Understanding the Answer
Let's break down why this is correct
Answer
The United States led the United Nations forces that defended South Korea after North Korea’s invasion in 1950, sending troops, aircraft, and naval support to repel the attack. US soldiers fought in key battles such as the Pusan Perimeter and the Inchon landing, which turned the tide in favor of the South. The U. S. also negotiated the 1953 armistice that ended active combat, and it kept troops in Korea afterward to deter further aggression.
Detailed Explanation
The U.S. Other options are incorrect because Many think the war ended with a peace treaty, but it actually ended with an armistice, which stops fighting but does not create a formal peace; Some believe North Korea alone started the war, but the Cold War made both sides act.
