The Korean War began when North Korean troops swept across the thirty-eighth parallel and quickly drove the troops of the Republic of Korea to the toe of the Korean peninsula, in June, 1950. This was a test of the Truman Doctrine, and the policy of "containment." President Truman had stationed American troops in South Korea and an American fleet was already in Korean waters. Thanks to the absence of the Soviet delegation at the United Nations, Truman got that body to sponsor a "police action" in Korea to push the North Koreans back across the thirty-eighth parallel. The US made up most of the "police" in Korea
The purpose of the Korean War was to keep communism from spreading to the south and beyond. This 'contained' the threat to the area now known as North Korea.

Communism was contained in Korea; the communists failed in their conquest of South Korea.
Communism expanded in Vietnam; the communists succeeded in their conquest of South Vietnam.
