Us Involvement In The Korean War

After jointly demolishing Nazi Germany during WWII, extreme enmity, distrust, and political hostility erupted between the United States and the Soviet Union, which resulted in the Cold War. This was more of an ideological standoff between capitalism and communism than an open combat war between the two superpowers, and it consisted of a series of plights and proxy wars from 1945 to 1990, including the Korean War.

Without South Korea, we wouldn’t have many influential companies like Hyundai and Samsung. Nowadays, South Korea is an important ally with the United States, whereas North Korea is a poor, starving, murderous country on very negative terms with the world.
