The attempts for trade and commerce between North and South Korea was reviewed in this source. Several times, especially in the 90s, there was many attempts for the the two countries to create peace through trade and economy and it was failed all of those times. This is a reliable source because it is from an encyclopedia, the only thing that could be wrong with this source is that it is from 2002, and several things have happened since then so I have to do additional resource. I will use this source because it shows the aftermath of the war and the relationship that has come from it.

An excellent job comparing the two countries was done with this source. It showed the difference in governments and the many ways the two conflicted.

This website is really well organized and opinionated. Since it is a secondary source, but also has a little bit of the author's opinion, I have to be careful with the information that i'm getting on this site. So far though, the site's information is legitimate. The author did a good job of sorting out how the war is perceived by everything. I will definitely use the titles they have on the site as guidelines because I think they are clever and really sum up the war well.

This website is a secondary source because the author of the site was not around during this time period of the Korean War. I like this source, but I think it’s lacking detail. It’s got a good overview, a little better than most overviews I’ve seen so far, which is nice, but now in my research I need more detail. I like the title; it’s a different point of view from what I’ve been looking at so far, so it’s interesting to read. So mainly it’s just helpful for background information, but I feel like it’s still missing something.

Still, the information that was given was credible because it overlapped with information I found from other sources. It was very easy to understand and gave a good timeframe of what went on during the Korean War.

This source was found on Gale Virtual Reference. This was a very helpful site! I found so much information on the success’ consequences, and the timeline of the Korean War. Death counts, power spreading, and a lot of information on the rulers of the countries and specific events that had occurred and what public speaking had occurred were found in this site.

This website helped me fish out all of the misleading information I could have been receiving from other sources. Most of the content in this source was background information and inside facts about what went on during the war. Several other sources I looked at after this source overlapped the information I received. This source is reliable because it is off of a government website (hence the .gov). There is little content that I may use from this source in my project but one of the things i may use is the information I received on the influence the Soviet Union had on North Korea.

This website was also found on Gale Virtual Reference, gave me information on the Domino Theory. I learned how it first started off from World War I and how extended to Asia. There was at first a communist victory in 1948 and how the Chinese Presidents wife Madame Chiang Kaishek publicly said, “If china falls, all of Asia foes.” This information was interesting reading about how if one country tries to retaliate against the government all these other countries are influenced by them and try to do the same. This source will become of use when I talk about the North Korean views on government.

This website was found on Gale Virtual Reference. It was an online copy of a book that gave viewpoints from Korean Americans who were affected by the War. It was interesting reading the different viewpoints from soldiers, to Full Koreans, to Korean Americas and how they were affected by the War and how different their views on the war were. This source was very helpful by giving me viewpoints that were from different perspectives on war from different people.

This website provided me with several original images from the Korean War such as civilian and military gatherings, war leaders, American soldiers, and weaponry that was used. The captions of these images were very helpful in helping me understand what was going on in the image. The images by themselves were very informative, but the captions helped answer any questions.

This book helped give me an inside look on the isolated country of North Korea. it helped give me a better understanding about how the governmental system works. Since North Korea does a great job on blocking out the rest of the world, the little facts I received from this source helped bring forward the lifestyle of the Koreans. This was helpful to me because it shows the aftermath of the war. This source is credible because it is originally from an encyclopedia.

This source briefly described the war and then spoke greatly on the aftermath and how the war impacted the lives of several Koreans and the two countries as a whole, along with neighboring countries as well. The most useful part was the description of what happened right after the war. this source is reliable because of the authors research was shown, as well as the fact that this source is originally a book.

In this secondary source, I was given information about several countries involvement in the Korean War. The war had great influences from China, Japan, and the Soviet Union, and all of those countries intervening with Korea is a great part of what caused the war in the first place. I believe that this will play a great roll in the overall History Day product because it contains a great deal of information. This is a reliable source because it is from a book.

This source is secondary source and it is credible because although it was found online, the original text is from a book. The authors are also listed.

Cumings, Bruce. “The Two Korean Wars.” New York: Headline Series, 1984. Print.
In this book, I was given information based on both sides of the Korean War, North & South. It also told about how the war started and what influences other outside nations had on Korea. There was also descriptions on the living conditions of the Korean s and the struggles they had to undergo during the war. This is a very useful as well as reliable source and a lot of content from this source will be used in the overall product.

This website is a secondary source because the author of the site was not around during this time period of the Korean War. It gives a general background of the Korean War and what lead up to it. This is useful because to know what lead up to the war is key. I like that this source because every this is clear and new ideas are in bold. I really like the links to the side of the site because I can gather more information. So this site will be extremely helpful for my history day project.

Being nearly the opposite of North Korea, South Korea’s governmental system is Democracy (compared to communism). This source taught me all of the differences they had in the different way the countries were governed. I will use this in my history day project because it shows another “end” situation of the war, and the aftermath of South Korea. This is a reliable source because it is from an encyclopedia.

The attempts for trade and commerce between North and South Korea was reviewed in this source. Several times, especially in the 90s, there was many attempts for the the two countries to create peace through trade and economy and it was failed all of those times. This is a reliable source because it is from an encyclopedia, the only thing that could be wrong with this source is that it is from 2002, and several things have happened since then so I have to do additional resource. I will use this source because it shows the aftermath of the war and the relationship that has come from it.

This is a website that talks about what life was like in America for farmers during the Korean War. This is important to know because how life was in America is extremely relevant to the Korean War and ties it into how it affected our nation.

An excellent job comparing the two countries was done with this source. It showed the difference in governments and the many ways the two conflicted. Before the war, it was clear the different ideas between the two sides of the country would eventually lead to the chaos it caused. I will use the information from this source in my history day product because it shows many of the leading causes of the war. This is a reliable source because it is from an encyclopedia.

This website is a secondary source because the author of the site was not around during this time period of the Korean War. This website gives multiple statistics on casualties of the Korean War. This is useful because it gives an accurate judgment of how gruesome the war really was. I like this source because it’s not like the others. It gives me different information about who was involved, how many were involved, and mainly shows the affect the war had on everyone.

This website is a secondary source because the author of the site was not around during this time period of the Korean War. The links on the side of the website are helpful to my project and my knowledge of what was going on around that time. The home page gives you the basic causes of the war, which is very straight to the point. The site is organized and everything is very clear. The pictures also give me a better understanding of the attitudes of the war and how it affected others. Overall, this source is straight to the point and organized with its information.

This source was found on Gale Virtual Reference. Gave the same information as all the other sources that I have found. Same information on Harry Truman, events that had occurred, and also when war started, when it ended, when they negotiated. I will use this information for my Project.

I found this website through the UW website, this website was filled with veterans that had served in the Korean War and were interviewed and told their experience of the war. This was a VERY useful source because I got to find out the different combat experiences people received and the different viewpoints of these American veterans and how they had personally experienced the war. This website will be very useful to me when I make my project.

This website is a secondary source because the author of the site was not around during the time period of the Korean War. But I do like this source because it has a lot of dates and some pictures. It also lists some books that I could look into for more information. So ultimately I would say this source is helpful to my project because not only does it give good background information, but also it gives me other ways to expand my knowledge on the Korean War.
"The Korean War Summary & Analysis." Shmoop: Study Guides & Teacher Resources.

This website is really well organized and opinionated. Since it is a secondary source, but also has a little bit of the author's opinion, I have to be careful with the information that i'm getting on this site. So far though, the site's information is legitimate. The author did a good job of sorting out how the war is perceived by everything. I will definitely use the titles they have on the site as guidelines because I think they are clever and really sum up the war well.
"The Korean War: The Forgotten War." The Korean War: Web. 12 Feb. 2011. <http://library.thinkquest.org/10826/korea.htm>.
This website is a secondary source because the author of the site was not around during this time period of the Korean War. I like this source, but I think it’s lacking detail. It’s got a good overview, a little better than most overviews I’ve seen so far, which is nice, but now in my research I need more detail. I like the title; it’s a different point of view from what I’ve been looking at so far, so it’s interesting to read. So mainly it’s just helpful for background information, but I feel like it’s still missing something.
“Korean War Timeline.” The Korean War. 24 Jul. 2010. 3 Feb. 2011 <http://www.rt66.com/~korteng/smallarms/timeline.htm>
This website is a secondary source because it was made after the Korean War by people who researched it. It is hard to say how reliable the source is because there were no authors listed. Still, the information that was given was credible because it overlapped with information I found from other sources. It was very easy to understand and gave a good timeframe of what went on during the Korean War.

This source was found on Gale Virtual Reference. This was a very helpful site! I found so much information on the success’ consequences, and the timeline of the Korean War. Death counts, power spreading, and a lot of information on the rulers of the countries and specific events that had occurred and what public speaking had occurred were found in this site. The information that I had found on this website was SUPER helpful for my project. I found most of my information from this one source and I will use most of the information for my project.

This source was found on Gale Virtual Reference. Gave me information on Harry S. Truman and orders he gave out to send troops to aid South Korea. He had created the Police Action and made a public order. This site wasn’t too helpful but it was nice reading about Harry Truman.

This website helped me fish out all of the misleading information I could have been receiving from other sources. Most of the content in this source was background information and inside facts about what went on during the war. Several other sources I looked at after this source overlapped the information I received. This source is reliable because it is off of a government website (hence the .gov). There is little content that I may use from this source in my project but one of the things i may use is the information I received on the influence the Soviet Union had on North Korea.

This website was also found on Gale Virtual Reference, gave me information on the Domino Theory. I learned how it first started off from World War I and how extended to Asia. There was at first a communist victory in 1948 and how the Chinese Presidents wife Madame Chiang Kaishek publicly said, “If china falls, all of Asia foes.” This information was interesting reading about how if one country tries to retaliate against the government all these other countries are influenced by them and try to do the same. This source will become of use when I talk about the North Korean views on government.

This website was found on Gale Virtual Reference. It was an online copy of a book that gave viewpoints from Korean Americans who were affected by the War. It was interesting reading the different viewpoints from soldiers, to Full Koreans, to Korean Americas and how they were affected by the War and how different their views on the war were. This source was very helpful by giving me viewpoints that were from different perspectives on war from different people. The information tat I have found will be very useful to my History Day project.

This is a map that shows North and South Korea and where the division is located, as well as two cities in South Korea. The two cities are the capital, Seoul and the city of Busan. This is credible because it is the map of Korea and it is comparable to other maps. The source had several other maps as well.

This website is a secondary source because the author of the site was not around during this time period of the Korean War. This website talks about how the Korean War never really ended. This is important to know for our project, then again I still have to further research on this and see if what this author claims is true or just opinion.

This source was found in the Shorewood library. I found a lot of information on the main cause of the Korean War. I also learned a lot of the background information of the war. Read a lot about orders that were made by either presidents of the countries, and also important events that happened. This source wasn’t too important compared to the other sources that I have found. This website just gave me the same amount of information as the other sources that I have found.
