THE KOREAN WAR
The Korean War is also known as the "Forgotten War," because it was overshadowed by World War II and Vietnam. The Korean War was one of the first episodes of the Cold War and a lot of important personalities were involved: Truman, MacArthur, Mao, and Stalin. It began on June 25, 1950, when North Korean troops crossed the 38th parallel and invaded South Korea. Nearly 37,000 American servicemen died in three years. On this war U.S. soldiers retreat in the opening days of the war; there was the savage hill fighting during the last years of the conflict; and the Inchon landings by MacArthur.
Although an armistice was signed in 1953 between the United Nations, China and North Korea, South Korea refused to sign, leaving the two Koreas separate until today.
