North Korea and South Korea was once one country combined. That changed soon after World War II. Since the Soviet Union controlled North Korea it was mainly Communist. North and South Korea were separated on the 38th parallel line. The United States controlled South Korea so it was mainly democratic.

The UN thought that the invasion was "a violation of international peace," and demanded that the Communists withdraw from South Korea.
