Located in East Asia, the Korean Peninsula is the last divided country in the world. During the Cold War, the Korean Peninsula became the strategic chessboard of the two superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union. 1945, after World War II, the Korean Peninsula was divided into two countries, the north and the south. The Republic of Korea in the south became an ally of the United States, and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea in the north became an ally of the Soviet Union. Against this background, the situation on the Korean peninsula is becoming increasingly tense.

cause

The cause of the Korean War can be traced back to 1949. At that time, China's production party seized power, and the strategic layout of the United States in Asia was threatened. In order to prevent the spread of capitalism in Asia, the United States decided to strengthen its military assistance to South Korea. 1On June 25th, 950, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea crossed the 38th parallel and attacked South Korea. This war is called "June 25th War".

The process of the Korean War can be divided into three stages. The first stage is the attack of the North Korean army. From June 25th to July 20th, the North Korean army quickly occupied most of South Korea's territory. The United States decided to send reinforcements to South Korea to stop the attack of the North Korean army. The second stage is the counter-offensive of the United Nations Army. During the period from September 15 to October 15, the United Nations troops quickly occupied most of the territory of North Korea and advanced to the border of China. The third stage is the intervention of China's army. During the period of 65438/KOOC-0/October 25th to/KOOC-0/95/KOOC-0/0/KOOC-0/October 25th, the South Korean Army sent 500,000 soldiers into northern China to counter the United Nations Army.

result

As a result of the Korean War, North Korea and South Korea continued to split. After the armistice agreement was signed, the two sides maintained a state of truce, but no peace agreement was reached. The Korean Peninsula became a microcosm of the Cold War, with South Korea becoming an ally of the United States and North Korea becoming an ally of the Soviet Union and China. During the Cold War, the situation on the Korean Peninsula was always in a state of tension. It was not until 199 1 the disintegration of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War that the situation on the Korean Peninsula eased.

final result

The Korean War is a far-reaching war, which not only affects the situation on the Korean Peninsula, but also affects the political structure of the whole Asian region. During the Cold War, the Korean Peninsula became the strategic chessboard of the two superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union. Although decades have passed since the Korean War, there is still no peace agreement between North and South Korea, and the situation on the Korean Peninsula remains unstable. We need to learn from history, maintain peace and stability and avoid war.
