The Korean War, also known as the Fatherland Liberation War in DPRK, was a severely devastating armed conflict which broke out between the Democratic People's Republic of Korea and the Republic of Korea. 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.

Background

The Soviets had agreed to an impromptu proposal from the American side that Korea should be divided along the 38th parallel for the purpose of acceptation of military surrender. The persistence of this 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 and differing occupation regimes. 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.

The Syngman Rhee regime was marked by mass repressions against the revolutionary movements and political activity generally - all political parties denounced the 1948 elections as. There was a lot of migration between the two occupation zones : political refugees went to the north, the dispossessed classes of landlords and merchants who supported the Japanese occupation fled to the south.
