The reason China entering the war was an issue was due to their large army. When China entered the war they committed a large number of troops that help North Korea to push the US and its allies from almost crossing the Yalu river all the back past the 38th parallel. General MacArthur wanted authorization to use nuclear weapons against the Chinese troops when they attacked in order to account for their impact.
United Nations forces had pushed the North Korean army out of South Korea and were about to push them across the border into China. The Chinese government would not allow a foreign army so close to its border so they attacked.
Both the US and the United Nations, which the US is a member of, responded by sending soldiers to fight North Korean and later, Chinese aggression by helping the South Koreans defend their country. The war eventually ended and the US still keeps soldiers in South Korea not too far from the North Korean border to discourage new agression by the North Koreans.
Zero. The result of the Korean War was that the borders between North Korea and South Korea remained the same as they were before the war. However in 1950 the United Nations, rather than the United States, did push into North Korea and reached 30 miles north-east of the N. Korean capital Pyongyang.
* North Korea had been a client state of China's since WWII ended. * The UN forces were knocking hard on its Southern border. * US aviation forces frequently intruded on its airspace. * MacArthur's threatened use of nuclear weapons. * It felt secure because of Soviet backing.
He knew that China was supporting North Korea,including actually sending Chinese troops into the fight. McArthur wanted to take the war into China but he was overruled by President Truman who was apprehensive of sparking a wider conflict,not unreasonable considering that WWII had ended just 5 years before the Korean War started.
