To restore South Korea after it had been invaded by North Korea. The US invaded Korea twice. The first time was in 1945 when the US and the USSR agreed to invade the Korean Peninsula to defeat the ruling Japanese. The USSR invaded from the north and, as agreed, stopped at the 38th parallel. The US invaded from the south and stopped at the same line. The second time, in 1950, the US only invaded North Korea. The Republic of Korea (South Korea) requested US assistance, so when the US entered South Korea it was by invitation, not invasion. The invasion of North Korea was part of the objective of eliminating the North Korean ability to effectively re-invade South Korea.
The United States never invaded North Korea, past or present. During the Korean war (1950 - 1953) UN forces pushed North Korean forces up to the Yalu River which bordered China.
Joseph Stalin armed the North Koreans and urged them to invade South Korea in 1950. The Korean War ended when Stalin died in 1953.
North Korea is communist, and South Korea is democratic. The Korean War had ended in a stalemate (when neither side gets a victory) so they remained split apart, and with different governments.
North Korea and South Korea lie on the Korean Peninsula.
No. It is impossible for a country to invade itself. However, North Korea invaded South Korea and would have been victorious if not for the United Nations intervention.You could make the argument, however, that since South Korean forces participated in the Inchon invasion launched by General Macarthur, that the South Korean Army invaded sovereign South Korean territory under North Korean Occupation, but this is a long stretch as regards terms.

We stopped em (communists) in Korea, we'd stop em again in Vietnam. However, we didn't repeat one mistake...we did NOT invade North Vietnam as we DID invade North Korea during the Korean War. That action (in Korea) brought Red China into the war. We bombed North Vietnam, but did not invade it.
Hitler did not invade North Korea.

No. Definitely not. It was North Korea who invaded South Korea on June 25, 1950. Unfortunately, North Korean Propaganda continues to put forward the ridiculous message that they were attacked by South Korea and tortures and/or kills those in its borders who say otherwise.
North Korea crossed the 38th parallel during the Korean War in 1950 to invade and unify South Korea under a communist regime. The invasion sparked a global conflict as the United Nations intervened to support South Korea, leading to a three-year war that ended in an armistice.
