She curses him that his entire clan would be destroyed just like hers was.. Gandhari does 2 things in the end of the war, moved by sadness about the death of all of her sons.. Putramoh..

First, she asks to hug Bheema but Krishna stops Bheema from going to her and places a statue made of stone instead. It is said that Gandhari hugs the statue with all her might that the statue breaks to pieces..
Gandhari is enraged and she curses Krishna telling him that when he knew how to protect, he had failed to do so when it came to her sons. Hence his entire clan would be destroyed just like hers was.. And it does happen. Yadavas meet their end by killing each other.

It wasn't gandhari but Dhritrashtra who asked to hug Bheem. he had strength of 100 elephants , so Krishna replaces Bheem with a statue instead which Dhrit crushes down to pieces.
Gandhari also cursed Krishna that he would die the death of an animal, and so once when Krishna was sitting in a forest, a hunter happens to see his feet in the bushes, which he mistakens for some animal and shoots an arrow. And so Gandhari's curse comes true and Krishna left the world forever.

It wasn't Gandhari but Dhritrashtra who crushed the statue. Yadavas was the clan of Krishna , his descendents.
And Krishna did try to mediate and stop the war many times but Duryodhana's stubbornness and Draupadi's vow to seek justice for her insult ultimately led the war to happen.
Krishna also didn't stop the war as it was a war for Dharma and he had taken the avatar to eradicate Adharma and to re-establish Dharm in the world. as he himself told arjuna:
yada yada hi dharmasya
glanir bhavati bharata
abhyutthanam adharmasya
tadatmanam srjamy aham
Whenever and wherever there is a decline in religious practice, O descendant of Bharata, and a predominant rise of irreligion--at that time I descend Myself.

It could have been Dhrdhrashtra.. I forget. Thanks for correcting..😛

And I agree. .Krishna went very far to stop the war but he also knew that he would not be able to stop it inspite of the attempts made.
Krishna went as a Thoodh to Hastinapur asking Duryodhana to broker peace. He was insulted and was told that nothing can stop the war. It is then that he shows his Vishwarupa..

God will never die but Krishna's physical body was dead not Krishna.

God is not body.He is shapeless.

Understand this.

To come on Earth,God take Human form.And Human will surely die.

Yes, but he himself accepted her curse to respect her emotions. Besides, he was an avatar of Lord Vishnu and after his aim on earth was fulfilled he had to return to his abode in Baikunth lok.
