Syngman Rhee. Rhee had originally been an opponent of Japanese occupation in Korea (from 1910 to 1945). He had lived in exile in the United States for many years and studied at several American Universities. He became President of the Republic of Korea in 1948 and assumed dictorial powers during the Korean War. He was eventually forced to resign in 1960 after protests over his rigging of elections.
As a staunch anti-Communist, Rhee was supported by the Americans and the West, but he remains controversial due to the number of civilians who died during his attempts to purge South Korea of Communists.

140 thousand south Koreans, 36516 Americans, about 3000 America's allies and 400 thousand north Koreans.
South Koreans.
One estimate is about 2 million South Korean civilians, and 660,000 South Korean soldiers.
There were Koreans to begin with for Korean War to begin. Without Koreans the war wouldn't happen right?
42.4 thousand died in the Korean war
The Korean War started on June 25,1950 when the North Koreans invaded the South.
Well the Korean War was basically the war between the North Korea and South Korea, as the name Korean War says, which meant that Koreans were the cause of the war and was the one that fought in war.
why the Korean war started is because the North Koreans wanted the South Korean part of Korea "Communist, but the South Koreans believed in "Freedom". So the North Koreans decided to attack the South Koreans, because the North Koreans wanted there government to be incharge, on June 23rd 1950. That's what I think, I hope you understood that.

it was the United Nations, including the U.S., that ASSISTED the South Koreans during the Korean War.....

No, the Americans fought the communist North
cause it was between the northern Koreans and southern Koreans..?
The US reinforced the South Koreans and fought northward into North Korea.
A better question is..."why do North Koreans love tyranny?".
