Korean War (Estonian soldier reacts)
Video Summary
The Korean War, fought from 1950-1953, was a devastating conflict that pitted the capitalist South Korea, backed by the United Nations, against the communist North Korea, supported by China and the Soviet Union. The war began when North Korean forces, led by Kim Il-sung, crossed the 38th parallel and invaded South Korea, prompting a request for UN assistance. The US, under President Harry Truman, launched a military response, and the UN Security Council, with the US abstaining from its veto power, authorized the deployment of troops to defend South Korea. The war was a stalemate, with both sides suffering heavy losses. The US, led by General Douglas MacArthur, launched a series of attacks, but they were met with Chinese intervention, and the war eventually ended with a ceasefire in 1953. The Korean War was a bloodiest conflict of the Cold War era, with over 3 million casualties and a lasting impact on the region.
