What was life like for the South Koreans when North Korea invaded South Korea?
South Koreans had little weapons and military because the Korean war took place soon after WWII. WWII ended in 1945 and the Korean war started in 1950. So South Korea was still "recovering" from the second world war. Many South Korean cities were bombed or heavily damaged as the North Koreans invaded. It was also hard because the homes were distroyed and children were separated from there parents and wound up left in the street. It was a very hard time for South Korea. The North Koreans were at first unchecked in their invasion of the South, however, once the United Nations cited North Korea as the aggressors and authorized UN members to stop the invasion the situation changed. UN forces, led by the US military pushed the invaders back into the North. It was then that North Korean civilians were victims of collateral damages. When Communist China aided the North Korean communists, the situation for the latter two nations improved.
What was President Truman's response to the aggression of the North Koreans?

He quickly sought the approval of the United Nations, resulting in a UN coalition led by the United States to repel the invasion. Truman emphasized the importance of containing communism and maintaining international order, which led to a significant military commitment in the Korean War.

How did Japanese actions in Korea nourish a Korean nationlist movement?
Japanese actions in Korea, such as forced assimilation policies, exploitation of resources, and suppression of Korean culture and language, fueled resentment and resistance among Koreans. This led to the growth of a Korean nationalist movement that sought to reclaim Korean sovereignty and protect the country's identity from Japanese colonialism. The Japanese occupation ultimately spurred Korean efforts to fight for independence and assert their cultural and political autonomy.
After Korea was freed from Japanese occupation in 1945 Korea became a battleground between two strong powers. The US backed non-communist Koreans in the south and?
the Soviet Union supported communist Koreans in the north. This division led to the establishment of two separate states in 1948: the Republic of Korea (South Korea) and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea). Tensions escalated, culminating in the Korean War in 1950, which solidified the division along the 38th parallel and entrenched the ideological conflict between communism and capitalism in the region. The war ended in 1953 with an armistice, but no formal peace treaty was signed, leaving the Korean Peninsula divided to this day.

How was North Korea able to conquer so much land?
North Korea's expansion during the Korean War (1950-1953) was primarily achieved through a combination of military strategy, surprise attacks, and substantial support from the Soviet Union and China. The North Korean military, equipped with Soviet tanks and artillery, launched a rapid invasion of South Korea, initially overwhelming the unprepared South Korean forces. The conflict led to significant territorial gains until a counteroffensive by UN forces, primarily led by the United States, pushed the North Korean troops back, ultimately resulting in a stalemate and the division of the Korean Peninsula.
