The United States Intervention in the South Asia
Talking about the United States in the Asian region is often related to war basing on the history of the military action in the area. The 1960 and 70s marked a period of cold war, and the United States was taking measures to win the trust of regions and show political and economic dominance across the globe. The intervention of the US at that period differs from the response in other parts at that time and in the modern days due to multiple reasons. The civil and military action in the region was geared towards the communists with the country intervening against communism (Del Casino, Knox, Liverman, Marston, & Robbins, 2013).
The primary focus was impeding the Soviet style of politics and economics giving power to the capitalist states to solidify and establish their stability (Del Casino et al., 2013). There were threats within the region from militant insurgent groups that were likely to be sponsored by the anti-American propagates and some of the communists who were still underground. The intervention majorly resulted to the setup of capitalist states and an end to communism and the US winning support of countries of the region.
The intervention of the United States during the Korean War however as much it was centered towards communism also focused on preventing dominance of the Soviet in the region. As an act of intrusion, the action in Korea was entirely military and response to the nuclear bomb that was a monopoly of the United States. It is clear that the intervention by the Americas was a show of military might and an action to contain the growing military strength of the Soviet that was a threat to their military (Del Casino et al., 2013). It is also worth noting that the intervention in the South Asia was purely American whereas the intervention in the Korean War was United Nation-backed to uphold the rule of law.
