The Korean War From Partition to Pusan and Panmunjom: Was It Worth the Cost?

The Korean War claimed nearly 34,000 American lives and millions of Korean lives. But was it worth it?

Often called the “Forgotten War,” the Korean War was the first major conflict of the Cold War — fought from 1950 to 1953 between North and South Korea, with the U.S., United Nations, China, and the Soviet Union deeply involved.

This video goes beyond the battles to reflect on the legacy of the war:

• How Korea was divided after WWII and why the 38th Parallel became a fault line
• The outbreak of war in 1950 and early U.S. setbacks at the Pusan Perimeter
• Turning points like the Inchon Landing and Chinese intervention
• Why the conflict ended in stalemate with no peace treaty
