After WWII, Korea was divided at the 38th parallel into two hostile parts. The North part was backed by the Solviet Union and the South was backed by the United States. Shortly after this division, the North attacked the South with the goal of unifying all of Korea under communist rule. President Truman was convinced that Stalin had initiated this attack. Later, history showed that Stalin had supported the attack with advisors, but it was at the insistence of the North Koreans. In fact, a civil war had been brewing for several years in Korea. Some historians estimate that as many as 100,000 Koreans were killed in this civil war before the North invaded the South.

Why did the US invade the Korean peninsula?

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.

Did South Korea invade South Korea?

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.
