About This Lesson
This powerpoint gives the highlights of the Korean War, including propaganda posters, maps, and photographs. A letter written by an American soldier is also included and is meant to illustrate the fact that to the soldiers who were fighting, this was a war - despite what the U.S. government called it. There is a Korean War song included at the end which is meant to illustrate American weariness with war while still being patriotic (which changes when they enter Vietnam).
