The Korean War

-The Korean War was a conflict that erupted on the Korean Peninsula between North Korea—supported by China, the Soviet Union, and other socialist nations—and South Korea, backed by the United Nations, with the United States serving as the principal force.
-The war began on June 25, 1950, and ended in a stalemate on July 27, 1953, with no decisive victor on either side.
-It was one of the largest, most brutal, and most internationalized wars since the end of the Second World War. The Korean War emerged as a direct product of the Cold War, born from inter-Korean tensions, ideological confrontation, and the global division between opposing blocs that followed World War II.
