The Korean War was a conflict that was born from the political and territorial turbulence created by the Second World War. Following the fall of the Japanese Empire, the communist North gained support from the Soviet Union and invaded Southern Korea on June 25, 1950. The following war would be the first major clash between the newly minted superpowers of the Cold War. It would also be among the first police actions executed by the United Nations. To this day, the Korean War remains a controversial example of American involvement in foreign affairs, however when closely observed it may be noted as a necessary engagement that helped to halt the spread of communism and protect a small democratic nation.
