How the Korean War Started: Inside the Global Power Struggle That Split a Nation and Changed the 20th Century

By Collins JK. Smith

One war. Two ideologies. A world changed forever.

What really happened when Korea was torn in two?

Behind the barbed wire of the 38th parallel lies one of the most explosive-and forgotten-chapters in global history. How the Korean War Started pulls you into the shadows of secret meetings, midnight invasions, and Cold War paranoia that lit the fuse of a devastating conflict.

From the ashes of Japan's surrender in World War II to the brutal stand-off between North and South, this gripping, cinematic narrative reads like a thriller-but every word is true. Experience the rise of Kim Il-sung, the power plays of Stalin, the desperation of Syngman Rhee, and the haunting moment when global superpowers turned a divided peninsula into a deadly chessboard.

If you think the Korean War was just a footnote in history-think again.

- Learn how a temporary divide at the 38th parallel became a permanent scar

- Discover the Cold War strategy behind North Korea's invasion of the South

- Uncover how China's unexpected entry shocked the world

- Understand why this "forgotten war" still shapes nuclear politics and global tension today

This book is more than history. It's a window into how global power struggles, ideological warfare, and foreign intervention shattered a nation-and how that fracture continues to rattle the modern world.
