The Korean War
The Korean war started in June 1950 and was between north and south Korea. The war stopped in 1953 but during this time over 2 million Koreans died. The north was communists and the south was nationalists. Both sides were being helped as China and the USSR helped the north and the UN helped the south. North and South Korea are still at war but have agreed to no longer fight although both are still prepared to fight if it is ever necessary. during the war North Korea was being led by Kim ll-Sung and the south was being led by Syngman Rhee. The war began because after world war two Korea was split up in to North and South. because the North became communists, it worried the South as they were being helped by the US who were very against communism.
