Why did North Korea attack South Korea in 1950?
Korea was persuaded by Russia to become a communist country yet some parts of korea did not agree with this form of government so they started a entire war they ended up becoming seperate countries afterwards
My answer is like this:
Korea was under Japan during the World War. But when the USA threw nuclear bombs, Japan had to surrender because of its losses. So thus, Korea was left divided into North Korea and South Korea. Since North Korea is a communist, it went to USSR (Russia) and South Korea went to USA.
North Korea used to keep invading South Korea to make it too come under a communist influence.So, South Korea went to ask help from the UN.
So..this is the Korean Crisis.. :)

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.
No. The US was a major part of the UN "police action" that primarily sought to repel the North Korean army that invaded South Korea in June, 1950. Under a UN resolution, troops from several countries were sent to fight. However, the advance of these troops into the North led to a second invasion, this time by communist China, in October, 1950. These forces were also repelled during five separate attacks through 1952. Neither the US or any UN member declared war on North Korea, which continued to depend on support from the Soviet Union and China.

Key battles of the Korean war?
One of the MAJOR turning points was the intorduction of the Helicopter. When this was introduced the North Koreans Paniced ALOT. They were used to having their enemy be in front of them unless they parachuted. But with the helicopter the UN South Korean, and US troops can be in front of them 1 min and behind them the Next.-Glad to Help, Nick- PS: There wasn't really a turning point persay, both sides came out even, as you know Korea is split in two.
And I'll Fire Back: There are a couple points to make: First the Chinese
intervention was a major turnaround in Korea, not favorable for the US,
but it was major. The brilliant withdrawal from Chosin Reservoir was a big
American win. They called it a retrogade movement. Do you recall the
words like " Hell we're just attacking in a different direction". The Inchon Landings were a major turnaround, trapping, killing and capturing enemy
in unprecedented numbers. Finally there was the sacking of MacArthur
which ended the nuclear threat and calmed both China and the USSR,
and which effectively restored the border at the 38th paralell.
