The Korean War began on June 25, 1950, when North Korea, under the communist dictator Kim Il Sung, invaded the Republic of South Korea by sending more than 200,000 troops across the 38th Parallel which divided North from South.
The Korean War was waged in supposed defense of the way of life in the United States and in supposed defense of South Korea against aggression by North Korea. Of course it had been the arrogant genius of the Allies to slice the Korean nation in half at the end of World War II. On June 25, 1950, the north and the south each claimed the other side had invaded. The first reports from U.S. military intelligence were that the south had invaded the north.
