Abstract

All throughout history, Korea has been a peninsula in the Far East where the common interests of three sovereign powers (Russia, China, Japan) met and each of whom wanted to have it. Its geopolitical position has made Korea a bridge between the Asian Continent and the Japanese Islands since ancient times, turning them into a battlefield. The Korean War between South and North Korea, which lasted from June 1950 to July 1953, is in fact a US-USSR conflict. With North Korea crossing the 38th parallel and capturing Seoul, the United Nations Security Council called for military assistance to South Korea. As per this call, the soldiers of 15 Western countries, including the Turkish Armed Forces, formed the “Korean Union” and participated in the war in Korea. While the Korean War impacted the entire world, Korea itself paid a terrible price in loss of life, family separation, and the destruction of property and homes, not to mention the millions of refugees. Even the eating habits and structure of Korean food were changed.
