The most important cause of desertification
of Korean peninsula
The
Korean War, 1950-1953
After
the USSR installed a Communist government in North Korea in September
1948, that government promoted and supported an insurgency in South
Korea in an attempt to bring down the recognized government and
gain jurisdiction over the entire Korean peninsula. Not quite two
years later, after the insurgency showed signs of failing, the northern
government undertook a direct attack, sending the North Korea People's
Army south across the 38th parallel before daylight on Sunday, June
25, 1950. The invasion, in a narrow sense, marked the beginning
of a civil war between peoples of a divided country. In a larger
sense, the cold war between the Great Power blocs had erupted in
open hostilities.
