what was Big enough to start Both wars?
First, both countries were occupied by Japan in World War II. Then, communists and non-communists started to occupy and, thus, split each nation into two parts. With conflcit and drama already occuring between the democratic nations and the communits nations, war didn't sound like a bad idea. For the Americans, this was a major test in making their containment policy work. More improtantly, the Americnas were involved in both wars greatly beacue they hated communism and didn't want Vietnam and Korea to become under communist control.
