 | | The Korean War was the conflict which ensued between Communist and non-Communist forces in Korea which (disputably) began on June 25, 1950, and ended with an armistice signed July 27, 1953. |
 | | After the Second World War, 10,000 North Koreans were brought to the U.S.S.R. and trained as soldiers, and by the late summer of 1950 (the eve of the War), an estimated 60,000 - 100,000 experienced North Korean veterans of the Chinese civil war had returned home, vastly augmenting North Koreas military capabilities. |
 | | It is widely speculated that the Chinese entered the war as a merely defensive measure, a response to MacArthurs encroachment of the Chinese border. |
