North Korea wanted to unify the two Koreas. South Korea was growing stronger politically, economically, and militarily. This newly powerful South Korea worried the leaders of North Korea. North Korea invaded South Korea in June of 1950. The war was a seesaw battle with neither country gaining an edge. The USA involvement was on a limited basis and vowed not to use atomic weapons. The Domino Theory stated that if one country falls to communism then all the neighbouring countries will also fall to communism. The United States, fully aware of the theory, committed to a “police action” in Korea.
