Korean War: 25 Jun. 1950 - 27 Jul. 1953 North Korea attacks South Korea because they wanted to control them by communism. The United Nations Security Council came together to counter the attack, but without the U.S.S.R. since it supported communism. 16 countries contributed and almost 90% of the troops were from the U.S. The two countries fought, until they agreed to divide on the 38th parallel where they were dug in.
