they were pushed too..., dont ask us, its your homework. omg, always lookin for the easy way
In 1950 when they invaded S. Korea. Then they were pushed back to the Yalu river; at which point the Chinese Communists (Chicom) entered the war and pushed the UN back again. The see-saw war commenced (back and forth war).
South Koreans had little weapons and military because the Korean war took place soon after WWII. WWII ended in 1945 and the Korean war started in 1950. So South Korea was still "recovering" from the second world war. Many South Korean cities were bombed or heavily damaged as the North Koreans invaded. It was also hard because the homes were distroyed and children were separated from there parents and wound up left in the street. It was a very hard time for South Korea. The North Koreans were at first unchecked in their invasion of the South, however, once the United Nations cited North Korea as the aggressors and authorized UN members to stop the invasion the situation changed. UN forces, led by the US military pushed the invaders back into the North. It was then that North Korean civilians were victims of collateral damages. When Communist China aided the North Korean communists, the situation for the latter two nations improved.
Taking place in 1950-1953, the Korean War offers to contemporary observers any number of interesting facts. One would be the dramatic swing of fortunes of the adversaries: initially pushed back to a small area in the deep south of what would eventually become South Korea, the South Korean forces (aided by troops from various Western nations) pushed back the North Korean invaders all the way to the border of China in the north. In turn, aided by Chinese troops, the North Koreans once again took to the offensive: they advanced to the famous 38th parallel before the war came to a halt.
They pushed them so far down that by 1950 Pusan was the only major city that the North Koreans had not taken. Pusan is a port city is southern South Korea.
First, the North Koreans tried to push their dictatorship into South Korea, which was occupied by American forces, so the Cold War began. But after General Douglas MacArthur pushed their forces to the border of China, and China got slightly involved, and then kind of "retreated", the Korean war began. It ended with the North Koreans making a ceasefire, or a treaty, with South Korea and America in 1953 shortly after Dwight D. Eisenhower became president.
The highlight was when the US/Allies pushed the North Koreans up to the Red Chinese border. The bad part was when Red China entered the war, and pushed the US/Allies back down again.

China sent hundreds of thousands of troops.

The war was an epic seesaw of control over the Korean Peninsula American/UN-South Korean joint forces were once able to push Communist North Koreans back to the 38th Parallel and even to the Yalu River near China. However, during one period of the war, prior to General MacArthur's famous amphibious launch at Inchon North Korean "Reds" cornered American/UN-South Korean forces in the southern city of Pusan (sometimes known as Busan). Pusan is currently one of the largest cities in South Korea and is the largest in south South Korea.

South Koreans, like most people, wanted a say in the politics of their own country and to have individual rights and freedoms. This is why they pushed for democracy in Korea.
Very unstable. The North almost completely overran the South, only to be pushed back to the Yalu river by the UN, until China joined and pushed the UN back south.
