The Korean War had its immediate origins in the collapse of the Japanese empire at the end of World War II in September 1945

Consequently the allies decided to divide the territory, into two halves along the 38th parallel, with an ultimate aim of reunification, which was not forthcoming. The northern unpopular regime decided to initiate the agreement and the war broke.
