Detailed explanation-1: -The Korean War and the Vietnam War-both “proxy wars” between the communist and capitalist camps and therefore significant parts of the Cold War-are among the fiercest military conflicts of the last century.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Korean and Vietnam war are very similar in that both were the US’s attempt to fight communism by waging war in a distant third world country. Both wars were unpopular in the US and both led to a lack of victory.
Detailed explanation-3: -Some of the similarities are striking. In both Vietnam and Korea the Communist and Western powers had divided their cold war ambitions by making two countries out of one, artificially setting the boundary along a mythical line of latitude.
Detailed explanation-4: -How were the Vietnam War and the Korean War similar? They were both wars where the United States was fighting the Soviet Union. They were both fought to keep a communist country from taking over a noncommunist country. They were both examples of wars where nuclear weapons were used.
