The Korean War began on the morning of June 25, 1950 after North Korean troops led by Kim Il-sung crossed the 38th parallel to invade the South Korean territory.
After the entry of the UnN Command in the conflict, led by Washington, along with the Chinese People's volunteers, to support Seoul and Pyongyang respectively, the conflict went on for more than three years and left more than 2.5 million civilians dead on both sides of the border.
