The Korean War was a war
fought in Korea between armies
from North Koreaand from South Korea.

The war began
at 4:30 AM on June 25, 1950.
Fighting stopped July 27, 1953.
More than
two million Koreans died,

Both sides blame each other
for starting the war.
The north, led by
communist Kim Il-Sung,
was helped mostly by
People’s Republic of China,
and the USSR.

There was medical support
from Hungary, Romania,
Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria
and Poland. Other support
came from Mongolia and India.

The south,
led by nationalist Syngman Rhee,
was helped by many countries
in the United Nations,
and especially by the United States.

The war did not end
but a ceasefire was put in place.
South Korea and North Korea are
still officially at war,

and the United States
still keeps troops in South Korea,
in case North Korea ever
invades again.

North and South Korea are
divided by
the Korean Demilitarized Zone
that crosses the 38th parallel.
