With the support of U.N and U.S a democratic government was established in South Korea, while, in the North Korea a communist government with the support of U.S.S.R was established. South Korea was invaded by North Korea and U.S supported South Korea under the policy of Containment and sent troops to combat the North Korean forces who were helped by the Russians.
