The Korean War was a war lasting from 1950 to 1953. The war was fought between North and South Korea with many other countries who were involved in aiding one of the Korea's. The war started with the invasion on South Korea from North Korean communists on June 25, 1950. About two days later, President Truman commanded that United States soldiers go and assist South Korea. Throughout the year of 1950, the UN and China communists had become involved in the conflict and many cities is South Korea had been captured and recaptured. Throughout the next proceeding years of the war, China had many of its men in North Korea, which on Oct. 26, 1958, were all orded to get out of North Korea. This war was like many other wars because of all the involvement from other countries. Most of the time, the assistance can and will lead to a bigger and more sevier war, and is unneeded. But, in some cases the need for alliances plays a major role on how a war will be fought, and in the end can lead to the under dogs of the war to be the campions. All together, most of the wars fought throughout the world are fought by more than two countries and are assisted by many others.
