The North fought to get South Korea into a communism government. They started losing but The US helped supply the South.

This pictured showed that the U.S. helping the South by providing them with more advanced weapons that really turned the tide of the war. ]]> 2017-12-12 15:37:03 UTC https://padlet.com/20196021/e4vsc6ge7w56/wish/215462868 20196021 https://padlet.com/20196021/e4vsc6ge7w56/wish/215805442 The US federal government authorized the Interstate Highway Act in June 1956, and construction had begun by the fall of that same year.The bill created a 41,000-mile “National System of Interstate and Defense Highways” that would, eliminate unsafe roads, inefficient routes, traffic jams and all of the other things that got in the way of speeding, safe transcontinental travel.
