The war\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ebegan on 25 June 1950 when North Korea invaded South Korea following clashes along the border\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eand rebellions in South Korea.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNorth Korea was supported by China and the Soviet Union while South Korea was supported by the\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnited States and allied countries. The fighting ended with an armistice on 27 July 1953.In 1910, Imperial\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJapan annexed Korea, where it ruled for 35 years until its surrender at the end of World War II on 15\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAugust 1945. The United States and the Soviet Union divided Korea along the 38th parallel into two\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ezones of occupation. The Soviets administered the northern zone, and the Americans administered\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethe southern zone. In 1948, because of Cold War tensions, the occupation zones became two sovereign\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003estates. A communist state, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, was established in the north\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eunder the totalitarian rule of Kim Il Sung, while a capitalist state, the Republic of Korea, was established\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ein the south under the autocratic leadership of Syngman Rhee. Both governments claimed to be the\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003esole legitimate government of all of Korea, and neither accepted the border as permanent. Since Puerto\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRico is a commonwealth of the United States, every Boricua had to be prepared to fight any war that\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethe United States was involved in.
