20 juin 1950 - Korean War breakout

Description:

In 1948, 2 separate governments were made in Korea, communist north Korea and anti communist south Korea (backed by USA)
War broke out in 1950 because Stalin agreed to support an invasion on South Korea with North Korea, and provide Kim with weapons
-South Korea turned to the UN security council for help, which the USA proposed they should, this proposal was passed because he USSR had stopped attending UN meetings.
War broke out between mostly South Korea and US (UN forces) vs North Korea and USSR, who provided north Korea with military weapons.
-MacArthur (UN forces leader) wanted to use atomic weapons, but the US was not prepared for nuclear warfare, so MacArthur was fired in 1951
