remember THE UN / alot of nations were involved in Protecting the South Korea had been invaded in WWII by the Japenese. US forces occupied part of Korea helping the South Koreans recover from WWII. When North Korea invaded South Korea US forces assisted in their defense until UN Forces arrived as well as more US Military aid.
