Answer 1

Answer: In the Korean War the Soviet Union and communist China "backed" North Korea.

Explanation: The two Koreas engaged in border conflict, which escalated when North Korea invaded South Korea on June 25. The Korean War was a proxy war for the Cold War. The West—the United Kingdom and the U.S., supported by the United Nations—supported South Korea, while communist China and the Soviet Union supported North Korea.
