Joseph+Stalin

Joseph Stalin who was the leader of the Soviet Union at the time and The USA invaded Korea after world war 2 ended. Soviet union took over the North part of Korea where they encouraged the citizens to make their government communist just like the Soviet union. And while in the south the USA was making the south become a democracy. A democracy is a government where the people run it and they get to vote for their leader on the other hand in a communist government is where the state or country operates everything from factories to shops and the people are not allowed to vote. Because of the Soviet Union and Joseph Stalin the Korean war began because they were on a mission to make all governments in undeveloped countries at the time to become communist. Thankfully for the world though Joseph Stalin died on March 5, 1953 but nobody knows how but some people think he died of food poisoning or a heart attack, he was 74. So Stalin is not known as a hero to many countries except for probably North Korea and the Soviet Union. The leader of Korea during the war was Syngman Rhee.
