacArthur
First place, although the United States at that time had sufficient economic and military strength, it could not determine the final direction of the war. If this war evolved into a full-scale war, then the war cost of the United States invested by then would reach unprecedented immeasurable.
You should know that Korean War was originally just a struggle between the north and the south of the Korean Peninsula. The failure of the United States in this battle would not cause serious losses, but if the battlefield continues to be expanded to in China, it will become a real war of aggression , which is completely different in nature.
As the United States, which now has an advantage in the world, will not let itself fall into an uncontrollable situation .
Snowy battlefield
Second, if the war is burned to China, it will eventually lead to being fiercely opposed by the Soviet Union . As the leader of the socialist country camp, the Soviet Union has an important position in its own camp. Like the United States, it will also win over other socialist countries to join its camp. Then China was the second largest socialist country in the world at that time.
Chinese and Soviet flag
If there was a war in China and the United States, the Soviet Union would naturally not stand by and watch . Moreover, as a military power at that time, the Soviet Union participated in the war and would inevitably expand the war and may develop to Europe. At that time, most of the American allies were in Europe, and all countries were responsible for their own safety. Therefore, the United States would not expand the war in order to maintain its international image .
US warship
At that time, he heard that the United States would use atomic bombs on the Korean battlefield. Britain, France, Germany and other countries also sent envoys to the United States. Even former British Prime Minister Churchill were dispatched to persuade Truman not to use atomic bombs to expand the war, causing turmoil in the world and affecting countries around the world.
Third, it is the voice of internal opposition to . The United States is and the concerns of politicians. The domestic opposition to atomic bomb . Various factors make the United States not easily use nuclear weapon , because it will inevitably trigger the outbreak of World War III . The alliances composed of various countries have reshuffled the comprehensive strength. The United States may lose the wealth and military capabilities accumulated for a long time after World War II, so it will not and cannot bear such risks.
Warriors in combat
After considering these factors, we can naturally understand why the arrogant United States defaulted on the failure of the Korean War and did not dare to lead the battlefield to China. We can also understand what Truman was afraid of.
Only when you become strong can the enemy be afraid of
Truman and MacArthur actually have selfish intentions. This kind of war to satisfy their ambitions and desires is destined to be in . However, Truman and MacArthur have different perspectives. Truman needs to think from the perspective of the long-term and sustainable development of the country.
MacArthur, deployed and commanded, has also shown its strength to the world. Our People's Volunteer Army is not afraid of danger, not afraid of hardship, and has the tenacity of . In many touching events, the soldiers sacrifice themselves for their country and sacrifice their lives bravely. They are all worthy of our highest respect and respect for .
