The proper answer to this question requires some background information. In 1945, Korea, which had been a colony of Imperial Japan since 1910, was divided along the 38th parallel. The north part was occupied by Soviet troops and the south occupied by American troops. The USSR and the USA failed to reach an agreement regarding the unification of Korea. The Soviets defied United Nations attempts to unify the nation by having free elections. The Soviets established a communist government in the north and trained and equipped a powerful military force in the North.In the South, the U.N. supervised elections that came to establish South Korea as an independent anti-communist government headed by President Syngman Rhee.
In June of 1950, North Korean forces crossed the 38th parallel and invaded South Korea.
