USA HISTORY

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: -In the run up to 1950, the dictator of North Korea had military support from the Soviet Union and from communist China. Kim II-sung, with permission from Joseph Stalin, ordered the People’s Korean Army to invade the south in June 1950. This invasion caught the world by surprise.

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.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Korean war began on June 25, 1950, when some 75, 000 soldiers from the North Korean People’s Army poured across the 38th parallel, the boundary between the Soviet-backed Democratic People’s Republic of Korea to the north and the pro-Western Republic of Korea to the south.

Detailed explanation-5: -On July 27, 1953, both sides agreed to a ceasefire, essentially bringing the Korean War to an end. South Korea remained free from communism, and the original borders of these two countries remained essentially unchanged from before the conflict.
