Korean War

The Korean War took place between two opposing areas of Korea, the North and the South. The war began on June 25, 1950 with the tensions between the North and the South. Within a few days North Korea invaded South Korea and immediately the United States military and Navy were brought into South Korea to drive the Koreans back to the North. North Korea making the threat of Communist expansion to the United States, worried the U.S. As the U.S. help the south, the U.S.S.R. joined the north because they agreed with communistic governments. Finally on July 27, 1953 the fighting was over and the war had ended. The Korean War caused more friction between the United States and the Soviet Union, building up even more tensions between both superpowers. Even though the Korean War was over, the Cold War would continue for many decades to come.
