The Korean War was primarily caused by the division of Korea at the end of World War II, leading to the establishment of two separate governments: a communist regime in the North (supported by the Soviet Union and China) and a democratic government in the South (backed by the United States). Tensions escalated as both sides sought to reunify Korea under their respective political systems, culminating in North Korea's invasion of South Korea in June 1950. Additionally, the broader context of the Cold War and the desire of both superpowers to expand their influence in Asia contributed significantly to the conflict.
