EEC article attempt

Commonly, we call the Europe Economy Community the Common Market. It’s got quite the history, starting from the Council of Europe in 1949, to the Euratom in 1957. What motivated the creation of the Europe Economy Community –or EEC— included the limiting of the effects of really extreme nationalism, establishing a bloc of free trade, and creating a common front against our enemy, communism.

On January 1 of 1958, the EEC was born by the Treaty of Rome, grown almost directly out of the larger organization called ECSC, or European Coal and Steel Community from 1952.

Here’s some background information: It all started with the Council of Europe in 1949, with its goal being to promote unity amongst nations who had things in common between them. Even though it mostly worked in the area of human rights, Britain was not a member. From there, it moved on to the Schuman Plan of 1950. Schuman was a French Foreign Minister that had a plan to manage all steel and coal production in France and Germany, but as one unit. This was the original “common market” for coal and steel. Two years later came the European Coal and Steel Community. It was established by France, West Germany, Luxembourg, Britain, Italy, and the Netherlands. Once more, Britain refused to join because she did not trust Europe. At the same time, Britain thought she had a special relationship with our country. The European Defense Community came a little later with a plan to unite all the defenses of ECSC countries. In 1957, a plan called the Euratom was initiated. The plan was to reduce dependence on Arab oil by making other means of atomic power.  

The EEC grew more out of ECSC with a coal to "abolish obstacles to freedom of movement for person, service, and capital." Once more, Britain was not a member. In fact, she tried to persuade those who have joined EEC --or "The inner six"-- to form a lesser association. It was a failure. Britain instead formed a European Free Trade Association with "The Outer Seven" at Stockholm convention.

On January 1973, "The Inner Six" turned into nine when Ireland, Denmark, and finally, Britain joined. The UN had joined as well, with Greece at 1981, and both Spain and Portugal in 1986. Two years later, forty-six third world countries were given a tariff-free rights within the EEC.

Basically, the EEC wants to "establish a common market" and bring the economic policies of its members into alignment so that the harmonious growth of the economic activity in the whole community is promoted, there is a regular balance in expansion, stability is enhanced, closer relations between participating states are created, and the standard of living is rapidly rising.

Korean War article attempt

We all know that our country has graciously liberated the separated country of South Korea while the Soviets selfishly took over North Korea with the help of Communist China. On June 25, 1950, North Korea's Democratic People's Republic of Korea Army artillery and mortars open-fired on South Korea's Republic of Korea just south of the thirty-eighth parallel --a border set by the UN to separate North from South, making them independent nations. Tanks and infantry attacks were issued right after on all points of this border.

At approximately eleven in the morning on the same day, North Korea formally declared war on South Korea, thus initiating the Korean war. North Korea's reasoning claimed that they were merely responding to an attack in the Haeju area caused by the Republic of Korea in the Ongjin Peninsula. As far as we know, this claim is false. In defense of South Korea, our country joined the fight under the banner of the UN with small unit troops from Britain, Canada, Australia, and Turkey. The next day, Jun 26, Uijongbu falls to North Korean forces. President Syngman Rhee and the Cabinet of the South left Seoul for Taejon.

On October of 1950, China joined North Korean's side of war.

Each half of Korea created a regime, prompting the creation of a right and left wing type of government. South supported the right while North supported the left. A conflict began, centering around left's attempt to create a thorough reform of Korean's land ownership laws. The left-wing wanted it so that a small number of wealthy people owned most of the land, in turn, forcing Korean farmers to live an impoverished existence as tenant farmers. Our forces while still occupying the South side of Korean (1945-1998) responded by supressing the widespread left movement and back Syngman Rhee. Kim Il Sung supported the left-wing.
