	THE CONFLICT HELIX AND A KOREAN WAR
		The conflict helix is a general process whereby states such as China and the Soviet Union or the two Koreas establish and maintain the understandings, accommodations, and agreements that enable them to cooperate and satisfy their interests.
		Conflict therefore achieves a new balance of powers, such as the post Korean War balance between the Koreas or that of the Sino-Soviet balance achieved through their border clashes and confrontations of the 60s.
		The course of Korean conflict and cooperation is, of course, highly dependent upon North Korea-American relations; and it is secondarily dependent upon the Soviet-North Korea helix and the South Korea-United States one.

		MacArthur was faced with a daunting task: to build a coalition army that could defeat the North Koreans, thus saving the ROK, while confining the violence to the Korean Peninsula and keeping the Soviet Union and China out of the war.
		MacArthur's troops were able to slow the North Korean advance and then pull back behind the Pusan perimeter in the far south while awaiting reinforcements and preparing to stage an amphibious invasion at Inchon-the UN capture of which MacArthur believed would force surrender by the Communists.
		The successful amphibious operation at Inchon caused the communists to retreat from Seoul, while the Eighth Army was able to break out from Pusan and join up with other UN forces to push the Communists back over the 38th parallel-the line dividing the two Koreas since 1945.
