The Korean War, from June 25, 1950 to July 27, 1953 , was a conflict between North Korea and South Korea. (Although a cease-fire and repatriations were made, the war was never ended by treaty.)

Some consider this Cold War-era conflict to have been a proxy war between the United States and its allies, and the Communist powers of the People's Republic of China and the Soviet Union. The principal combatants were

  • North Korea, supported by People's Volunteer Army (PVA) of Communist China, and later Soviet combat advisors, aircraft pilots, and weapons; and
  • South Korea, supported principally by the United States (U.S.), the United Kingdom (UK), and the Philippines, although many other nations sent troops under the aegis of the United Nations (UN).

In South Korea, it is often called "625" (the date of the start of the conflict), or, more formally, Hanguk Jeonjaeng.

In the United States, the conflict was termed a police action, as the Korean Conflict, under the aegis of the United Nations, rather than a war, largely in order to remove the necessity of a Congressional declaration of war.
