Korea is a cold war tension because it was split in half by communists and nationalists. The communist leader was Mao Zedong and the nationalist leader was Chaing Kai-Shek. It was separated by the US, the nationalists were in the south and communists were in the north. The US did this because of our foreign policy of containment. The US split the country with a line called the 38th parallel. later on though the north had invaded the south and started the korean war. The US suported the south so they could hopefully stop the spread of communism.
