The Korean War was, in sense a "proxy" war between USSR and USA. Although it was between China, North Korea on one side and the UN forces on the other, it was actually Stalin who authorized Kim Il Sung to invade the newly formed South Korea. This war impacted the Cold War as tensions rose a large amount. It rose as the USSR was helping North Korea by giving them military aid. Tensions between the USA and Communist China also rose as China sent 500000 of its own troops (so called "volunteers": probably a propaganda move) to aid North Korea. Several US generals campaigned to invade China, but President Harry Truman objected out of fear for a World War Three.
