In response to North Korea's invasion of South Korea in June 1950, the United Nations Security Council passed a resolution calling for military assistance to be provided to South Korea. The United States took the lead in providing troops and support, with other countries also contributing to the effort.
The United Nations Command, led by General Douglas MacArthur, was established to coordinate the coalition forces, which included troops from South Korea, the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and other countries. The goal was to push back North Korean forces and prevent the spread of communism in the region.
The Korean War lasted until 1953, when an armistice was signed, effectively dividing the Korean peninsula along the 38th parallel. While the war did not result in a clear victory for either side, it did prevent the spread of communism in Korea and solidified the U.S.'s commitment to containing communism in the region.
Overall, the intervention of U.N. and U.S. troops in Korea was a significant event in the early days of the Cold War, demonstrating the international community's commitment to defending countries under threat from communist aggression.
