The Korean War

Question 2 • RMA FL-2100310-United States History Semester 2

How does President Truman respond to the hostilities on the Korean Peninsula?

Answer
A
He declares war on North Korea.
B
He orders US military assistance for South Korea.
C
He asks the United Nations to take further action.
D
He orders armed raids on the DMZ.

Explanation

After North Korea invaded South Korea in June 1950, President Truman ordered U.S. air and naval forces to support South Korea and later sent ground troops. He did not formally declare war; the intervention was described as a U.N. action, with the United States providing military assistance. Thus, the correct choice is “He orders US military assistance for South Korea.”
