South Korea invaded North Korea to try to reunite the country?

South Korea did not initiate an invasion of North Korea. The Korean War was initially started by the invasion of an ill-prepared South Korea by the (North) Korean People's Army on June 25th, 1950. This was because North Korean leader Kim Il Sung wanted to unite the two factions of Korea that had been developed under the division of responsibility for postwar occupation forces between the US and Soviet Union. It is true that after UN intervention saved the South Koreans from a full-out defeat, UN-led forces entered North Korea and reached as far north as the border with China in some locations prior to the Chinese intervention. This part of the war could be classified as a counter-invasion.
