Abstract
The competence between the USSR and the US had caused the world to become divisive after the Second World War. The Marshall Plan, the Sovietization of Eastern Europe, and the establishment of NATO had split Europe into its Western and Eastern halves. These two Great Powers started to use the opportunity to enlarge their spheres of influence in Asia. Korean Peninsula partition, the Chinese Civil War, and American occupation of Japan. The Korean War was a subject that came up a lot since it was one of the causes of the Cold War. The key elements are how it started, progressed, and ended. The purpose of this essay is to explore who started the Korean War and who escalated the conflict. Based on original materials from the United States, the Soviet Union, and the United Nations, the author made the assumption that Kim started the worst disaster since the Second World War and that the US made matters worse by escalating the local civil war into a regional conflict.
