Before 1950 most people in the United States had never heard of Korea. After the North Korean army crossed the 38th Parallel in to South Korea, on June 25, 1950, many people suddenly became aware of this faraway Asian peninsula. The United Nations Security Council voted to send troops to counter the invasion. Fifteen nations sent combat troops and additional five sent medical support. Ninety percent of the non-Korean United Nations troops wee from the United States and the overall command of the troops was in the hands of American generals. Combat was extremely fierce during the three years of war. Almost a million Chinese communist troops joined the North Koreans five months after the war started. The Soviet Union supported Chinese and North Koreans with money and supplies. Severe weather conditions and the rugged terrain magnified the difficulties encountered by the UN forces. At the war's conclusion more than 33,600 US military personnel were listed as killed in action and over 2,700 had died in captivity. In addition, approximately 8.000 Americans were listed missing in action and 103,000 wounded. Combat ceased following the armistice on July 27,953 which created the boundary between the two Koreas.
