Question

Write several paragraphs that explain your opinion about the role of the UN in relation to the Korean War--was it wise or unwise? Did it provide enough benefit for the additional difficulties it produces?

Answer 1

The United Nations Command (UNC) provided the core military and strategic direction for the anti-communist war effort in Korea. In 1950 the armed forces of the Republic of Korea (ROK) numbered 95,000. They were poorly equipped and there was no air force. The army had no experience of combat against regular land forces.
