Answer :
The correct answer is that conflict over Communism eventually led to the invasion of South Korea. The United Nations led a coalition to defend South Korea from North Korea and it's Japanese rule. The Soviet Union was also backing the North, and the USSR was a representation of Communist rule. Both the North and the South of Korea claimed to have legitimate governments. Initially the country was one, but it has since been separated.
Answer:
Cold War issues contributed to the Korean War as conflict over Communism eventually led to the invasion of South Korea by North Korean forces.
Explanation:
The Korean War took place between 1950 and 1953. It faced the Republic of Korea (or South Korea), a Democratic republic supported by the armed forces of several countries commanded by the United States; and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (or North Korea), a Communist regime supported by the People's Republic of China and the Soviet Union. The war was one of the earliest episodes of the Cold War.
Five years before, after the end of World War II, the United States and the Soviet Union agreed to split Korea into two. They drew the border on the 38th parallel, leaving the North in charge of the Soviet Union and the South in charge of the United States. Each superpower controlled in its respective area the constitution of two new states that were under their respective orbits: the Democratic People's Republic of Korea in the north and the Republic of Korea in the south.
Although negotiations were held for the reunification of Korea in the months before the war, tension intensified with cross-border skirmishes and incursions on the 38th parallel. The escalation of tension degenerated into an open war when North Korea invaded South Korea on June 25, 1950.
