North invaded the south the US got involved. The United nations invades and we push them to the border of china. Truman didnt want us to invade china. they invaded we pushed them back we push them they push us back it was a back and forth war. Eisenhower stopped the war. North and South Korea are still at war. Korea has nuclear weapons. they are on the acts of evil list. They send weapons to countries that we dont like. North Korea is in bad shape and South Korea is in good shape.
