Korean War (1950-1953)
War between the Republic of Korea (South Korea) and the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (North Korea) that dragged many other countries into it (United Nations on ones side, USSR and China on the other). The North Korea army attacked their neighbour and used the surprise factor to push them far down the Korean peninsula. American intervention, supported by forces of different United Nations countries, helped to stop the inevitable wipe-out of South Korea army and push the aggressors back. The impressive naval landing in Inchon and quick actions of American army changed the situation on front. It seemed that North Korea forces will be defeated, when their northern neighbour and political supporter, the Communist China, have invaded the Korea. Over million Chinese soldiers that joined their North Korean comrades again changed the balance of power on the peninsula and now American forces had to retreat. Fights were going on for over 3 years and ended by cease fire (and not formal end of war), which haven’t changed to this day - both Koreas are formally still at war.
