This passage comes from a high school textbook.

After the division, North Korea attempted to overthrow
South Korea's government. When this proved impossible,
the North Korean communists began to prepare
themselves for war while pretending to negotiate
peacefully
On June 25, 1950, the north began its invasion of the
south. The south was taken by surprise, but the armies of
South Korea fought bravely to defend their liberties. This
action moved the United Nations Security Council to
declare the invasion by the north illegal and a threat to
peace. A decision was made to help the south, and a UN
army, led by the United States, Britain, and France,
joined the South Korean forces in an effort to repel the
invasion
