The Korean War began on June 25, 1950, when North Korea, under the communist dictator Kim Il Sung, invaded the Republic of South Korea by sending more than 200,000 troops across the 38th Parallel which divided North from South.
Such a world war could easily have become a nuclear conflict as both the U.S. and Soviet Union possessed atomic weapons.
