The Korean War began when North Korea invaded South Korea on June 25, 1950. communist North Korea had been ruled by Soviet Russia since the end of World War II, while South Korea was still under Japanese colonial rule. When Japan surrendered to the Allies in August 1945, Soviet troops entered North Korea and American troops entered the south, creating a de facto division of the peninsula at the 38th parallel. In 1948, two separate governments were established in North and South Korea.<\/p>\n

In 1950, North Korea invaded South Korea in an attempt to reunify the peninsula under communist rule. The war lasted three years and ended in a stalemate, with North and South Korea remaining divided.<\/p>\n

Why did North Korea invade South Korea? <\/h2>\n

The North Korean invasion of South Korea was an attempt to militarily conquer and unify the Korean Peninsula under the communist North Korean regime. President Harry S. Truman was concerned that the Soviet Union and Communist China might have encouraged this invasion, and he ordered a U.S. military intervention to support the South Korean government. The United Nations also passed a resolution calling for member states to assist South Korea, and a UN force led by the United States pushed the North Koreans back to the North. The war eventually resulted in a stalemate, with an armistice being signed in 1953.<\/p>\n

North Korea invaded the South on 25 June 1950, and swiftly overran most of the country. In September 1950, United Nations force, led by the US, intervened to defend the South, and following the Incheon Landing and breakout from the Pusan Perimeter, rapidly advanced into North Korea. Despite heavy casualties, the UN forces were able to drive the North Koreans back to the Chinese border. In October 1950, Chinese forces intervened in the war on behalf of North Korea, and pushed the UN forces back south. The war then settled into a stalemate, with both sides dug in along a line of fortified positions known as the DMZ.<\/p>\n
