The Korean war was a war fought between two armies from North Korea and South Korea in 1950. Kim Il Sung led his people with China and the USSR backing North Korea up. South Korea, on the other hand, is led by Syngman Rhee, backed up by mostly the United States. In 1950, North Korean armies crossed the borders of the 38th parallel, marking the start of the Korean War. The United Nations responded fast to this communism and capitalist war. The Security Council called for a ceasefire and immediately adopted a resolution in which the USSR boycotted. With the USSR withdrawing their veto rights in the Security Council, the United Nations took action upon this warfare. With the US providing the most military support along with the other nations in the UN, troops were sent to South Korea to ‘roll back’ the communist party. During the Korean War, the pattern of continuity would represent the context of the broader cold war.
Comparing continuity and changes in the context of the broader Cold War. Patterns of continuity are more frequently presented, as for the patterns of changes are less frequent. Obviously, communists have been trying to establish collectivization, spreading communism, and to stop capitalism from influencing the world. Communists see Capitalists as a threat to the world. Conversely, capitalists view them as the same. Throughout the Cold War, tensions between communists and capitalists had been going on continuously. Taking the Berlin Blockade during the Cold War, for example, it is clear that it separated Berlin into two sides –the west and the east. The west side representing capitalists, and the east representing communism. Both ideologies were opposing to each other and were trying to prevent any possible spreads to the world. Similar to the Korean War, North Korea was basically playing the role of communists and South Korea as the capitalists. Another example representing the pattern of continuity would be the approach to request aid from other countries. During the Korean War, the USSR and the United States were both asked for support the two countries at war, North Korea and South Korea. This pattern of continuity is also presented during the Berlin Blockade when the US were sending in supplies by air to West Berlin.
One of the examples that represents the pattern of changes during the Korean War would be drafting a resolution that involves other countries to participate in the Korean War. With the USSR withdrawing from such an important issue, this is also the first resolution that passed in the Security Council since the United Nations were established.
With much fewer events representing the pattern of change, drafting the first resolution since the Security Council has been established; the pattern of continuity, stronger countries providing aid to smaller countries and the opposing ideologies, represents more in the context of the broader Cold War
