The Korean conflict<\/b> is an ongoing conflict based on the division of Korea<\/a> between North Korea<\/a> (Democratic People’s Republic of Korea<\/a>) and South Korea<\/a> (Republic of Korea<\/a>), both of which claim to be the sole legitimate government and state of all of Korea. During the Cold War<\/a>, North Korea was backed by the Soviet Union<\/a>, China<\/a>, and its communist allies<\/a>, while South Korea was backed by the United States<\/a> and its Western allies<\/a>. The division of Korea<\/a> by external powers occurred at the end of World War II<\/a>, starting in 1945, and tensions erupted into the Korean War<\/a>, which lasted from 1950 to 1953. When the war ended, both countries were devastated, with utter destruction of much of the countries, but the division remained. North and South Korea continued a military standoff, with periodic clashes. The conflict survived the collapse of the Eastern Bloc<\/a> of 1989 to 1991 and continues to this day.<\/p>\n

On June 25, 1950, the Korean War began when some 75,000 soldiers from the North Korean People\u2019s Army poured across the 38th parallel, the boundary between the Soviet-backed Democratic People\u2019s Republic of Korea to the north and the pro-Western Republic of Korea to the south. This invasion was the first military action of the Cold War. By July, American troops had entered the war on South Korea\u2019s behalf. As far as American officials were concerned, it was a war against the forces of international communism itself. After some early back-and-forth across the 38th parallel, the fighting stalled and casualties mounted with nothing to show for them. Meanwhile, American officials worked anxiously to fashion some sort of armistice with the North Koreans. The alternative, they feared, would be a wider war with Russia and China\u2013or even, as some warned, World War III. Finally, in July 1953, the Korean War came to an end. In all, some 5 million soldiers and civilians lost their lives during the war. The Korean peninsula is still divided today.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
