4. South Korea The Australian soldiers fought for South Korea in the Korean war against North Korea. Australia got involved by the United Nation Security Council asking all its member to help rebel to North Korea’s attack. 21 nations responded including Australia.

5. Involvement & Winner Our involvement in the war wasn’t massive but it made a difference. We also participated in a halt attack, after fierce fighting which our positions were over run. A while later we recaptured our positions and stalled Chinese advance. In this halt battle 32 men killed, 53 wounded for there contribution to action. There was no conclusive winner in the war, but since the war south Korea and north Korea dislike each other and tension builds.
