Of course it was a war you idiot, they only called it a conflict because they didn't want to sign a war declaration and if anyone copies my answer I'll hurt them severely.

Of course it was a war! The Americans only call it a conflict because they did not want to sign a war declaration.

Yes the Korean War was an actual war. Why would it be called the Korean War if it wasn't? At 11:00 a.m., 25 June, 1950 Kim Il Sung, Premier of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea) issued a declaration of war on the Republic of Korea (South Korea). Multiple nations engaged in open, declared armed conflict on the Korean Peninsula. These two facts fit Merriam-Webster's definition of war, which is: 1) a state of usually open and declared armed hostile conflict between states or nations 2) a period of such armed conflict....

It was not a war. It was a Conflict, just like Viet Nam and now Iraq. I was there. It was never declared a war by Congress. A U.S. President can not declare war on a country. It takes an act of Congress. The only way Korea was actually a war is that men on both sides killed each other.

It depends on what you mean by 'the war'. If you are asking about a specific war, then you will have to clarify which war that is, but in general, a war is so because one country's government has declared war on another.

Yes. It began as a civil war in 1950 and escalated when the United States and, later, China entered into the forray. The end of the Korean War came July 27, 1953.

The Korean War was a "Limited War"; meaning NO ATOMIC weapons were to be used.

Yes.Korean War (1950–1953).War came to Korea in 1950–53 as both a civil war on the Korean peninsula and the first military clash of the Cold War between forces of the Soviet Union and its Communist clients and the United States and its allies. It was, therefore, potentially the most dangerous war in world history.
