From the transcript

Sometimes referred to as the Forgotten War, the three years of fighting between North and South Korea was far from forgettable. At the end of the Second World War, and following the departure of the ruling Japanese, the Korean Peninsula was formally divided.

In the North, was Communist leader Kim Orsung, supported by Soviet forces, while the capital of South was under the control of Singman Rhee and American soldiers.

Both the Americans and the Soviets had withdrawn by 1949, but they were soon to return when, in 1915, North Korea invaded the South. The United Nations sent forces to the South, with much support coming from America.
