None, it was an undeclared war. On June 25, 1950 at 11:00 a.m., the Premier of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, Kim Il Sung, declared war on the Republic of Korea. In response to this declaration and the attack by North Korean forces across the 38th parallel, the United Nations issued a resolution calling for a cessation of hostilities and the withdrawal of North Korean military forces back across the 38th parallel. The United States responded by supporting its ally, South Korea. Ergo, the government of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea is the body that declared war on the Republic of Korea.

Did US declare war on Korea?

No. The US was a major part of the UN "police action" that primarily sought to repel the North Korean army that invaded South Korea in June, 1950. Under a UN resolution, troops from several countries were sent to fight. However, the advance of these troops into the North led to a second invasion, this time by communist China, in October, 1950. These forces were also repelled during five separate attacks through 1952. Neither the US or any UN member declared war on North Korea, which continued to depend on support from the Soviet Union and China.

Did the US Congress ever officially declare war on North Korea?

The UN became a war combatant itself after North Korea invaded South Korea on 25 June 1950 (see Korean War). The UN Security Council condemned the North Korean action by a 9-0 resolution (with the Soviet Union absent) and called upon its member nations to come to the aid of South Korea. The United States and 15 other nations formed a "UN force" to pursue this action. In a press conference on 29 June 1950, U.S. President Harry S. Truman characterized these hostilities as not being a "war" but a "police action". So no, the US never officially declared war on North Korea. Infact the United States has not officially been to war since World War II, which is the last time Congress declared war.


Did the North Koreans invade South Korea first or had the US already entered the war?

On June 25, 1950 at 11:00 a.m. Kim Il Sung, Premier of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, declared war on South Korea. This declaration of war came 7 hours after North Korean forces began the invasion of South Korea. The US had, for the most part, left Korea after assisting in the establishment of a democratic government south of the 38th parallel. There were no major US units in Korea at the time the invasion began.


Why would the North Korean leader not let South Korean people work in North Korea?

North Korea has recently declared that it is at war with South Korea. This is not really because of anything South Korea has done, but rather it is an attempt to pressure the international community which has recently enacted economic sanctions against North Korea, in an effort to discourage North Korea from pursuing its nuclear weapons program. North Korea cannot pretend to be at war with South Korea and still conduct business as usual with them. That would not make sense, and would show that the declaration of war is meaningless. Whether North Korea will take the next step, of actually invading South Korea, remains to be seen. If they do, then they will have a real war on their hands.
