Korean Car Industry.
MG 611 Dr. Linda Carr First Individual report Park, Jaeyong January 28th , 2004 Introduction Korean Car Industry began in 1970's. Back then we couldn't make anything by ourselves. We didn't have technology, source and know-how. But we tried hard to make good cars. The Korean car history is not very long, they somehow made their way up until now and I want to introduce the brief history of Hyundai Motor Company, the leader in the Korean Car Industry. Hyundai Motor was established in 1967 by the Hyundai group. However, for a long period it was just producing cars based on the design supplied by Ford UK. The first self-developed model was the 74 Pony, but under the guidance of Mitsubishi. Engines also came from the Japanese design, while the styling was penned by Italian design. The car earned Hyundai the name as the biggest Korean car maker which is still unchallenged today. The second generation Pony of 1982 marked another milestone: the first large scale export. Like the Japanese, Koreans industry was (and still is) very export-oriented. The Pony small car, benefited by the wage advantage of Korea labors, stormed the Canadian small car market in 1983. The world started to realize the rise of another Eastern car making nation. The first self-designed engine appeared in 1991, which signaled the "real" autonomy of R&D. Sales continued to grow in the whole 90's as model
Why did the USA become involved in the Korean War in the years 1950-53?
Why did the USA become involved in the Korean War in the years 1950-53? After the end of the Second World War the two war time allies THE USA and SU became involved in a war of ideologies the cold war. The US saw communism as a threat to democracy and capitalism. Therefore the US set out a new foreign policy that was of containment of communism in the Truman doctrine. There were however other reasons for the USA's involvement such as their military confidence, UN agreement, domestic pressure which called for the T admin to be more tough on communism and their economic interest in Japan which led to the US governments decision to use military intervention in the K war. The main reason for the USA's military intervention in the Korean war was that of containment. The American aims was to work with its allies to contain the spread of soviet and communist Chinese power using political, economic and if necessary military pressures. Any failure of containment was potentially disastrous. According to the USA the loss of SK might well lead to a chain reaction leading to the loss of much of the rest of Asia, including Japan. This was called the domino theory. As a result of the policy of containment, in 1950 Truman needed a crisis to sell the NSC 68 program which said the US needed to increase its conventional armed forces significantly to put them in par with those of the SU.

Using Sources A-C to explain why the U.S.A. became involved in the Korean War.
Louise Todd 11I 04.12.02 History homework. Using Sources A-C to explain why the U.S.A. became involved in the Korean War: * Source A compares the rise of Communism throughout Asia to a ten pin bowling game. In this instance, the Soviet Union is the hard-hitting, ambitious bowler and the head of the pins is China, recently turned into a Communist state. The idea of the ten pin bowling game is the same as the domino theory, If one country turns Communist, then it is likely that it's neighbours will do so. In this situation it seemed inevitable that the second row of pins: Burma and Vietnam would be knocked down by the Soviet Union. The remaining pins in the third row: Thailand, Malaya and Indonesia were also vulnerable and likely to topple. * Source B part a is part of a speech made by The commander-in-chief of the U.S.A. General MacArthur in 1951, explaining why he wanted to make attacks across the Chinese border. MacArthur believed that Communists conspirators in Asia had chosen to make a play for a global conquest. He believed that if the war to Communism were lost in Asia, the fall of Europe would be inevitable. MacArthur wanted to use atomic weapons in Asia. He drew up a list of targets for which he needed a total of 26 atomic bombs. He also wanted four more bombs dropped on the Chinese forces. * Source C is from the memoirs of the English Prime minister
Why did the United States become so deeply involved in the Korean War in the years 1950-53?
Why did the United States become so deeply involved in the Korean War in the years 1950-53? Relative to the years 1950-53 it’s apparent that there are numerous factors that contribute to why the US became so heavily comprised in the Korean War. Primarily, the Soviet Union posed a huge communist threat that stemmed from military uprising during World War II. The National Security Council Report 68 (NSC-68) increased involvement because Truman deemed military engagement as a necessity to ultimately limit the spread the communism that of which had posed a threat for many years. Moreover, MacArthur’s strategy of ordering UN forces north of the 38th parallel China was highly relevant particularly for Truman who wanted to seem tough on communism following the securing China as a communist state under the leadership of Mao. Additionally, a general fear that South Korea might fall to advancing North Korean forces amplified the sense the hysteria that co-existed within capitalism and made the element of ‘Red Scare’ an increasingly worrying issue. However, in order to assess the full extent of this argument, further factors and reasons for increased US involvement must be considered. Truman’s persistence to limit to spread of communist tyranny remained a factor that largely contributed to deeper US involvement in the years 1950-53. The Truman Doctrine of 1947 adopted the
To what extent was the Korean conflict of 1950 to 1953 a 'turning point' in the Cold War
To what extent was the Korean conflict of 1950 to 1953 a 'turning point' in the Cold War? The beginnings of the Cold War, the period between 1945 and 1949, were fraught with a mutual tension and distrust sustained chiefly by the bold, economically expansionist policies of the USA and the defensive, albeit retaliatory, responses of the Soviet Union. Until 1950, America had relied upon her own currency in curtailing what she perceived as the spread of communist influence. The start of the Korean War, however, saw the revampment of American policy and the globalisation, as well as the exacerbation, of the existing superpower tension. As such, to a large extent, the Korean conflict was a departure from previous trends in the American-Soviet conflict. In reaffirmation of my stand is the fact that the battlefield had expanded beyond the borders of continental Europe into the environmentally hostile regions of Korea, and that the participants of this 'new' Cold War were no longer confined to the superpowers themselves. At the same time, though only to a slight degree, the Korean War was still reminiscent of the old, European Cold War, as manifested by Truman's citing of the Domino Theory in the face of an invasion of South Korea by the communist North, a typical instance of American failure to fully grasp the situation with which they are dealing. Of foremost importance to the
What have been the sources of Korean economic growth and how would you explain the recent crisis of the Korean economy?
Rajiv Sheth What have been the sources of Korean economic growth and how would you explain the recent crisis of the Korean economy? The Collins Dictionary of economics defines economic growth as the growth of real output over time. Growth is desirable as it implies that households will consume more private goods and services, therefore also improve the standard of living of that particular country. In order to achieve economic growth three factor inputs are necessary to increase the 'supply side' of an economy: an increase of resources e.g. labour and capital, an increase of efficiency and productivity of all resources employed and technological advancement. It is my intention to examine the specific sources that have aided the rapid growth of South Korea and discuss of how the process of rapid industrialisation and growth had lead to the fall of the 'Asian Miracle'. It is evident that the state has played a major role in the development of South Korea. This level of control and guidance is evident from the industrial polices implemented throughout the 1960's till the 1990's, to the methods the state employed to disciple businesses and creation of the Chaebol (large conglomerates). The industrial policies were implemented and adapted during three different stages. The first was during the 1960's and 1970's where the six key industries were developed, hence the increase
To what extent was involvement of USA in Korean War Different from its involvement in the Vietnam War?
To what extent was involvement of USA in Korean War Different from its involvement in the Vietnam War? In the 40´s onwards USA got interested in Asian affairs. Taking into account the fact that they were not defending themselves or any other American ally, they had to further extend territorial boundaries to fall on political-ideological frontiers. Indeed, they were defending its territory from enemies in a new scale: the fear against the developing communism over the world. In these lines, Korea and Vietnam portrayed two international hotspots now focused on Asia, as the stage within the fight of the two global powers: USA and the Soviet Union. Anyways, were the circumstances by which USA faced communism in both countries different? First of all, the background in South-East Asia determined in great scale American intervention in the area, since either country were occupied by other foreign powers: while Korea was under Japanese domination, Vietnam still remained part of the French empire (later becoming member of the French Union). The first case of Korea was already been the stage of the war between democracy and communism. USA was quite anxious since the conflict that had already happened in Germany and the one that was going on in Turkey and Greece, both cases falling under soviet beliefs. After the defeat of the Chinese Kuomintang in 1949, by communist Mao,
What were the intentions of President Harry S. Truman and General Douglas MacArthur regarding the United States intervention during the Korean War?
What were the intentions of President Harry S. Truman and General Douglas MacArthur regarding the United States' intervention during the Korean War? Word Count: 3,967 Abstract The aftermath of the Korean War still directly affects the relationship between North and South Korea and their citizens. As the only divided nation which is still at war in theory, analyzing the origin of division, the impacts of Korean War, and the intentions of major figures are significant for both North and South Korea. After providing the basic background and the course of the Korean War, two opposing viewpoints on the United States' intervention in the Korean War are presented. Therefore, my investigation ultimately leads to one research question: What were the intentions of President Harry S. Truman and General Douglas MacArthur regarding the United States' intervention during the Korean War? Both primary and secondary sources were incorporated in the investigation to analyze two contrary viewpoints on the intentions of Truman and MacArthur. The experts and historians focus on the United States' initial standing on October 7, 1950, in General Assembly of the United Nations to unify Korea under a democratic government. In addition, they elaborate on MacArthur's great success in the Inchon landing and consider him a war hero. On the other hand, other historians quote the MacArthur hearing to
Causes of World War 1
World War One or 'The Great War' and its causes are still a hotly debated subject till today. There are many important causes and reasons for the war, some more important than others. Not only did the war cause a lot of disruption, chaos and death, it also set the scene for other wars to take place, which is one main reason why it was so significant in History. Many of the causes link and relate to each other and have different relative importance, when compared, to contributing to the outbreak of a war. One of the first and long-term and extremely important cause to the outbreak of World War One starts back in 1870 with the Franco-Prussian War. During the long and pressuring Franco-Prussian war, France lost to Germany which led to France gaining a mutual hate and lust for revenge against Germany, for grabbing a great stretch of French land 'Alsace-Lorrain'. Once the war was over it lead to the forming of the triple Alliance which was one of the main alliances during the First World War. The Triple alliance was made up of the countries - Germany, Austria-Hungary and Italy, and it was first formed because Germany needed help to guard Alsace-Lorrain from France as France wanted to get it back. This alliance caused and led to a lot of tension and pressure between neighbouring countries, splitting Europe apart and resulting in the eventual formation of the Triple Entente, the
