d. the korean war was fought almost entirely by korean soldiers, but the vietnam war was fought largely by soviets.

Explanation:

The United Nations authorized and supported the United - States - led military action in the Korean War. In the Vietnam War, the United Nations did not support U.S. actions in the same way. The Vietnam War was not a colonial revolution but a Cold - War proxy war like the Korean War. The Soviet Union provided military support in both wars. The Vietnam War was fought mainly by Vietnamese and U.S. forces, not Soviets, and the Korean War involved a coalition of U.N. forces, not just Korean soldiers.

Answer:

C. The United Nations supported the actions of the United States in the Korean War but not in the Vietnam War.
