Korea had been subject to colonization as early as 1904, when the Russians and Japanese fought over the region. The Japan-Korea Annexation treaty in 1910 forced Korea to recognize that they were subjects to the Japanese Emperor, not the Korean emperor. Japanese rule in Korea lasted until 1945. When Japan surrendered to the Americans in 1945, Koreans were left to pick up the pieces.

Joseph Stalin agreed that the Soviet Union would help fight the Japanese a few months after the Yalta Conference in the spring of 1945. As a result, both the Soviets (from the north) and the Americans (from the south) liberated Korea from the Japanese at the close of World War Two. Both sides hoped Korea would soon be unified with democratic elections. Both the Americans and Soviets were out of Korea by 1949.

China, which shares a border with North Korea, had been fighting the decades-long Chinese Civil War. This was interrupted by World War Two, but resumed shortly after. The People’s Republic of China (PRC) defeated the Chinese Nationalists, exiling them to Taiwan in 1949. The PRC was soon to play a major role in the outcome of the war in neighboring Korea.

In June of 1950, the communist government of North Korea crossed the 38th parallel (near the center of the Korean Peninsula) and began an invasion of democratic South Korea. North leader Kim Il Sung intended to unify Korea under his communist regime. He had more soldiers and was moving deep into the south. South Koreans were on the retreat, and many were even defecting to the North Korean side.

The United Nations met to discuss the situation. The Soviet Union, which had veto power in the UN Security Council was not in attendance as they were protesting the fact that the UN did not recognize the Communist PRC as the legitimate government of China. With the Soviets absent, the UN passed Resolution 83, recommending that UN members intervene on behalf of the South Koreans.

Led by the United States, a combined force of nearly 1,000,000 soldiers eventually joined the South Koreans in the fight. A series of victories pushed the North Koreans back past the 38th parallel and continued (fall 1950) to push them all the way to the Chinese border. China warned that they would intervene against the UN forces if they felt threatened.

“Chinese Military Intervention”

Korean WarKorean War Kim Il SungKim Il Sung 3838thth Parallel Parallel Harry TrumanHarry Truman Douglas MacArthurDouglas MacArthur Containment PolicyContainment Policy Domino TheoryDomino Theory CommunismCommunism CapitalismCapitalism Cold WarCold War ChinaChina DMZDMZ

Stalin sent Mao a personal telegram asking him to enter the war. However, China likely would have intervened without Stalin’s request since they had warned the UN about a need to protect national security. China soon involved more than 1,350,000 troops, many of whom had no weapons, but were to pick them up as they went. A series of Chinese and North Korean offensives brought the war back near the 38th parallel.

From 1951-53, fighting was at a stalemate, with little territorial change. Leaders met to negotiate but combat and UN bombing continued. Negotiations stalled because many North Korean POWs did not want to be returned to the north. A 1953 armistice established a new border almost exactly where the 38th parallel once stood as a temporary border.

Also, a 2.5 mile-wide demilitarized zone was established between the borders. The bodies of over 4,000 U.S. soldiers were exchanged for over 13,000 North Korean bodies as part of the truce. North Korea claims to have won the war even though North and South Korea still exist as separate states today.
