What event started the Korean war and when was it?

Answer 1

The background of the Korean War is complex.

Originally, Korea was controlled by Japan during the war. After World War II, the United States and Soviet Union divided Korea into two districts (much like how Germany was divided in Europe), a communist north, and a more pro-western south. These two districts became their own countries. With tensions between the US and USSR rising, both sides wanted as many allies as they could get, in as many places as they could get them.

On June 25, 1950 the Korean People's Army stormed across the 38th parallel (the international dividing line between the two countries) in an effort to re-unify Korea. Fighting continued until July 27, 1953 when a cease-fire was signed. Because no peace treaty was ever signed, the war is technically still in progress to this day.
