Notes
Korea originally divided at end of WWII between USA and Russia along the 38th parallel
War between north and south Korea
OFten seen as a de-facto war between USA and its western allied and china and RUssia and other Communist states
War see-saws back and forth
Turning point at Inchon Landings
Chinese send almost a million troops to support the north
United Nations led by Gen. Macarthur
play by play:
North attacks south, pushed them back
UN landed a bunch of troops, pushed them very far, almost won
Late 1950, china sends almost a million troops in one day, pushed the UN back to a very south corner of the country, almost lost
MacArthur threatened nuclear weapons, instead used a surprise amphibious landing, and pushed them back to 38th parallel
