Best Answer

Yes.

At the time of the Second World War (WW2), Korea was a colony of Japan. As WW2 ended and Allied troops occupied Japanese-held territory, American and Russian troops secured the Korean peninsula. The conflicting political views of these parties led to the peninsula being divided into North and South Korea - a division which remains today.

What provoked the Korean War?

My answer is like this: Korea was under Japan during the World War. But when the USA threw nuclear bombs, Japan had to surrender because of its losses. So thus, Korea was left divided into North Korea and South Korea. Since North Korea is a communist, it went to USSR (Russia) and South Korea went to USA. North Korea used to keep invading South Korea to make it too come under a communist influence.So, South Korea went to ask help from the UN. So..this is the Korean Crisis.. :)
