The war had begun with North Korean leader Kim Il Song's desire to unify the peninsula under Communist rule. Before WWII, the peninsula had been one country. The UN decided to draw a line between the 38th parallel to avoid a conflict between the US and the Soviet. However, with the Soviets occupying the northern side and the US troops occupying the southern side, the two sides became increasingly different in their governing systems.
South Korea was aided by the UN troops and the US troops, led under McArthur. North Korea held out for as long as they could, then turned to the People's Republic of China for aid. When the UN and US troops had managed to push the DPRK troops up to the border between Manchuria and North Korea, a desperate Kim Il Song turned to the Chinese. With the use of thousands of foot soldiers, the Chinese were able to push the UN and US troops back to the 38th parallel.
The result was a three-year war in the peninsula, the war ending in 1953 with an armistice.

North Korean invades the South at the 38th parallel. Drive them back to a piece of land and a city called pusan. America intervenes and sends their best general, MacArthur, plan an excellant invasion and drives the North Koreans to the Yalu River (boundary of North Korea and China). Truman dismisses MacArthur because he wants to drop A-bombs on because they intervene and drive everyone back to the 38th parallel where everything started. peace talks take a long time and the line stays about the same way.
