The Soviet Union was boycotting the UN for recognizing Taiwan (Republic of China) as China, and China (People's Republic of China) on the mainland was not recognized by the UN, so neither could support their ally North Korea at the Security Council meeting.
The United Nations Security Council denounced the North Korean move as an invasion and authorized the formation of the United Nations Command and the dispatch of forces to Korea to repel it. Joseph Stalin had final decision power and several times demanded North Korea postpone the invasion, until he gave final approval in spring 1950. North Korean military ( Korean People's Army, KPA) forces crossed the border and drove into South Korea on 25 June 1950. Both governments of the two new Korean states claimed to be the sole legitimate government of all of Korea, and neither accepted the border as permanent. A socialist state, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, was established in the north under the totalitarian communist leadership of Kim Il-sung, while a capitalist state, the Republic of Korea, was established in the south under the authoritarian, autocratic leadership of Syngman Rhee. In 1948, as a result of Cold War tensions, the occupation zones became two sovereign states. The Soviets administered the northern zone and the Americans administered the southern zone. The United States and the Soviet Union divided Korea along the 38th parallel into two zones of occupation. In 1910, Imperial Japan annexed Korea, where it ruled for 35 years until its surrender at the end of World War II on 15 August 1945. The fighting ended with an armistice on 27 July 1953. North Korea was supported by China and the Soviet Union while South Korea was supported by the United States and allied countries. The war began on 25 June 1950 when North Korea invaded South Korea following clashes along the border and rebellions in South Korea. The Korean War (also known by other names such as the "625 War") was fought between North Korea and South Korea from 1950 to 1953.
