Also, last comment sorry 😂 you’ve got the war information incorrect. Neither the USA or Japan is solely responsible for the wars.
It was a conflict rooted in the Cold War tensions and the division of Korea after World War II, with North Korea, backed by the Soviet Union and China, invading South Korea in 1950
Here's a more detailed explanation:
Post-WWII Division:
After Japan's surrender in 1945, Korea was temporarily divided at the 38th parallel, with the Soviet Union administering the north and the United States administering the south
Cold War Tensions:
The division created two separate governments with differing ideologies, and the Cold War rivalry between the US and the Soviet Union fueled tensions on the peninsula.
North Korea's Invasion:
In June 1950, North Korea, supported by the Soviet Union and China, launched an invasion of South Korea (which was already being defended by the US)
it began as an invasion by North Korea into South Korea on June 25, 1950. North Korea, backed by the Soviet Union and China, attempted to unify the Korean Peninsula under its control, while South Korea, with support from the U.S. and United Nations forces, fought to defend itself.
Wars are often named in ways that don’t fully capture their origins—like the Vietnam War, which was also a conflict of invasion and intervention rather than a conventional war between two equally established states. The name “Korean War” generalizes the conflict rather than explicitly framing it as an act of aggression by the North.
If we were to name it more precisely, something like “The North Korean Invasion of South Korea” or “The Korean Conflict” might be more accurate. But politically and historically, the term “Korean War” has stuck, even though the framing could be debated
US Role:
The United States, under the UN banner, intervened in the war to defend South Korea and prevent the spread of communism. The war ended in a stalemate with an armistice, but no peace treaty, leaving the Korean peninsula divided.
Japanese Role:
Japan had no direct involvement in the Korean War, as it was under US occupation and its military was disbanded after World War II. However, Japan did serve as a logistical base for US forces during the war.
Over 28,500 U.S. military personnel are stationed in the ROK and work closely with the ROK military and United Nations Command member countries to deter and defend against the threat from the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) and maintain the Korean Armistice Agreement. ❤
