Korean War

1950-1953 conflict between North and South Korea that involved U.S. intelligence programs and connections to later covert operations in Southeast Asia.

1950–1953 · Korean Peninsula

The Korean War was a conflict that began in 1950, involving North Korea (supported by China and the Soviet Union) and South Korea (supported by the United Nations, primarily the United States). During this period, the United States was preoccupied with the war, as well as economic and social conditions in Europe, and the political battle with the Soviet Union.1

Israel publicly supported the American position in the Korean War. David Ben-Gurion even secretly offered to send Israeli troops to fight alongside the United Nations forces in South Korea, but President Harry S. Truman declined the offer, reportedly fearing it would lead to a security arrangement with Israel. Israel's stance on the Korean War, however, angered Moscow and led to a rupture in diplomatic relations between the two nations.1
