Korean War, 1950–3. On 25 June 1950 the communist North Korean army attacked the Republic of South Korea, crossing the 38th Parallel, which acted as the artificial boundary. The army of the South was forced to retreat. On 27 June the United Nations voted to provide military aid and the USA led a fifteen‐nation task force to the peninsula. On 15 September the UN gained the initiative by launching an amphibious assault on Inchon and pushed north capturing Pyongyang, the North Korean capital. However, by January 1951 the communists, massively reinforced by China, were marching south again. A cease‐fire came into effect on 10 July. The two Koreas remained implacably opposed until the 21st cent.
