1. Who started the Korean War?
CCP Shill, wumao, little pink and troll: The USA.
Fact: North Korea attacked South Korea on June 25, 1950.
After five years of simmering tensions on the Korean peninsula, the Korean War began on June 25, 1950, when the Northern Korean People’s Army invaded South Korea in a coordinated general attack at several strategic points along the 38th parallel, the line dividing communist North Korea from the non-communist Republic of Korea in the south. North Korea aimed to militarily conquer South Korea and therefore unify Korea under the communist North Korean regime. Concerned that the Soviet Union and Communist China might have encouraged this invasion, President Harry S. Truman committed United States air, ground, and naval forces to the combined United Nations forces assisting the Republic of Korea in its defense. President Truman designated General Douglas MacArthur as Commanding General of the United Nations Command (UNC).

4. Why did China join the Korean War?
CCP Shill, wumao, little pink and troll: Self defense against the USA.
Fact: China was afraid that North Korea, which China was backing, was going to lose. That would expose China directly to the Americans. China desperately needed North Korea as a buffer state against the Americans.

What were the factors that led the Chinese to decide that they had to enter the war on behalf of North Korea? It has been generally accepted in the west that the Chinese were motivated by a combination of Chinese xenophobic attitudes, security concerns, expansionist tendencies and the communist ideology.
