PRAGER UNIVERSITY: Why Did America Fight the Korean War?

"Give us five-minutes and we’ll give you a semester." - Dennis Prager

This semester of Prager University is presented by:  Victor Davis Hanson

"Over 35,000 Americans died in the Korean War.  The war marked the first major armed conflict of the nuclear age...Was fighting the Korean War, and restoring the South, without uniting the entire peninsula worth the huge cost in blood and treasure?...The natural dividend of saving the South was the evolution of today's democratic and prosperous South Korea...South Korea is a model global citizen, and a strong ally of the U.S." – V.D.H.

"Had it not been for U.S. intervention and support to the South, the current monstrous regime in Pyongyang would now rule all of Korea, ensuring its nuclear-armed dictatorship even greater power and resources...The American effort to save South Korea also sent a message to both communist China and the Soviet Union that the free world under U.S. leadership would no longer tolerate communist military takeovers of free nations." – V.D.H.
