Which statement correctly traces the Korean war in the context of events between 1945 and the end of the 20th century

Answer 1

The Korean War began in 1950 when North Korean forces invaded South Korea, after the division of Korea following World War II. The conflict lasted for three years, ending in 1953 with an armistice, but no official peace treaty was ever signed. The war was a result of the Cold War tensions between the United States and its allies, and the Soviet Union and China. The Korean War had a lasting impact on the Korean peninsula, leading to the continued division of the two Koreas and ongoing tensions on the peninsula throughout the 20th century.
