Although there is no open conflict between North and South Korea nowadays, a formal peace agreement was never signed. On July 27, 1953, an armistice was signed, which allowed the fighting to stop and the prisoners of war to return to their homes. However, Korea remains a divided country.

The United States was an ally of South Korea during the Korean War. This was due to the American interest of stopping the spread of communism. As North Korea had (and continues to have) a communist government, the U.S. saw this as a threat. On the other hand, North Korea was backed by the Soviet Union.

The Truman Doctrine was a political plan to try to keep communism from spreading into more countries. Although it usually did not involve military intervention, it promised the defense of capitalist countries through economic help. This signals the beginning of the Cold War.

The Marshall Plan was a program that provided aid to European nations in order to help them recover after the Second World War. This was implemented due to humanitarian reasons, as well as economic interests. The United States wanted to ensure there was a market for its products. The Marshall plan was essential in helping the continent recover.

President Harry Truman was responsible for integrating the United States armed forces. In 1948, he submitted the first comprehensive civil rights legislation. He also issued Executive Orders that allowed racial integration in the military and federal agencies.

honeslty bro its the same thing

the bar kochba rebellion (132-135) against the roman empire, also known as the second jewish-roman war, was the second major jewish revolt in judea and the last of the great jewish-roman wars.

after the first jewish-roman war of the years 66-73, the roman authorities took measures to crush any new attempt of rebellion in judea. his political situation was modified and instead of a prefect a governor of praetorian rank was appointed, and in the ruins of jerusalem the seat of a complete roman legion, the legio x fretensis was established.

the political and religious direction of the jewish people was left in the hands of the sanhedrin, with initial headquarters in yavne.

the direct causes of the rebellion vary according to the source. the roman historian dio cassius (155-229) attributes the revolt to the decision of hadrian to found in the place of jerusalem a roman city called aelia capitolina (aelia by its own name and capitolina in honor of the roman god jupiter). on the other hand, the jewish sources, while recognizing this resolution as true, assign higher priority to the decrees dictated by hadrian that forbade the brit milah (circumcision), the respect of the sabbath and the laws of purity in the family.

hadrian's intention was to "civilize" and incorporate the jews once and for all into the greco-roman culture. for greek and roman culture, circumcision was an intolerable mutilation.

the jewish tradition tells in the midrash tanjuma a meeting between rabbi akiva and the governor turnus rufus, where he asked for an explanation about the circumcision.

an additional legion, the legio vi ferrata, moved to the province to maintain order, and work began in the year 131 after the governor of judea, turnus rufus performed the founding ceremony of aelia capitolina. a roman coin with the inscription aelia capitolina was struck in the year 132.

the tannaim rabbi akiva, who without being named nasi directed the sanhedrin, convinced the other members to support the imminent rebellion.

the jewish leaders carefully planned the second rebellion to avoid the numerous errors that had been committed in the first one. in the year 132 the rebellion led by bar kochba quickly expanded from modiim throughout the country, defeating the x roman legion based in jerusalem and destroying the xxii roman legion that had come from egypt.
