Seeking the beginning and end of the Korean War, why did the Korean War happen?

The Korean War refers to the military conflict that broke out on the Korean Peninsula in June 1950. The Korean War was originally a national civil war between the north and the south of the Korean Peninsula, and later the United States, China, the Soviet Union and other countries were involved in international local wars to varying degrees, which was a large-scale local war that broke out at the beginning of the Second World War. ?

1The Korean War broke out on June 25th, 950. On July 7, the United Nations Security Council adopted Resolution 84, sending "United Nations troops" to support South Korea in resisting North Korea's attack. In mid-August, the Korean People's Army drove the Korean army to a corner of Busan and captured 90% of South Korea's land.

On September 15, the "United Nations forces" (the United States, Britain, France, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Greece, Turkey, Colombia, Thailand, the Philippines, South Africa and Ethiopia) landed in Incheon and began a large-scale counterattack. /KOOC-0/0/KOOC-0/0 On October 25th, Chinese people's Volunteer Army went to the DPRK at the request of the DPRK to fight side by side with the Korean People's Army. After various battles, he finally stabilized the front line along the 38th parallel.

1951July 10, People's Republic of China (PRC) and the democratic people's Republic of Korea and the United States representatives of the "United nations forces" began armistice negotiations. After many negotiations, the Korean Armistice Agreement was finally signed on July 27th, 1953.

The causes of the Korean War:

In the late World War II, the United States and the Soviet Union split the Korean Peninsula into two parts, becoming North Korea and South Korea. After the war, the cold war situation between the two superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union, and the two camps under their control led to the emergence of two opposing regimes in North and South Korea, and the contradiction between North and South Korea continued to intensify. Both sides intended to unify the Korean Peninsula by more force. So North Korea wanted to realize its wish of reunifying Korea by means of military attack, so it directly launched the Korean War with the consent of the Soviet Union.

The Historical Background of Resisting US Aggression and Aid Korea

1On August 8, 945, according to the Yalta Agreement, the Soviet Union declared war on Japan. 13, Soviet troops began to land in the Chingjin area in eastern Korea, 14, Japanese imperialism surrendered. In order to divide the scope of surrender to the Japanese occupied areas, the Soviet Union and the United States, after consultation, took the 38th parallel of north latitude (hereinafter referred to as the 38th parallel) as the boundary, with the Soviet surrender area in the north and the American surrender area in the south.

According to the spirit of Cairo Declaration, 1945, 1945, on February 27th, 1945, the foreign ministers of the Soviet Union, the United States and Britain reached an agreement, and the Soviet Union Command and the US Army Command in Korea formed a joint committee to help North and South Korea quickly establish a unified interim government. However, due to the differences of opinion between the Soviet Union and the United States on some major issues, it was not realized.

1948 On August 5th, the Republic of Korea in the south of the Korean peninsula was established, and on September 9th, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea in the north was proclaimed. There are two different kinds of regimes on the Korean peninsula, forming a situation of division and opposition between the North and the South. Around the issue of North Korea's reunification, the struggle between the two sides has become increasingly acute, armed conflicts along the 38th parallel have increased, and the situation has become increasingly tense.

1948 10, the Soviet Union handed over the administrative power of the northern half of the Korean peninsula to the North Korean government. 19 On February 25th, all Soviet troops withdrew from North Korea.

2. Kim Il Sung wants to reunify Korea by force.

After World War II, new changes have taken place in the world situation. Various forces regrouped to form a producer camp headed by the Soviet Union and a capitalist camp headed by the United States. 1949, China people's liberation war won a decisive victory. 1February 950 14, the Sino-Soviet Treaty of Friendship, Alliance and Mutual Assistance was signed and published publicly, and the Sino-Soviet alliance urged the United States to change its Taiwan policy. ?

After the Korean peninsula was split into two opposing countries, both North and South tried to achieve national reunification by force. At that time, the United States and the Soviet Union did not intend to have a direct conflict between the two sides in Asia, so they took restrictive and repressive measures against their agents. 19501At the end of October, Moscow changed its mind due to the pressure from China in the Sino-Soviet treaty negotiations.

In order to ensure the strategic interests of the Soviet Union in Asia and replace Lushun Port with a port in the southern part of the Korean Peninsula, Stalin and Kim Il Sung discussed in detail and finally approved the plan to wage war in secret talks on April 10-25.

1950 In mid-May, Kim Il Sung secretly visited Beijing at Stalin's request and informed Mao Zedong that he intended to wage war against North Korea. However, Mao Zedong objected that it was premature to wage war at this time. Stalin asked Mao Zedong to send several divisions to the northeast to protect the Danshen Line.

Mao Zedong asked the Soviet side to provide weapons for several divisions. Stalin replied that the equipment problem can help solve some problems, but asked China to arrange troops as soon as possible. On May 15, Mao Zedong agreed to Kim Il Sung's plan to reunify the Korean Peninsula, but North Korea did not inform the timetable. China didn't get the news in advance when the war broke out. At the beginning of the attack, Stalin ordered the recall of all Soviet advisers of the Korean People's Army frontline troops.

3. The southward advance of the Korean People's Army and American interference.

1On June 25th, 950, the Korean People's Army went south to fight and the Korean War broke out. On the 28th, he captured Seoul, the political center of South Korea. Under the strong offensive of North Korea, the South Korean army was losing ground.

In order to maintain its leading position and interests in Asia, the United States immediately sent troops to intervene. On June 26, US President Truman ordered the US Far East Air Force stationed in Japan to assist South Korea in its operations. On June 27th, he ordered the US Seventh Fleet to sail into Keelung and Kaohsiung to patrol the Taiwan Province Strait to prevent the China People's Liberation Army from crossing the sea to attack Taiwan Province Province.

The representative of the United States to the United Nations submitted a motion to the Security Council authorizing the formation of a "United Nations force" to help South Korea resist the attack of the North Korean army. In June 1950 to June 1, the representative of the Soviet Union was absent for protesting against the refusal of the United Nations to accept People's Republic of China (PRC) as a new member. The motion passed the proposal of the United States with a vote of 13 1, demanding that all member States give "necessary assistance" to South Korea militarily.

The "United Nations Army" is dominated by American troops, and other 15 countries also sent a small number of troops to participate in the war. On July 5, American troops took part in the first battle against North Korea.

The Korean People's Army successively launched the battles of Seoul, Tieyuan, Daejeon and Luodongjiang, occupying 90% of South Korea's territory and 92% of its population, and compressing South Korea and the US military in a narrow area between Daegu and Busan, about 1 10,000 square kilometers east of Luodongjiang. On August 3 1 day, the battle of Busan started again, and the advance troops reached the 35th latitude line, but since then, the battle has been in a stalemate. ?

4. American troops crossed the 38th parallel, threatening China's security.

1On June 28th, 950, Mao Zedong delivered a speech, calling on "the people of the whole country and the people of the whole world to unite and make full preparations to defeat any provocation of American imperialism." On the same day, Zhou Enlai issued a statement on behalf of the China government, strongly condemning the crimes committed by the United States in invading North Korea, Taiwan Province Province and interfering in Asian affairs.

Call on "all mankind in the world who love peace, justice and freedom, especially the oppressed nations and people in the East, to stand up and stop the new aggression of American imperialism in the East." On July 6th, Zhou Enlai issued a statement again, pointing out that the UN Security Council resolution on North China on June 27th was illegal and the people of resolutely opposed it.

1950 10 In July, the Korean People's Movement Committee to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea was established in Beijing. 14 In June, the Notice on Holding the Movement Week to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea was issued.

The movement to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea began to spread throughout the country, forming its first climax. According to Mao Zedong's proposal, the Central Military Commission made the "Decision on Defending Northeast Frontier Defense" in July 13, and transferred more than 255,000 troops from 13 Corps to form the Northeast Frontier Defense Force. Later, the 9 th and 19 th Corps were transferred as second-line troops and assembled in the motor area near the railway lines of Jinpu and Longhai respectively.

1950 September 15, the U.S. Army 10 landed in Incheon, the west coast of the southern Korean peninsula. The Korean People's Army was caught between Scylla and Charybdis, suffered heavy losses and turned to a strategic retreat. On September 30th, Zhou Enlai gave a speech warning the United States: "The people of China will never tolerate foreign aggression, nor will they allow the imperialists to ignore the aggression of neighboring countries. "

But MacArthur decided that China did not dare to send troops to confront the United States, so the United States ignored the repeated warnings of the China administration. On June+10/October 1 day, 65438, the US military crossed the 38th parallel of north latitude and occupied Pyongyang in June 19, in an attempt to quickly occupy the whole of Korea, and openly claimed: "Historically, the Yalu River was not an insurmountable obstacle to the complete separation of China and North Korea." At the same time, American planes repeatedly violated China's airspace and bombed Dandong, and the war was about to burn to the Yalu River. ?

108, the DPRK government requested China to send troops for assistance. At the request of the North Korean government, China made a decision to "resist US aggression and aid Korea and defend the country" and quickly formed Chinese people's Volunteer Army to join the Korean War.

On the evening of 65438+ 10 19, Peng led the 38th, 39th, 40th and 42nd armies (followed by the 50th and 66th armies) and 1, 2nd and 8th artillery divisions in Chinese people's Volunteer Army, as well as an anti-aircraft artillery regiment and two engineers.
