When North Korea invaded South Korea in 1950, the USA and most nations in the United Nations saw this invasion as a threat to peace and the possible take over of South Korea by North Korea. In order to keep South Korea a free an independent nation, the USA and the United Nations formed a coalition of armed forces to counter act the North Korean invasion.
