Was after the WW2 Douglas MacArthur was the “commander” of the UN/US military force. When he did landing on the Inchon by the beach, that was risky and no one had done that before in the military logic. But he was relieved of his command because when he fought over the 38th parallel and he went to Yalu River, he asked president Harry Truman for permission to destroy the bridge in Yalu River. However president Harry Truman didn’t permit that, because of that the Chinese military force pushed them back to the 38th parallel.

His father is a shoes maker and sometime his father use the shoes for hitting Joseph Stalin, but at that time at USSR the government let the parent to hit there kids.

When he going to school his teacher was very scary, because his teacher said if the student looked at anything in the room teacher will hit him, because the teacher said if don’t look at people, that mean don’t respect someone, but Joseph Stalin so when he get older if someone don’t look at him when he talking that person will be a target of Joseph Stalin.

Joseph Stalin think every body want to kill him, so when he went to somewhere every time Joseph Stalin drive the car, and he think that Prisoner Of War (POW) is spy, so when the POW come back from Nazi, a lot of them are kill by Joseph Stalin.

One day at midnight the dog was barking, and Joseph Stalin was woken up by that, next day Joseph Stalin called the soldier to kill that dog. When the solder killed that dog, the solder said that was a guide dog, when Joseph Stalin knew that, he told the solder to kill the person that was blind. When he was eating he suddenly heard a gun noise and he suddenly smiled. This shows he was a ruthless man.

Joseph Stalin supported North Korea because in WW2 Japan was taking over Korea, but USSR wanted Korea, and USSR said, “If you don’t give us Korea to us we will fight against you” but Japan didn’t give all of Korea to them - they split Korea into North Korea and South Korea and Japan give North Korea to the USSR. That is why North Korea is a communist country. When South Korea said they would attack North Korea, North Korea asked help from the USSR because they are some communists. Joseph Stalin replied that they would support North Korea’s fight against South Korea and USA. Stalin provided weapons and solders. That is why Stalin is connected with the Korean War.
