"It is clear that America's involvement in Korea corresponded well to the Truman Doctrine and the overall idea of containment. However, it is questionable whether it made America stronger or weaker in its competition against Communism. Using your knowledge of the War (from the book and handouts I gave you, as well as our class discussion) and your knowledge of the Constitutional issues that played out during the war (there were two major issues that we discussed), make an argument for or against the idea that the Korean War strengthened us in our global war against the spread of Communism."
