Question

world war two had alliances the Allies and the Axis...
did the korean war have any? and what were the countries that participated in the korean war

what weapons were used in each war?

Answer 1

The Chinese were allied with the North Koreans while the United States was allied with the South.

Answer 2

The United Nations vs northern Korea. By treaty after WWII, all of Korea was to be demilitarized and an election held to determine its path. This happened in the south where the "army" was scattered police units but the Soviet Union re-armed northern Korea. With the communist Chinese forcing the US/GB/FR allied Nationalist Chinese out of mainland China, the Soviet Union granted China the primary interest in Korea so northern Korea was backed by both the Soviet Union and The People's Republic of China. The UN declared war after northern Korea invaded and all but overran the largely undefended south when the Soviet Union boycotted it and was unable to void the vote in the Security Council. Many countries fought in Korea. Many of the Mig pilots were Soviet and Chinese pilots on loan. Many countries including Great Britain, Australia, Turkey, and many others fought there but by and large, the US military and the US created southern Korean military did the fighting for the UN. I really don't believe there were any actual alliances as was the case during WWII. The Chinese only entered the war after the UN armies obliterated the northern Korean armies and had occupied nearly the whole country and that was unofficial (they claimed that volunteer militias not under the control of the Communist Chinese government were involved). The Chinese were largely defeated in turn but the experience with the last occupation of the northern part paralyzed the US government and the Chinese armies were re-enforced in mountainous terrain where a war of attrition more like WWI then happened causing the American public to grow disaffected with the war and President Truman's popularity collapsed. The war never ended by the way; only an armistice was signed and shooting at the DMZ was happening routinely throughout the cold war.

Answer 3

South Korean Alliance; Republic of Korea (ROK), United States, United Nations Forces consisting of Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United Kingdom comprised the British Commonwealth Forces. Belgium, Luxembourg, Colombia, Ethiopia, France, Greece, the Netherlands, the Philippines and Thailand had battalion-sized units attached to U.S. Army divisions; Turkey deployed an infantry brigade.

North Korean Alliance; Democratic Republic of North Korea, China and the Soviet Union

Answer 4

North Korea was backed by Red China (Communist) and the then USSR also Communist, and the South Koreans a democracy was backed by us the USA and a couple of other free countries, so it was Communism against Democracy.

That war was part of the "Cold War", which was "hot" there in the Korean War, Viet Nam (also communists against us), etc.
