In March 1949, Stalin rejected Kim Il-sung's request for support to invade South Korea due to concerns about the potential for a prolonged conflict and the risk of direct confrontation with the United States. Stalin believed that the timing was not right, as he wanted to consolidate Soviet control over Eastern Europe and was wary of escalating tensions. Additionally, he sought to evaluate the situation in Korea and the strength of communist forces before committing to military action.
