Korean War Escalates with North Korea Support

The Korean War began when North Korea invaded South Korea, prompting international intervention. The conflict intensified with China's military support to North Korea. China's involvement shifted the balance of power in favor of North Korea, prolonging the war. The United Nations, primarily led by the United States, supported South Korea. The war resulted in heavy casualties on both sides and left the Korean peninsula divided at the 38th parallel. The involvement of Chinese forces brought a new dimension to the conflict, leading to a protracted and bloody war that lasted for three years. The Korean War highlighted the geopolitical tensions of the Cold War era, with the global superpowers backing opposing sides in the conflict. The armistice signed in 1953 did not lead to a peace treaty, leaving the two Koreas technically still at war. The legacy of the Korean War endures, shaping the geopolitics of the region to this day. #KoreanWar #China #NorthKorea #Geopolitics #ColdWar #Armistice
