How did australia become involved in the korean war?

I've found heaps on the vietnam war, but that really doesn't help when I'm doing an assignment on the korean war. Any info is really appreciated. Thanks!|||,ANZUS Australia New Zealand United States.





Sort of a South Pacific version of NATO. Open the llnk for your answerr.|||The Korean War was actually a Peace Enforcement Mission organized and authorized by the UN Security Council under the authority granted it by Chapter Seven of the UN Charter. Under the terms of Article 45 of the UN Charter, member states are expected to put troops at the disposal of the UN Security Council for peacekeeping mission under Chapter Six of the Charter and peace enforcement under Chapter Seven. That is precisely what Australia did.|||I remember watching an educational show that it was either the Koreans were taking Australian hostages or Korea was invading Australia and they were fending them off. Sorry I couldn't be more helpfull but it's a very vague memory... also duh I was thinking but wasn't sure, they're part of the U.N. and sent NATO troops. GTA IV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!|||They had a alliance with us called ANZUS, and that was used in the UN peacekeeping forces in NK.|||They were one of the participating countries in the U.N. Forces.|||i would go with TedEx i agree all the way|||TedEx is right.
