#Controversy over historical narratives in the Korean War There are indeed many points of dispute and different interpretations in the historical narrative of the Korean War. All parties (such as China, North Korea, South Korea, the United States, and the Soviet Union/Russia) have formed different historical perspectives based on their own positions and available archival materials. The main disputes include： ## Main points of dispute -**Causes of war**: There are different theories about who started the war first and the degree of prior knowledge of the Soviet Union and China. -**China's decision to participate in the war**: There are different explanations for the motivation and process of China's decision to send troops -**Nature of war**: Is it a "war against the United States and North Korea", a "United Nations peacekeeping operation" or a proxy war? -**Bioweapons allegations**: China and North Korea have accused the US military of using bioweapons, but the evidence is disputed. ## Changes in historical interpretation With the end of the cold war and the decryption of more archives, some historical narratives have been revised or supplemented. The academic and official positions of different countries are also constantly evolving and changing. It is worth noting that historical narratives are often subject to political needs and ideological factors, which exist to varying degrees on all parties participating in the war. Understanding this history requires synthesizing multiple perspectives and critically analyzing different sources of information.
