Korean War Part 2

At the beginning of the war, the North Korea Army was wining the war, because they were well prepared and they got better weapons. However, the South Korea Army had no idea that North Korea was going to attack them.

At the end of August 1950, South Korea had been pushed all the way back to Bussan.

MacArthur ordered the army to create a ring defense circle outside Bussan. He also ordered the army not to retreat again because they were at the edge of the Korean peninsula.

Meanwhile, MacArthur went to Tokyo to meet with other generals to discuss a plan for counter attack in Korea.

MacArthur convinced other generals about his plan- Inchon Landing.

15 September 1950, MacArthur led 300 USA and UK navy boats and 500 USA and UK air forces to start landing in Inchon. The landing was really successful, most of the troops had land on Inchon safely, and they also took back most of the islands near Inchon. Then, MacArthur orders his troops to attacked the North Korea Army that are in the former South Korea territory.

22 September 1950, the United Nation Army in Bussan had started a counter attack; they pushed the North Korea Army back, met with MacArthur’s army and took back Seoul. Most of the North Korea Army had retreated back above the 38 Parallel Line.

And the United Nation Army had pushed the North Korean Army all the way back to the border between China and North Korea. General MacArthur wanted to take over whole part of North Korea and inter China to attack and took over the second biggest communist country in the world. However, the United Nation didn’t want to create more wars so they order MacArthur to stop in the border in between China and North Korea.
