Best Answer

General MacArthur (American military commander in charge of the UN task force repelling the North Korean invasion of the South) was strongly against communism. He ordered (without the authorisation of the US president) that US troops would push the North Koreans past the 38th Parallel and then would invade North Korea and unite the whole Korean peninsula under a capitalist government. This turned into a war on Communism as oppose to just defending a nation against a foreign invasion. However, this made the Chinese start to fear a US invasion of their land and they entered the Korean War, causing the USA to eventually sign a ceasefire.

What information can you give me on the Korean war?

It started June 25th, 1950. It started between North and South Korea. The Soviet Union supplied North Korea with supplies to conquer South Korea. The US entered the war because President Truman was convinced North Korean aggressors were repeating Hitler and to help South Korea resist communism. South Korea also asked the UN to intervene. UN forces pushed back the North Koreans, but they didn't stop at the North Korea - South Korea border. They pushed on. China felt this a threat to them, and attacked. The Chinese pushed UN troops back but by 1952 the UN had reclaimed South Korea. In July 1953 the UN and North Korea signed a ceasefire agreement. After the war North and South Korea stayed divided.
