Believing it could act with impunity in a world exhausted by war, communist North Korea decided to invade and annex Western-allied South Korea in June 1950. President Harry S.

America's first limited war-and the first armed conflict of the cold war era-had begun. Three years of brutal fighting followed, leading to the deaths of more than half a million North Korean and Chinese soldiers and of more than 50,000 Americans.
