Scenario: Korean Firestorm

Orgins of conflict
The origins of conflict in Korea had started at the end of World War II in 1945. The partition of Korea into the Soviet Zone in the north and the US Zone in the south had divided the Korean Peninsula. The Soviet Union and the United States had agreed on the surrender and disarming of Japanese troops in Korea. The Soviet Union accepting the surrender of Japanese weaponry north of the 38th Parallel and the United States taking the surrender south of it. This decision by the allied armies soon became the basis for the division of Korea by the two superpowers, exacerbated by their inability to agree on the terms of Korean independence. The two Cold War rivals then established their own government sympathetic to their own ideologies, leading to Korea's current division into two political entities: North Korea and South Korea.

Korean War 1950-1953:

On June 25th 1950, the North Korean President Kim Il Sung ordered an invasion across the 38th Parallel into South Korea. The South Korean President Syngman Rhee asked the United Nations for help which arrived quickly. In 1951 the Chinese leader Mao Tse Tung entered China into the war on North Koreas side. By 1953 it was all over. Over 450,00 Chinese "Volunters had died along with 5 Million Koreans being killed or maimed. The Demilitaried Zone was drawn roughly were it was before the war.
