Not another war. Kim Il Sung was given the go-ahead by Stalin, leading to what war in 1950?

Yet another war began in Asia in June of 1950. The Korean War was a proxy war for the Cold War and became its first military action, with American troops siding with South Korea, while the Soviet Union supported the north's Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. Some feared an escalation of this war would result in WWIII. Luckily, it ended in 1953; but not without 5 million deaths and a divided Korean peninsula.
