After WWII, the United States
and the Soviet Union had agreed that Russia
could only occupy Korea
as far as the 38th parallel. This divided the country into North Korea , which was communist, and South Korea ,
which wasn’t. As the U.S and Soviet Union entered the Cold War, tensions rose
between the countries as well as North and South Korea . The first act that
started the Korean War was when North Korea
invaded South Korea
on June 25th, 1950. They pushed the South all the way down to the
border. After this happened, the United States was forced to step in order to
stop the spread of communism and to save South Korea, thus beginning the Korean
War.
