The invasion of South Korea by communist North Korea was seen by the US as part of an attempt by the communist nations of the world at global conquest, therefore it was thought to be prudent to act sooner rather than later; the US did not want to find itself the last non-communist nation on Earth, facing opposition from every other nation. Whether this fear was reasonable or unreasonable is another matter. Nonetheless, it is clear that South Korea did become a much more prosperous and more democratic and successful country as a result of defeating the attempted take-over by its insane neighbor to the north. To this day, North Korea remains the world's craziest country. It is truly a nightmare regime.
