In what ways do you think the Korean conflict symbolized the greater conflict between the U. S. and the Soviet Union?

The Korean conflict symbolized the fight and intolerance between the communism and capitalism.

Explanation:

The Korean conflict occurred at the beginning of the Cold War. There were two main movements in the country, one being the nationalist which was striding toward capitalism and the other one as the communist which was striding toward command economy. In many ways the two sides represented the East and the West just in local terms.

The North wanted to shape the country in accordance to the USSR, while the South wanted to shape the country in Western manner. This resulted in a military conflict between the two which ended with division of the country into two separate countries, North Korea and South Korea. It represented the USSR and the US in smaller terms as once the border was set there was no movement, communication, trade etc. between the two, only tensions and threat of another war while each side moved into its own direction.
