Mansions of the Lord Korean War
The Korean War was an escalation of border clashes between two rival Korean regimes, each of which was supported by external powers, with each trying to topple the other through political and guerilla tactics. In a very narrow sense, some may refer to it as a civil war, though many other factors were at play.[14] After failing to strengthen their cause in the free elections held in South Korea during May 1950[15] and the refusal of South Korea to hold new elections per North Korean demands, the communist North Korean Army moved south on June 25, 1950 to attempt to reunite the Korean peninsula, which had been formally divided since 1948. The conflict was then expanded by the United States and the Soviet Union's involvement as part of the larger Cold War. The main hostilities were during...

The Korean War 1950-53 1/2
After the final defeat of the Japanese empire in 1945 the Korean Peninsula was jointly occupied by the United States, in ther south, and the Soviet Union in the north. While the korean peninsula was supposed to be unified, the soviets propped up a communist regime in the north under the leadership of general Kim Il Sung, the Democratic people's Republic of Korea. In the meantime the USA sponsored the creation of a pro-west Republic of Korea, led by President Singman Rhee in the south. In June 1950 the DPRK launched a surprise invasion of South Korea and the korean War was on. Lasting until the cease-fire of July 1953, it pitted the communist alliance of China and North Korea against the forces of the United Nations.

Korean War Heroes - They are not forgotten.
Korean War 1950 - 53. 17,000 Australians served in Korea. 339 were killed and 1,215 wounded. The Korean War is often described as 'The Forgotten War'. The crisis in Korea originated in the closing phases of the Second World War, when control of the Korean peninsula, formerly occupied by Japan, was entrusted to the Allies, and the United States and the Soviet Union divided responsibility for the country between them at the 38th parallel. Over the course of the next few years, the Soviet Union fostered a strong communist regime in the north, while the US supported the government in the south; by mid-1950, tensions between the two zones, each under a different regime, had escalated to the point where two hostile armies were building up along the border. On 25 June a North Korean army...
