In April, 1950, Harry Truman gave a speech in which he
announce the names of those countries which we would
go to war to protect them from an invasion by a
communist country.
The list was very long, encompassing nearly half the
world.
Conspicuous by it's absence from that list was the country
of South Korea.
North Korea had been building up a massive war machine
for the purpose of some day conquering South Korea.
President Truman's speech amounted to an open invitation
to the North Korean leaders to go ahead and launch their
invasion. President Truman's speech assured them the United would do nothing to stop them.
Toward the end of June, 1950, North Korea launched their
invasion. A few days later President Truman had a change
of heart and called on the United Nations to put a stop to
the North Korean invasion. The United States became the
major country to assist the United Nations in this effort.
Question: Would North Korea have invaded South Korea
if President Truman had not made his protection speech?
No doubt at some point they would have seen an opportunity
open up for them to do just that but it is extremely doubtful
they would have launched their invasion when the did, if
they had not been assured the United States would not
oppose them.
I have to personally thank President Truman for his speech. Without it I would not have gone into the Air Force a few months later and would not have met my wife Annie. My three children, my four grandchildren and my great grandchild would not have been born so I have many reasons to
announce the names of those countries which we would
go to war to protect them from an invasion by a
communist country.
