It was part of the cold war.
America had been hard at work, helping to industrialize and develop the largely agricultural South Korea.
When Stalin, greedily dreaming of a ice-free North Pacific seaport, orchestrated the Pearl Harbour-type sneak attack, in anticipation of a quick, successful overrunning of the weak South in 1950, America refused to walk away and to allow communism to expand and take over five years of her significant economic assistance to the South after ousting Japan's occupational garrisons in Korea in 1945.
Thus began the first military conflict of the Cold War, initiated by an ambitious Communist dictator.
The U.N. quickly perceived the Russian-led threat to freedom and democracy in Asia and mobilized to support the American-led defence of South Korea.
