The war began when North Korea invaded South Korea following a series of clashes along the border.

Etymology

The term "Korean War" is the English name for the conflict. It is derived from "Korea" (the English name for the peninsula) and "war" (from the Old English wǣr, related to the High German werra, and the Old Norse vǫr).

Background

The Korean War was a result of the political division of Korea by an agreement of the victorious Allies at the conclusion of the Pacific War. The Korean peninsula was ruled by Japan from 1910 until the end of World War II. Following the surrender of Japan in 1945, American administrators divided the peninsula along the 38th Parallel, with United States troops occupying the southern part and Soviet troops occupying the northern part.

Course of the War

The war began on June 25, 1950, when North Korean forces crossed the 38th parallel into South Korea. The conflict quickly developed into a war of attrition, with both sides attempting to control the entire peninsula. The war ended in a stalemate, with an armistice signed on July 27, 1953.

Aftermath

The Korean War had significant implications for the Cold War, strengthening the U.S. policy of containment. It also led to the expansion of the military-industrial complex in the United States and the creation of a unified, militarized state in North Korea.
