Korean War

On 25 July 1950, North Korea invaded South Korea without any warning.

They used to be one country, but at one point, Japan attacked Korea and ruled over it. After the Japanese left, Korea was very poor. Some people felt they would be better off with communism, and they set up a communist regime in the north. The South became a democracy.

So They have the same cultures and language, but very different government types.

The North Korean government argues that South Korea is not actually an independent country, but is a puppet state and a colony of the United States of America. The war against South Korea is, in their view, a war of liberation to bring southern Korea out of imperialist control and back to domestic Korean control. South Korea refuses to submit to the North Korean government. These two opposing wills lead to war.

Contrary to the view in the Community Answer, there is no peace treaty or recognition between North and South Korea, simply an Armistice that was signed in 1953. The armistice ended the actual fighting with a ceasefire, which is simply a "pause" in the war, not its termination.

money lol

On 15th September, 1950, MacArthur landed American and South Korean marines at Inchon, 200 miles behind the North Korean lines. The following day he launched a counterattack on the North Koreans. When they retreated, MacArthur's forces carried the war northwards, reaching the Yalu River, the frontier between Korea and China on 24th October, 1950.

• Because there was a war between North and South Korea

supported No. Korea and wanted land/spread of communism

Fierce fighting among US and UN forces against North Korean and Chinese forces

38th parallel
The Border at the begging of the war was commonly known as the 38th Parallel.

North Korea vs US '50-'53.

There is no such nation called Korea.

Truman dismissed General McArthur in April 1951 for being too aggressive with his tactics - ruman only wanted to use George Kennan's policy of 'containment' (not letting communism expand), whereas General McArthur used the policy of 'rollback' (pushing your army into enemy territory and forcing them to retreat). Truman did not like this as it made the USA seem overly aggressive, and it was causing more deaths than necessary.

That would be mainly General Douglas MacArthur. On April 11th, 1951, US President Truman relieved the controversial General MacArthur, the Supreme Commander in Korea. There were several reasons for the dismissal. MacArthur had crossed the 38th parallel in the mistaken belief that the Chinese would not enter the war, leading to major allied losses. He believed that whether or not to use nuclear weapons should be his own decision, not the President's. MacArthur threatened to destroy China unless it surrendered. While MacArthur felt total victory was the only honorable outcome, Truman was more pessimistic about his chances once involved in a land war in Asia, and felt a truce and orderly withdrawal from Korea could be a valid solution. MacArthur was the subject of congressional hearings in May and June 1951, which determined that he had defied the orders of the President and thus had violated the US Constitution.

they had many other allies and would defeat the powers of soviet union leaders, they also had more nuclear weapons.

by the supreme council of course and the president

the colors are blue red and black

To answer the question, it would be better to take a fast look at the history of the Korean War. At dawn on the 25, June In 1950, Kim Ilsung's North Korean Armed Forces, conspired and backed China and Russia, made a surprise attack on South Korea, breaking the 38th parallel, borderline between North and South Korea, and pushed southward down to near Busan, southernmost port of Korea. United Nations Security Coucil was immediately convened and decided to stop that unprovoked agression and dispatched armed forces from 16 member countries, mostly from U.S.A. to confront the agressors. The renowned Incheon landing by the U.N. forces under the command of Late Douglas MacArthur turned the war table and the UN Forces began to couterattack, pushing them upto near the Amnokgang(the Yalu River) ), where, this time, a large number of Chinese troops intervened against South Korean and U.N. forces. The war continued for about 3 years till the 27, July 1953 when the Armistice Agreement was reached by the two hostile parties. From then on, Democratic South Korea emerged as a powerfu and affluent economy ranking 11th or 12th in the world, thanks to democratic and free market policy lined with western countries, while North Korea, lined with communist bloc, is still in the bracket of the poorest entities in the world. It was a tragic war between Democracy and Communism.

The president of North Korea at the time of the Korean War was Kim Ill Sung hope this helps

President Truman ordered American troops moved from Japan to South Korea.

Korea is two countries (North Korea and South Korea) on a peninsula.

South Korea was on the verge of losing the Korean War. However, USA felt that if South Korean was taken over by the Communists then Japan was not too far away from being attacked. They decided to send large number of troops to South Korea and General Douglas MacArthur was the leader of the troops.

Now, if you look at the Korean map. You can notice that Incheon is located in the left middle of the whole Korean peninsula. Douglas felt that if he were to attack Incheon, he could divide the North Korean armies, resulting in detoriation of the army. The attack is remembered as "Battle of Incheon". From the battle, the South Koreans and USA united raided the confused North Koreans and were about to unite the country when China stepped in. Roosevelt, the president of U.S then, decided not to mess with China, hence he ordered his troops to come back to U.S.

MacArthur rebuffed his boss's order and stayed, resulting in his discharge.
