The US fought in Korea to stop the Soviet Union from spreading communism. This was between 1950 and 1953. It was a predecessor to the Vietnam war which occurred between 1955 and 1975. Both times the US intervened in order to stop the commmunist states, North Korea and North Vietnam from taking control of the rest of the capitalist democratic states of South Korea and South Vietnam.
