Detailed explanation-1: -The basic idea was that the American’s needed to prevent the first domino from falling (country turning to communism) in order to prevent the spread of communism. As such, historians now argue that the United States used the Domino Theory to justify its involvement in Korea, just as it did in the later Vietnam War.
Detailed explanation-2: -Why did the United States get involved in the conflicts in the Koreas and Vietnam? Involvement was an extension of the containment policy against Communism. How did Iran play a role in the early Cold War? Allied pressure caused the removal of Soviet troops, who had attempted to secure access to oil, from Iran.
Detailed explanation-3: -Following North Korea’s invasion of South Korea, the United Nations convened to formulate a response, demanding North Korea’s immediate withdrawal. United States Army General Douglas MacArthur was appointed supreme commander of U.N. forces.
Detailed explanation-4: -It was the United States that became involved in the Korean War to stop the spread of communism, since this war occurred during the Cold War, in which the US and Russia were battling for dominance. The correct answer is: “the United States".
