Answer 1

A major event like the Korean War cannot be covered in a short paragraph, but you can pick what you want from -

Period : June 25, 1950 - July 27, 1953 (technically though, the conflict hasn't been officially terminated yet)

Nature : Civil war between the states of North Korea and South Korea

Major Participants :
North Korean Side - People's Republic of China, assisted by Soviet combat advisors, military pilots, and weapons.

South Korean Side - United Nations (UN) forces, comprising United States personnel mainly

Other Names :
In South Korea, the war is also called 6.25, from the date of the start of the conflict. In North Korea, it is formally called the Fatherland Liberation War

The war is sometimes referred to outside Korea as "The Forgotten War", as it is a major 20th century conflict rarely mentioned. In China, the conflict was known as the War to Resist America and Aid Korea.

Causes : After World War II, the US and the erstwhile USSR divided the Korean peninsula along the 38th parallel in a post-Japanese occupation period. The two zones elected their respective governments under supervision by the USA and USSR. North Korea ended up with a communist government, while South Korea set up an anti-communist one. After the Russians and Americans withdrew in 1949, the North Koreans, in a bid to gain control over the entire peninsula, attacked South Korea in 1950.

Active Fighting ended by :
With the UN's acceptance of India's proposal for a Korean armistice, a cease-fire was established on July 27, 1953, by which time the front line was back around the proximity of the 38th parallel, and so a demilitarized zone (DMZ) was established around it, still defended to this day by North Korean troops on one side and South Korean and American troops on the other.

Answer 2

It started in July of 1950 when the North Korean Army pushed into South Korea and pushed the ill-prepared ROK and UN forces back to the Pusan Perimeter, an area defined by the southern port of Pusan.

All of Korea had been under Japanese rule prior to the end of World War II. South Korea was administered by the United Nations, primarily led by the U.S., while North Korea had been occupied by the Soviet Union, which helped establish a Communist state and provided equipment and advisers to them. The North Korean objective was to re-unite Korea under Communist rule when they invaded.

The UN forces, led by the U.S., established a defensive line around the Pusan Perimeter and were able to establish and maintain air superiority, however they were unable to establish a land offensive until the Inchon landings, conceived by General of the Army Douglas MacArthur.

Prior to the Inchon landings the only real successes of the ROK and UN forces were due to airpower, primarily provided by the U.S. Air Force, Navy and Marines.

Following the Inchon landings, the UN forces pushed the North Koreans almost into China, but the Chinese intervened, sending divisions into Korea and setting up a stalemated land war that lasted until 1953.

The countries involved on the UN side included the U.S., Britain, Canada, Turkey, the Republic of Korea and several others. On the Communist side the countries were North Korea and China, but the Soviet Union provided material support and advisers throughout the conflict. They also probably had fighter pilots flying against the UN air units.

Hostilities ended in 1953 when President Eisenhower pushed for a negotiated end to the war. No final peace has ever been signed and the war officially has never ended, but an armistice is in effect.
