The Korean War in our timeline's main focus was driving out the communists in North Korea out of South Korea. In this timeline, the UN and NATO's main objective is reuniting Korea (they still would have loved doing this in our timeline). With the death of Stalin in the Soviet Union, bombings in the Germanies stopped for somewhere around six weeks. This gave time for NATO and the UN to begin the war in Korea. In North Korea, the communists were supported by the Soviet Union and the People's Republic of China.

| - The Korean War in our timeline's main focus was driving out the communists in North Korea out of South Korea. In this timeline, the UN and NATO's main objective is reuniting Korea (they still would have loved doing this in our timeline). With the death of Stalin in the Soviet Union, bombings in the Germanies stopped for somewhere around six weeks. This gave time for NATO and the UN to begin the war in Korea. In North Korea, the communists were supported by the Soviet Union and the People's Republic of China. With the bombings in Germany proving useless, Truman ordered a ceasefire on January 18 and made it publicly known to the Soviet Union. A few days after the ceasefire, the Soviet Union stopped as well. The tension, however, was still there. Truman compared the days as "bombs without physical damage." Every second of the day, there was tension. On January 23, Truman was made aware of a civil war in Korea between communist North Korea and democratic South Korea. Truman, who was feared greatly of the communist domino theory, informed NATO of the war in Korea. NATO leaders agreed that the bombings were just a waste of time and money. They needed to act fast on the spread of communism. After the United Nations put sanctions on North Korea, NATO was ready to invade the peninsula. On January 27, 1950, NATO began their first ever war as an organization. It marked the first time in history that an alliance as big as NATO worked so closely together on an invasion and acted it out so perfectly. The goal was to drive out he communist insurgents in Korea. The war began to look like complete domination on NATO's part. And in the first weeks of U.S. Marines and the UN crossed the 38th parallel to enter North Korea in August 1950, the goal was to completely reunite the Koreas under a democratic government. The reason for this was that they did not want to lose Korea the same way they lost Berlin. Before the UN invasion of Korea, it was almost reunited - but under communism in 1951 when the Chinese intervened.
