The Korean War was a war of great significance for China and the United States, when New China had just been founded, and the United States and other Western countries were eyeing China, and China also won its world status by virtue of this war, so that it could gain a foothold in the arena of world politics, and for the United States, this was the first time in history that the United States did not end the war without victory, so the blow to the Americans was also very huge.
However, during the war, the Americans were not willing to lose, because the United States at that time used the atomic bomb in Japan, the Japanese casualties were assessed, and the Americans also knew that the atomic bomb was a weapon with great lethality, so in the Korean War, the Americans had thought about using atomic bombs against the volunteer army and even Chinese mainland, and the representative of them was MacArthur, who had submitted a secret document to the president of the United States, in this secret document, He believes that the United States should use 26 atomic bombs to prevent China from participating in the Korean War, so why did the United States not use atomic bombs to strike at our country in the end?
The first reason is that because the power of the atomic bomb is too great, because the people of the world have seen the power of the atomic bomb used in Japan, there are many people in the United States who oppose the use of the atomic bomb in the war, and the representative of it is Einstein, whose influence is too great, so the United States uses the atomic bomb, and it is necessary to consider the role of public opinion before striking at China. The second reason is that the Soviet Union acted as China's nuclear umbrella at that time, because China did not have an atomic bomb at that time, and the Soviet Union and China belonged to the communist camp, and Stalin also told the United States that if the United States used atomic bombs against China, it would be equivalent to using atomic bombs against the Soviet Union, and the powerful Soviet Union also made the United States very jealous. The third reason is the opposition of Western allies, the Western allies of the United States will also consider their own interests, if the United States uses atomic bombs against China, then they will be completely unable to resist the soviet steel torrent, so they strongly oppose the use of atomic bombs by the United States.
It is precisely because of the above three reasons that the United States finally gave up the idea of using atomic bombs against our country, and now that our country is rich and strong, it is no longer the time when anyone can bully us.
