Description
The Korean Conflict and the Postwar World by Hajimu Masuda is a historical analysis that explores how the conflict shaped the post-war world. The end of World War II did not bring about an era of peace, but rather led to social upheaval at home and the outbreak of anticolonial wars globally. As American-Soviet relations cooled, the nature of the rivalry remained unclear. This book reveals the Korean War as a catalyst for a new postwar order. The conflict had far-reaching consequences, including the rise of a bipolar world where global and domestic order was paramount. The war also fueled fears of internal enemies and the threat of nuclear conflict, leading to a widespread perception of a Cold War reality.
