On June 25, 1950, the Korean War began when North Korea, supported by the Soviet Union and China, invaded South Korea, which was supported by the United States. General MacArthur, leader of theUnited Nations forces, drove the North Koreans back across the divide, yet encountered a Chinese invasion.
