Background
Korea became a Japanese colony in 1905 after the Russo-Japanese War and was divided into two regions after World War II, with the Soviet Union controlling the North and the United States controlling the South.Sparknotes: The Korean War: Background on Korea[1] The regions became two separate nations in 1948. The invasion of South Korea was an attempt to reunify the two regions into one nation by bringing the South under the control of North Korea's government and its leader Kim II Sung. Several nations held an interest in the outcome, including the Soviet Union, which supported the communist regime in the North, and the United States, which was determined to prevent a communist victory over the South.
