Detailed explanation-1: -The Korean War (also known by other names such as the “625 War") was fought between North Korea and South Korea from 1950 to 1953. The war began on 25 June 1950 when North Korea invaded South Korea following clashes along the border and rebellions in South Korea.
Detailed explanation-2: -Background. Joseph Stalin’s influence over Kim Il-Sung dictated the timing of the invasion. Kim Il-Sung and ROK leader Syngman Rhee both wanted to reunify Korea. Kim’s objective was to achieve reunification through force.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Korean War (1950-1953) began when the North Korean Communist army crossed the 38th Parallel and invaded non-Communist South Korea. As Kim Il-sung’s North Korean army, armed with Soviet tanks, quickly overran South Korea, the United States came to South Korea’s aid.
