Section A

Answer Question 01.




Source A

From an editorial in the Soviet daily newspaper, Pravda, 28 June 1950.

The events in Korea reveal clearly that the imperialist warmongers will stop at nothing to
achieve their expansionist goals. Truman’s statement and actions, unprecedented in
international relations of the post-war period, constitute further evidence that the American
ruling circles no longer confine themselves to the preparation of aggression, but have
gone over to direct acts of aggression. We believe that neither the United Nations nor any 5
other international body, has authorised the government of the USA to undertake those
actions with regard to Korea and China which Truman announced yesterday. In
undertaking its openly aggressive act, the American government evidently presented the
United Nations with an irreversible action.




Source B

From a radio address to the American people by President Truman, 11 April 1951.

In the simplest terms what we are doing in Korea is this: we are trying to prevent a third
world war. It is right for us to be in Korea. It was right last June. It is right today. The
communists in the Kremlin are engaged in a monstrous conspiracy to stamp out freedom
all over the world. If they were to succeed, the United States would be numbered among
their principal victims. The USA cannot, and will not, sit idly by. The only question is: 5
when is the best time to meet the threat and how? It is easier to put out a fire when it is
small than after it has become a roaring blaze.


0 1 With reference to these sources and your understanding of the historical context, which
of these two sources is more valuable in explaining US involvement in the
Korean War?
