The US fought for South Korea. they were just to help South Korea because North Korea is invading them.

In Korean war, Truman did not give gun power for South Korea because he thought Korea as not trustful enough to lend their power. But Stalin(Maybe he was the leader back then...) lent their heavy artilleries to North Korea.
