U.S.-Soviet Conflict Engulfs the World 1950-1953
After the end of World War II in Europe, confrontation intensified between capitalist nations and socialist nations. The confrontation, known as the Cold War, spread to involve East Asia. In 1948, the Korean Peninsula was formally divided into the Republic of Korea (South Korea) and the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (North Korea) along the 38th parallel. The confrontation of the Western and Eastern blocs grew more serious in East Asia when the People’s Republic of China was established in 1949. In June 1950, full-scale armed conflict broke out between South Korea and North Korea, which developed into a cruel three-year war, involving U.S.-led UN force and the Chinese forces of the People’s Volunteer Army (PVA).
