Although an armistice ceased armed conflict, the war is not officially over to the present day. The former was supported by her sister socialist nations, the USSR and the People's Republic of China. The latter was led by the United Nations, which was then controlled and manipulated by the United States since the USSR was absent boycotting the United Nations due to the non-admission of PRC.

Although the beginning of the Korean war is said to have been started by a supposedly surprise invasion of 50k North Korean soldiers on the 26th of June 1950 according to popular bourgeois propaganda, a definitive beginning of the war is much more contentious. The divide in the Korean peninsula had been the result of a class conflict which broke out following the departure of the occupying Japanese colonial forces . A revolutionary tide was sweeping the peninsula with People's Committees being formed and a united Korean People's Republic had been formed, constituting a heavy socialist presence much to the anguish of the then-temporary American Occupation forces.

Impact and Legacy
Although DPRK survived and claimed victory against American forces, the war had been very disastrous. More than 8700 factories were destroyed and 90000 hectares of farmland had been spoilt.[1] Even biowarfare was said to have been used against communist forces. Massive civillian losses were incurred -- approximately 4 million have been estimated. The strategic bombing operations against civilian populations is laid bare by the following words of General Curtis LeMay :
There are no innocent civilians. It is their government and you are fighting a people, you are not trying to fight an armed force anymore. So it doesn't bother me so much to be killing the so-called innocent bystanders.[1]
