Because the North of Korea wanted to take over & become Communist, just like China! Of course, everyone thought that it wouldn't be so serious, that it was just talk beause The North & the South of Korea would never managed separated people though. The North is all the hard mountainous land where all the industrial business in, & the South is like farming area, so, back then it was perfect. The South of Korea didn't want that, so, of course they started war. The U.S helped out alot, like alottt. Let's just say that if the U.S didn't help out the south, I would not be here and it would be one big communist Korea.
Right now the war is still going on. It's just a peace treaty. OMG! I remember last year, North Korea was doing something fishy with their nuclear stuff, we almost had to evacuate. We the stupids/kids. We had to leave our parents behind cause we were first priority. It was scary going to school and thinking like, wow, any minute something could happen. But yeah, I'm so happy nothing happened.
