Hello, my name is Charles
The fall of the Japanese Empire at the end of World War II setup conditions for the Korean War. The final peace treaty allowed Russia to occupy the northern parts of the country while United States forces occupied the south. Governments arose in both occupied zones that claimed to be the one true government. The socialist government in the north finally chose to march south and the southern forces were not powerful enough to hold. They were driven back nearly to the sea. The Korean War was nearly over in weeks.
