(1950–1953).War came to  Korea  in 1950–53 as both a civil war on the Korean peninsula and the first military clash of the  Cold War  between forces of the  Soviet Union  and its Communist clients and the  United States  and its allies. It was, therefore, potentially the most dangerous war in world history. Even before the war against  Germany  and  Japan drew to a close in 1945, the  United States  and the  Soviet Union  assumed competing roles in shaping the postwar world. As the two undisputed victorious powers, they influenced the course of every political problem emerging from the debris of war. Unfortunately, hostility between the two powers increased at the same time and threatened the outbreak of another war, which after 1949 risked the use of atomic weapons. The conservative forces eventually coalesced in the  Republic of Korea  under the leadership of President Syngman Rhee. A North...

© Getty Images Juventus superstar Cristiano Ronaldo Cristiano Ronaldo's lawyer Peter Christiansen insisted a warrant for the Juventus superstar's DNA is a "very standard request" amid the ongoing investigation into a rape allegation. American Kathryn Mayorga has accused Ronaldo of sexually assaulting her in a hotel in Las Vegas in 2009, something the Portugal and Juventus forward has strenuously refuted. German publication Der Spiegel first reported the claims, which also included the suggestion Ronaldo paid Ms Mayorga $375,000 in 2010 as part of a privacy agreement, preventing her from going public with the allegations. Ms Mayorga filed a lawsuit in an attempt to quash that agreement while Las Vegas police have re-opened an investigation. Christiansen confirmed the payment was made to Ms Mayorga, but said some documents presented as evidence had been "stolen" and "completely fabricated", while Ronaldo described rape as an "abominable c...

The White House has directed the Army Corps of Engineers to find money is its own budget that could be used to fund the president’s desired border wall under a national emergency declaration, multiple sources familiar with the matter told ABC News. The White House has specifically asked the Army Corps of Engineers to examine what funds could be redirected to the border wall from a $13.9 billion February 2018 emergency supplemental that was designed to fund more than 50 disaster relief projects, including in California, Florida, Texas, and Puerto Rico, among other states, according to a congressional aide with knowledge of the matter. One U.S. official said the money could be used to build as much as 315 miles of border wall under the direction of the Army Corps of Engineers. The White House did not immediately respond to request for comment. President Donald Trump toured a portion of the southern border and visited with border patrol agents and local leaders in Texas on ...

The  Star-Spangled Banner  is the  national anthem  of the United States of America. To celebrate a victory over British forces during the War of 1812, U.S. soldiers raised a large American flag at Fort McHenry in Baltimore, Maryland, on September 14, 1814. Inspired by those events, Francis Scott Key wrote a poem called "Defence of Fort M'Henry," which eventually became the Star Spangled Banner and the United States national anthem.
