The attack by forces from North Korea in 1950, sent the troops of the Republic of Korea (South Korea) reeling in retreat. In a short time the United Nations declared that this act of war would be met with forces military forces of the many members of the UN. One factor that helped contain, or even cause a retreat of North Korean forces was an ingenious flanking attack headed by US General MacArthur. In 1950 MacArthur decided to launch a flanking attack on the North Korean troops at Inchon. This was on the western coast of the Korean peninsula well behind North Koren lines. UN forces under MacArthur's command consisted of warships, air attacks and an amphibian landing at Inchon.

What body declared war in Korea?

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.
