The Korean War (1950-1953) was primarily caused by the division of Korea into North and South after World War II, with the North supported by the Soviet Union and the South backed by the United States. Tensions escalated when North Korea invaded South Korea in June 1950, aiming to unify the peninsula under communist rule. The United Nations, led by the U.S., intervened on behalf of South Korea, leading to a protracted conflict. The war ended in an armistice, leaving the Korean Peninsula divided along the 38th parallel, but no formal peace treaty was signed, resulting in ongoing tensions.
