Over 7,000 Philippine servicemen were deployed to the Korean War (1950-1953); over a hundred lost their lives during the conflict. See: "Filipino Soldiers in the Korean War."
The Korean War was fought over the 38th parallel in order to define the North and South Korean border. The North and the South did this where is now the famous Korean War peninsula. This is the same border nowadays that was claimed back then.

During the Korean War, general MacArthur wanted to bomb the bridges over yalu river all the way to China.
During the Cold War, General Douglas MacArthur notably commanded U.S. forces during the Korean War, which began in 1950. He led United Nations forces in a counteroffensive against North Korean troops, including the famous amphibious landing at Inchon. MacArthur's leadership played a crucial role in pushing back the North Korean advance and later advancing into North Korea before being dismissed by President Truman in 1951 due to disagreements over military strategy.
The Korean War started because North Korea invaded South Korea. It's as simple as that, but there were over 5 million lives lost in the war.
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.
The U.S. general who rebuilt Japan after World War II and later fought in the Korean War was Douglas MacArthur. He served as the Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers in Japan, overseeing its reconstruction and democratization. During the Korean War, he was appointed the commander of United Nations forces but was eventually relieved of his command by President Harry Truman due to disagreements over war strategy.
