The U.S. became involved in Korea in 1950 primarily to contain the spread of communism during the Cold War. Following North Korea's invasion of South Korea on June 25, 1950, the U.S. viewed this aggression as a direct threat to democracy and stability in the region. Under the auspices of the United Nations, the U.S. led a military intervention to support South Korea and prevent the fall of the entire peninsula to communism. This involvement marked a significant escalation in U.S. commitments to global anti-communist efforts.
