Stalin approved the invasion of South Korea in 1950 primarily to expand communist influence in Asia and to counteract U.S. power in the region. He believed that the West would not intervene militarily in a conflict on the Korean Peninsula, especially after the perceived success of the Soviet Union in consolidating its power in Eastern Europe. Additionally, the invasion aligned with his broader strategy of supporting communist movements globally, as it could potentially lead to the spread of communism in Asia.

Did South Korea invade South Korea?

No. It is impossible for a country to invade itself. However, North Korea invaded South Korea and would have been victorious if not for the United Nations intervention.You could make the argument, however, that since South Korean forces participated in the Inchon invasion launched by General Macarthur, that the South Korean Army invaded sovereign South Korean territory under North Korean Occupation, but this is a long stretch as regards terms.


Why did North Korea unjustifiably invade South Korea?

After WWII, Korea was divided at the 38th parallel into two hostile parts. The North part was backed by the Solviet Union and the South was backed by the United States. Shortly after this division, the North attacked the South with the goal of unifying all of Korea under communist rule. President Truman was convinced that Stalin had initiated this attack. Later, history showed that Stalin had supported the attack with advisors, but it was at the insistence of the North Koreans. In fact, a civil war had been brewing for several years in Korea. Some historians estimate that as many as 100,000 Koreans were killed in this civil war before the North invaded the South.
