I'll have to dismiss this with a statement that it is done with no knowledge of why the Korean War is launched.
Long story short:Speaking of which, I just realized that I don't really know why the Korean War stared.
Why did NK choose to launch a huge cross-border invasion at that time, and how much did it have to do with China?
Also Stalin had earlier agreed to return some naval ports to China, that were vital to Russia's Pacific navy. Stalin needed some new ones made available before the handover and thought that some Korean ports would be great. So he agreed with Kim on the idea into invading South Korea. But Stalin realized it would be bad Russia provided too much help, so he pulled China into it.Long story short:
Kim went to Stalin, begging for aids for the war. Stalin said "Only if Mao said he would back you up, and even then I'll just give you weapons". Because Mao was heavily indebted to both Kim (DPRK backed up Mao during the Civil War, and provided the initial troops that helped Mao break out of Manchuria) and Stalin (need I say more), and combined with Mao's personality, agreed to help Kim out, thus setting the stage for the war.
