What year did US troops have to be sent to South Korea because it was invaded by North Korea?

Why North Korea didn't collapse?

North Korea didn't collapse because they still have a strong army. When the Korean War had started, North Korea with the help of China had a lot of weapons. However, the fighting had stopped. NOT the war. They aren't fighting, but it's cold. North Korea shows off about their strength. Every year they have marches with soldiers and men. But now, South Korea is attracting many tourists and South Korea is a rich and well living country. North Korea might be poor, and it isn't very modern. But it has places that are even more beautiful than South Korea.


What provoked the Korean War?

My answer is like this: Korea was under Japan during the World War. But when the USA threw nuclear bombs, Japan had to surrender because of its losses. So thus, Korea was left divided into North Korea and South Korea. Since North Korea is a communist, it went to USSR (Russia) and South Korea went to USA. North Korea used to keep invading South Korea to make it too come under a communist influence.So, South Korea went to ask help from the UN. So..this is the Korean Crisis.. :)


When was Korea established?

North Korea was founded when WW2 ended in 1945. Korea was divided up between the communist world and the free world; just as Germany was divided the same year by the same people...East and West Germany.
