Document 1
This passage comes from a Chinese high school textbook.

The United States had one goal following the war—to expand its military and economic power across Asia. On June 25, 1950, President Truman ordered the invasion of North Korea. The United States manipulated the United Nations to build an army that included fifteen nations. This American army marched across the 38th parallel and spread across the peninsula, bringing war to the banks of the Yula River. To resist the Americans and defend China, the People's Volunteer Army joined the North Korean army in repelling the American invasion.

Document 3
This passage comes from a South Korean high school textbook.

After the division, North Korea attempted to overthrow South Korea's government. When this proved impossible, the North Korean communists began to prepare themselves for war while pretending to negotiate peacefully. On June 25, 1950, the north began its invasion of the south. The south was taken by surprise, but the
armies of South Korea fought bravely to defend their liberties. This action moved the United Nations Security Council to declare the invasion by the north illegal and a threat to peace. A decision was made to help the south, and a UN army, led by the United States, Britain, and France, joined the South Korean forces in an effort to repel the invasion.
