Until 1945 Korea was occupied by Japan. After the Second world war, the territory of Korea North of the 38th parallel was occupied by the Soviet Union, and to the South — the United States. The USSR and the USA failed to negotiate the unification of the country, which led to the formation in 1948 two different governments, the Northern (Pro-Soviet) and southern (Pro-American), each of which claimed control over all of Korea. The conflict between the southern and Northern governments led to the Korean war, which involved many countries of the world. The Korean war (1950-1953) conflict between North Korea and South Korea, which lasted from 25 June 1950 to 27 July 1953 (although the official end of the war was not declared). Often this conflict of the cold war is seen as a proxy war between the US and its allies and forces of China and the Soviet Union. Part of the Northern coalition were: North Korea and its armed forces, Chinese army (because officially it was believed that the Chinese conflict was not involved, the regular Chinese troops formally considered compounds the so-called "Chinese people's volunteers"); the Soviet Union, which is also not officially involved in the war, but largely took over its financing, and also sent to the Korean Peninsula part of the air force and numerous military advisers and specialists. From the South in the war took part: South Korea, USA, UK and Philippines. The war also involved many other countries in the peacekeeping forces of the UN. In South Korea, the war is called "the June 25 Incident" Ohio saben (date of the outbreak of hostilities), or Hanguk, Congen. Until the early 1990s, it is also often called "Havoc 25 Jun", Ogio wounds. In Korea, the war is called the Fatherland Liberation, Choguk, Haban, Congen. [3, p. 158]
