Further Explanation:

The Cold War tension pushed over to North Korea and South Korea. The tension between the USA and North Korea is a reminder of the conflict which was around 70 years ago. The Korean War continued for three years from 1950 to 1953. It was a bloody conflict in which millions of Koreans died. After the war, the US wanted to build a trading relationship with Korea whereas Russia wanted to increase the sphere of influence. Americans were creped by the danger of communism and this threat of communism led to split between North Korea and South Korea along the 38th parallel. Eventually, North Korea became the supporter of Soviet and South Korea became a supporter of the USA. In 1950, the Soviet boycotted the entry of China in the United Nations. Then-President of USA Harry Truman used force against North Korea. USA and Russia both were engaged in conflict out of the fear of direct war which had chances to escalate out nuclear war. The Korean dispute dragged China on North Korea side and other UN members were on South Korean side and finally the dispute ended in July1953.
