Unit 3 - Korean War

The Korean War began on June 25, 1950, when North Korea invaded South Korea and ended on July 27, 1953. North Korea was backed by China and the Soviet Union and South Korea was backed by the U.N.
The war ended with a stalemate between the sides.

The War was more than just a war between Border Countries but also a war between Communist Countries and U.N. Countries which included the U.S. Despite the amount of countries involved in the war many people call it the ''Forgotten War'' because it was preceded by the giant World War II and the controversial Vietnam War. The war also brought awareness to the dangers of the North Korea.

The Korean War was for many people an unimportant war even though it brought awareness to the danger of North Korea and heightened the tension between the Communists and the U.S. People call it the ''Forgotten War'' that doesn't change the fact that people died and that the danger of this war could have caused major problems. It may have been forgotten but it was a war nonetheless.
