The newly remilitarized Japan soon joined it's main ally, the United States, in a "coalition of the willing" of Asia-Pacific countries and NATO member states, to bring the war into North Korea. South Koreans are holding well but the North Koreans were soon reinforced with volunteer forces and advanced military equipments from mainly China, Venezuela, Cuba, and last but not least, Iran, which exacted it's toll into the former's military power.
