What event caused Truman to send American troops to Korea in 1950?
President Truman had developed the "Containment doctrine" that held that Communism must be contained within the areas it then controlled and that every effort to expand its territory further must be 'actively' resisted by the USA. The doctrine was developed after the USSR's Josef Stalin had installed puppet Communist governments in practically all of the countries in Eastern Europe where it had chased out the armies of Nazi Germany. This Truman Doctrine not only led to its involvement in the Korean War, but later also to US policy towards Cuba and finally, to US involvement in the Vietnam war. Since it was Communist North Korea that started the war by invading South Korea, this was a clear case of Communism trying to expand its territory. Since it furthermore clearly was an unprovoked invasion without any preceding declaration of war, the US had no trouble convincing the UN and its members to also come to the aid of South Korea and troops of several Western countries fought North Korea - and later the Chinese forces sent in to support the Korean army.
Why is North Korea attacking South Korea?
I'm not exactly sure why, but I know a bit. They divided because some people wanted communism, and the other wanted democracy, so they divided. But North Koreans are attacking south koreans, threatening S. Korea for food, for they are lacking of food while S. Koreans are one of the richest countries(well, almost, in economics, they are one of the highest), and south Korea just wants peace, so S. koreans give them the things they want, and try to become connected again, but the north korea's dictator won't take it.

What did the communist party do in North Korea?
The Communist party took over North Korea in 1948 and established an absolute dictatorship by Kim Il Sung, the first of the Kim dynasty. North Korea is currently run by the son of Kim Il Sung, named Kim Jong Il; one of his sons is being prepared to take over after him. Dynastic rule actually has nothing to do with communism as originally described by Karl Marx, but communism has often been used as an excuse for various forms of dictatorial abuse. As long as the dictator claims to be acting for the good of the people, he gets away with anything. The government of North Korea is known to be the last surviving Stalinist dictatorship, meaning that it is not only communist, but it is also a cult of personality, and highly paranoid and repressive. No concept of human rights exists in North Korea; only the state has rights. It is the most insane nation on Earth.
