| description | The document is a relection on the participation of Colombia in the war of Korea and the political implications it brought to the country. Such participation generated much controversy in Colombia because this decision turned the nation into the only Latin American country that cooperated with the North American cause to defeat the expansion of communism. In this geopolitical context of the Cold War, the so called“satellite wars” began, sponsored by the United States and the former Soviet Union. The Colombian circulating press was widely relevant for this study in political history. It allowed to monitor the development of this armed confrontation from the perspective of Colombian soldiers in Korea, and to relect about what this intervention achieved for the army and the country. In general terms, the ideological race of the UnitedStates and the USSR that began after World War Second, involved many third world nations into the agitated political world order, polarizing their political relationships. |

El texto hace una reflexión sobre la participación de Colombia en la Guerra de Corea y las implicaciones políticas que tuvo para el país. Dicha participación generó mucha polémica porque Colombia fue el único país latinoamericano que colaboró con la causa norteamericana para derrotar la expansión del comunismo. En este contexto geopolítico de la Guerra Fría se iniciaron las llamadas “guerras satélite” patrocinadas por los Estados Unidos y la extinta Unión Soviética. Para este estudio, la prensa de circulación colombiana es de gran relevancia porque permite hacer seguimiento al desarrollo de esa confrontación armada, desde la perspectiva de los soldados colombianos y lo que esta intervención le dejó al Ejército y al país. En términos generales la competencia ideológica de Estados Unidos y la URSS, que inició tras la Segunda Guerra Mundial, vinculó a muchas naciones tercermundistas en la coyuntura del agitado orden político mundial y polarizó sus relaciones políticas. Ce texte propose une rélexion à propos de la participation de la Colombie dans la Guerre de Corée et des implications politiques qu’elle a eues pour le pays. Cette participation a suscité de vives polémiques parce que la Colombie a été le seul payslatino-américain à s’engager dans la cause nord-américaine dont le but était de stopper l’expansion du communisme. C’est dans le contexte géopolitique de la Guerre Froide qu’ont débuté certaines guerres dites “satellites”, parrainées par les Etats-Unis et la disparue Union Soviétique. Pour cette étude, est d’une grande importance la presse colombienne qui permet de suivre au pas le développement de cette confrontation du point de vue des soldats colombiens, et d’analyser les conséquencesde cette intervention tant pour l’Armée que pour la Colombie. En somme, la dispute idéologique des Etats-Unis et de l’Union Soviétique, entamée dès la in de la Deuxième Guerre Mondiale a entraîné beaucoup de nations du Tiers-monde dans la conjoncture mondial d’un ordre politique trouble, en polarisant leurs relations politiques.
