The principal combatants wereNorth Korea, supported by People's Volunteer Army (PVA) of Communist China, and later Soviet combat advisors, aircraft pilots, and weapons; andSouth Korea, supported principally by the United States (U.S.), the United Kingdom (UK), and the Philippines, although many other nations sent troops under the aegis of the United Nations (UN).In South Korea, it is often called "625" (the date of the start of the conflict), or, more formally, Hanguk Jeonjaeng.In the United States, the conflict was termed a police action, as the Korean Conflict, under the aegis of the United Nations, rather than a war, largely in order to remove the necessity of a Congressional declaration of war.
