Extract from US President Truman's Memoirs, 1956 :

Communism was acting in Korea just as Hitler, Mussolini and the Japanese had acted ten, fifteen and twenty years ago. I felt certain that if South Korea was allowed to fall Communist leaders would be encouraged to invade nations closer to our shores.
