Explanation:
According to history, one of the main causes of the Korean War was the creation of the 38th parallel and its violation by the Northern Korean soldiers. This action led to the division between South and North Korea. The Korean war surfaced after World War II as the Southern part was greatly supported by the United Nations while the Northern part was dominated and supported by the Soviet Union & the Republic of China. Another cause of the Korean War was when during the Cold War, North Korea created a communist government and as a result of its intention to expand its borders, established a political border leading to a war between the two divided parts.
