3rd week of Korean War - 44th division and South Korean army on the front part I | Combat Bulletins

The Korean War (25 June 1950 -- armistice signed 27 July 1953) was a military conflict between South Korea, supported by the United Nations, and North Korea, supported by the People's Republic of China (PRC), with military material aid from the Soviet Union. The war was a result of the physical division of Korea by an agreement of the victorious Allies at the conclusion of the Pacific War at the end of World War II.
The Korean peninsula was ruled by Japan from 1910 until the end of World War II. Following the surrender of Japan in 1945, American administrators divided the peninsula along the 38th Parallel, with United States troops occupying the southern part and Soviet troops occupying the northern part.
The failure to hold free elections throughout the Korean Peninsula in 1948 deepened the division between the two sides, and the North established a Communist government. The 38th Parallel increasingly became a political border between the two Koreas. Although reunification negotiations continued in the months preceding the war, tension intensified. Cross-border skirmishes and raids at the 38th Parallel persisted. The situation escalated into open warfare when North Korean forces invaded South Korea on 25 June 1950. It was the first significant armed conflict of the Cold War.
The United Nations, particularly the United States, came to the aid of South Korea in repelling the invasion. A rapid UN counter-offensive drove the North Koreans past the 38th Parallel and almost to the Yalu River, and the People's Republic of China (PRC) entered the war on the side of the North. The Chinese launched a counter-offensive that pushed the United Nations forces back across the 38th Parallel. The Soviet Union materially aided the North Korean and Chinese armies. In 1953, the war ceased with an armistice that restored the border between the Koreas near the 38th Parallel and created the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), a 2.5-mile (4.0 km) wide buffer zone between the two Koreas. Minor outbreaks of fighting continue to the present day.
With both North and South Korea sponsored by external powers, the Korean War was a proxy war. From a military science perspective, it combined strategies and tactics of World War I and World War II: it began with a mobile campaign of swift infantry attacks followed by air bombing raids, but became a static trench war by July 1951.

At the time most people did NOT think so because 5 years earlier the US fought Germany and Japan which were heavily industrialized while North Korea and Red China were far from being industrialized.The war against Germany and Japan involved everything from rationing to complete surrender.the Korean War had none of that.It was to keep the Reds out of South Korea.I would say the UN and the Allies DID win the war because they kept out the Reds.

@Fabzil - LOL? "...making the american the good guys and the other the bad guys."

Don't bother responding - this is pathetic.

[Fabzil]

@sudaev Well as a non-american, I can clearly see that the video is here to show the good side of the war, making the american the good guys and the other the bad guys. Let's say it is not as objective as a historian would like. But as I say, it is army history video, so propaganda is genuine ^^

[freedomwv]

All this war because two different government types did not agree with each other. Damn we humans can be weak minded sometimes.
