Question

1. what was the main reason president harry s. truman went to the united nations in response to the communist invasion of south korea in 1950?

a to advance u.s. political goals in the united nations
b to justify u.s. economic support for the united nations
c to seek international support for the defense of south korea
d to ask troops to prevent a political overthrow of south korea

Explanation:

After the Communist invasion of South Korea in 1950, Truman went to the UN to get international backing. The UN was a platform for collective security. By seeking UN support, the U.S. could present the defense of South Korea as a global effort rather than a unilateral U.S. action. This would give more legitimacy to the military response.

Answer:

C. to seek international support for the defense of South Korea
