The United States entered the Korean War in 1950.

The United States entered the Korean War in 1950, shortly after North Korea, backed by the Soviet Union, invaded South Korea on June 25.

The invasion marked the beginning of the conflict, prompting the United Nations, with the U.S. as a principal force, to intervene in support of South Korea.

The U.S. aimed to contain the spread of communism in Asia, in line with its broader Cold War strategy. American troops were deployed to the Korean Peninsula under General Douglas MacArthur, and the conflict would continue until the signing of an armistice in 1953, though no formal peace treaty was ever concluded.
