The Korean War is the middle child of historical events, always forgotten.
It's even known as the Forgotten War
Joshua Jo there’s alot mote forgotten war out there
@@N3K0553 no, it's literally NAMED the Forgotten War lol (thats why I made the F and W capitals). Like World War 1 is also known as the Great War.
Joshua Jo ok then but there’s lot of war that was forgotten like the war of 1812.
@@N3K0553 for sure, not taking that away from you :)

I’m Turkish. Back in July I went to Washington DC, and I went to the Korean War Memorial. The amount of names on there were shocking. Even my own Great- Great Grandfather fought at sea during the war. At the memorial, it says “Freedom is not free” which really hits hard if you think about it.
형제의 나라!
@@user-rw3bk6wp4m 안녕하세요 형제
Thank you ❤
So all these countries interfere Korea inside conflict by use freedom as excuse and cut the country in deux part. But South Korea who has freedom just don’t have control of its own army.
“Freedom is not free”,this also applies to China and North Korea
My Grandpa was in the Air Force during the Korean War. He served as a radioman in Korea. He later served in Vietnam but back in the states. He retired as Tech Sergeant. He sadly passed away in 2020.
Thank you for your grandfather 's serving to Korea.

My grandfather fought for the U.S. Army in the war. He told me a story of his where he was in a bunker with his squad and a grenade came into the bunker and he was the closest to the exit and he got out of the bunker and was the only one to get out just in time seeing his friends all get blown apart and killed behind him. Though he did suffer an injury to his leg that was non-life threatening. He then afterwards got surrounded by North Koreans and had to go back and hide in the same bunker throwing his friends dead body over his and getting there blood on him so he looked dead too. He said he laid there in the bunker and pretended to be dead with his dead friends bodies on him for two days until the North Koreans were pushed back and he was later found by Americans and saved. He then suffered an infection in his foot and had a toe cut off. He then continued to fight with his toe cut off and what he just saw. My grandfather just past away February 9th 2021 peacefully at 91 years old. He was the hardest working man I’ve known and a great grandfather and I wished I would have sat down and learned more from him when I had the chance as he probably had many other stories to tell me.
Thank you...
Salute to such brave heroes.... May your Grandfather rest in peace....
He was a terrorist

Salute for your grandpa and i think my grandpa went to the war to

My granpa was 18 years old when the Korean war broke out. He ran away from home in North Korea to avoid getting recruited, but he was captured by the South Korean army and became a combat engineer. He said the images of bodies burnt by a flamethrower still haunts him. Poor old man passed away 4 years ago.

My grandad served in this war. He understandably never wanted to talk about it when I was a child though and passed before I reached an older age.
But I always heard from my mum (his daughter) that this was known as "The forgotten war".
My 4th Cousin Times Removed fought in the Korean War. He was also a WWII vet. He was nicknamed "The Spectacular Speck", since his name was James Speck. His story made its way onto Ripley's Believe it or Not. H was in a Cavalry Division In the Pacific. He crawled around 3 Japanese MG nests, shot a Japanese Sniper, and crawled back to reorganize his platoon. Later, he went to fight in Korea. He was a survivor.

My grandmother's father was killed in action. She told me that she still remembers the time when her father left home in the morning wearing a military uniform, saying he would be back soon. This is her last memory of her father. Also, my father's uncle was separated from his family during the war. During the family reunions, he was able to meet with his family briefly, but only for a few days and no news has been heard since.

Syngman Rhee's demonstration that he would go north alone hindered the cease-fire with his independent release. The Korea-U.S. Mutual Defense Treaty and the terms of the South Korean military build-up. At that time, Rhee Syngman's judgment was that the Korea-Japan forced merger and the division of the Korean Peninsula were distrusted in the mind that the U.S. could no longer trust the U.S. due to the betrayal of the U.S. The U.S. raised Rhee Syngman. The U.S. also prepared the so-called Everready Plan and appeasement plan to eliminate Rhee Syngman.

no one want to remember the war. that's first time US Army won't win..second time in Vietnam.
@@qwilder9680 they could easly win by using nuclear weapon but instead they wanted to setup a peace rather than completly demolish country like japan few years ago
@@hubertsawinski1011 oh yeah? they could easly win by using nuclear in Vietnam Iraq as well.. The cold war will became world war III if they using nuclear to soviet side. US afiard Russia find any excuse to use it after 1949 when Russia have it. Soviet Russia is not russia today , Stalin made decision easily and emotional. He was enjoyed a war if you want a war and his his well-known said that one death is a tragedy; one million is a statistic...
Q Wilder while they didn’t win it wasn’t a loss either, they succeeded in protecting South Korea and stopping the influence of communism
@@porridgegood1 Not to discussing politics, military failure means you can't achieve your strategic goals which was.Push to the Chinese border at that time. US and both Korea Army were lost cos they can't achieve their strategic target. but Chinese win it cos their goal is protect their Strategic buffer zone and help North Korea to hold their regime. so only China win the Military victory. although more KIA in the war, but we can't said Russia lost world war II cos more their soldiers died and wounded. They never want Korea become a unitary country. they want to did it again in vietnam unfortunate， it was failed

Honestly, South Korea has become such a shining example of how a country can go from literally nothing after being war torn to a complete machine of influence and development on the world stage. It’s truly amazing.
Architecture, fashion, music, movies, TV shows, cosmetics, skincare, technology, food (including traditional plates) … it’s made its way around the globe and so many countries are always looking to see what South Korea is doing. I mean, I don’t even live there and keep up with so much.
That is amazing considering just a little over half a century ago, the Korean War was happening and SK was struggling to pick up the pieces and make its name known to the world. Now it has a powerful voice.
I’ve yet to meet a South Korean who isn’t proud of their home country or at least has great respect with where they’re born and raised. They’ve been able to successfully merge tradition and culture with the modern world coming from nothing, which many countries are still struggling to do to this day. They made do with what they had and went for it.
Be proud of your country and your people. You are your own heroes, as well.
My Dad served in Korea. He was home on leave after training when they called a cease fire. There was still fighting going on when he arrived there
Thanks man I love it
Thanks to everyone who devoted their life for a small, poor and undeveloped country in Asia.
Their sacrifice rescued my nation and now South Korea is one of the most developed and advanced countries in Asia.
I really hope everybody to be proud of today's S.Korea because we are the living proof of the United Nation's effort to achieve peace on the earth.

Aside from Medal of Honor 2010, every modern and future game lost my interest the moment it was announced. I ended up playing them eventually, and they're all right, but I never got sick of WW2 games, so when they made a game that was one part invasion of not-Iraq and two parts Tom Clancy ripoff, and it all went downhill from there, I was always thinking "I could be playing Assassin's Creed instead."

Yet World War I, the Great Depression, and World War II get entire chapters of the textbook.

Awesome video as always! My great grandpa fought with the 65th infantry regiment (us army). He was shot in the head, and survived. He passed away of cancer in the 2000's. One of the bravest, and most amazing people in my whole family. RIP papa Campos.
One of the first to engage the enemy in the Korean war
The 65th Infantry Regiment was made up of native Puertoricans, my Great Grandfather was also one of them. His name was Lt. Benjamin Ramos. He survived being blown away from a grenade (and falling down a cliff in the process) when he and his unit where patrolling. He was the sole survivor between him and 5 other guys that got blown away. He later was wounded in combat, when fighting Chinese forces. And soon after he was sent back to the U.S in Kentucky., later surviving an airplane crash where the aircraft broke in half on landing. He broke his leg in the process but survived all those things, and he lived until 2011.
@Simple History, I'd be an honor for us Puertorican viewers if you could make a video of the 65th Infantry Regiment, as they showed what the people of my little country can attribute to the USA.

There is an island called Baengnyeongdo ,which is just a few kilometers away from north korea. it resisted occupation during the war and is still a part of south korea, on a normal clear day you can see the coast of north korea. The island has more soldiers than residents because of the constant threat of invasion, and its extremely strategic for south korea.
the forgotten war
even though its the 4th longest war (by a technicality considering its just a cease fire)
Forgotten to some like the us or uk but north or south korea will never forget the war.

I'm a South Korean and I wanna say thank you for your service to all South Korean soldiers and the foreign soldiers who fought at our country. Also my Great Grandpa also fought at the Korean War!
macarthurs landing at incheon was such a boss move

Thank you for great video about Korean War! And I also thank you to all the countries that helped my country during the Korean War.
I love you all.

@LOCK THE FUTURE how clever are you. Have you ever heard of "sarcastic "?
All the veterans from all over the world fought for my country, S. Korea, are remembered and will be remembered, because I will tell my son and daughters how and what you sacrifice for Koreans during the Korean war, as my parents did to me. Your brave story will be our history. Thank you for your service and Gob bless
Yes, US army now still in your country, they rape your girls but you even dare not give a fart.
感谢他们阻止了你们国家的统一

Those are intruders. . All should have to die. . The Korean War was originally a matter within North Korea, so why should foreign countries intervene? ? Is America really for your Korean interests? They are just for their own benefit.
the back and forth in this war is so interesting
it’s a shame we hardly ever hear anything about this war
Excellent study aid!
Thank you for the video I studied abroad in my highschool years so even though I'm Korean I don't exactly know Korean history TT this video helped me to know part of it thanks! 😊
My grandfather fought in this war! He died long before I was born but I always wish he were alive so I can ask him about his time. I know he was among the men who captured Pyongyang.
My grandfather fought for the Colombian army. He was really young when he joined and decided going to the war, (he was just 21), and he used to tell me how hard that was. There were kinda a few Colombian soldiers (5.000), and in that year, Colombia was not really well-armed or prepared to be on a really serious thing. The "weird" (or what most called my attention), is that despite Colombian soldiers did their best in there they've got a low recognition, and veterans ain't so remembered. Anyway, my grandpa was part of an artillery batallion, and he got captured in an ambush, wich he was captured and taken as a war prisoner, but, (by a reason i still don't know) he was fastly released. He knew english, so he was able to speak to other people, and he told me that Colombians were called "Demons" by the north koreans, because they died on their grounds, and never falled back, despite of being attacked or being out of supplies, and most of them died holding their grounds and fighting until the last moment they could.
Gracias por contar la historia de tu abuelo. Siempre he escuchado que hubo soldados colombianos en la guerra de Corea, pero no sabia nada más de ellos.
My grandfather fought in this war all the way from Pusan to Seuol, he like most of the troops who fought there was a WWII veteran and so knew what he was doing. He saw many South Koreans soldiers die for simply incompetence by Southern leaders and always found them very brave, he hated communism before the war and hated it till he passed and always said that we should’ve liberated both of the Koreas.
Thank you for protecting our country.
God bless your families. 🙏
MacArthur the US General thought so, too, and one US military general wanted to use atomic bombs. As an American, I am glad that we did not. Sometimes you can win all the battles and lose the war anyway.
@@ninatrabona4629 We never lost Korea, we kept South-Korea in-tact and i would say it was worth it. A shame we didn’t get both Korea’s though, if it weren’t for the damn Chinese
@@williamsherman1942 That is just an expression, and it means that the other side inflicted so many casualties and so much destruction that it left your side much weaker, even though you won the battles and chased the enemy off the field. It is like on the Ukrainian-Russian front right now and in World War One in early 20 th century where the two sides are trying to demolish each other's War hardware and kill off each other's soldiers.
My grandfather participated in this war. He is a soldier in China. He said that the Korean army is very weak. The Korean army always runs away. Every time the American army prepares to surround the China army, the Korean soldiers will run away, which leads to the failure of the American plan.
Thank you

My grandpa was born during the korean war and wasn't able to see my great grandpa for 3 years cause he had to fight in the war and thankfully he survived the came back home and lived a happy life until he passed away and every time I visit my grandparents in Korea and visited his grave and always think of would life would be if he was still alive
Many people call this “The Forgotten War”
But we Koreans have never forgotten about all the lives sacrificed for this nation.
I deeply thank those brave soldiers that fought for us, they are the reason we’re living a free life.

@sapiens code Don't Koreans feel ashamed of American servicemen in Korea? How much money does South Korea need to feed American soldiers every year?
Thank you hero. Thank you and thank you..

My grandfather was born in Germany but was able to escape to America as a youth before WW2. He later enlisted in the US army when he was old enough and fought in the Korean war. He died many years ago. He never spoke about the war but I think he was very motivated to enlist because he understood the dangers tyranny.
Your grandfather? You must be in your 40s or 50s because I’m 34 and my great grandfather was in his late teens in WW2
And he saw what the US did to North Korean villagers and thats why he never spoke about the war.
那是一场惨烈的战争，中国和朝鲜.苏联对抗17个国家组成的部队，美军数次对平民大屠杀，使用细菌武器，最后美军打算动用原子弹，是因为韩国美国等十七国家一共被被歼灭109万人，不得不最后主动签停战协议

RIP grandpas who fought in the Korean war. (from rok) Korean government hadn't compensate anything to injured soldiers of Korean War. So most of the injured soldiers became beggars.
My grandpa had fought in vietnam and returned with no injury(he was an artillery FDC who works in the command center's bunker). He earned lots of money thanks to vietnam war.
I love history. I don't ever recall my school going over the Korean war. The US seemed to always be fighting communism in those times.
And I love it for we used to always be fighting capitalism in those times.
My school went over it, but for like a couple days. Weird considering how 128,000 US casualties occurred, making it one of our biggest wars.
Tianhang Xia from your name I’m guessing your from China? I hope y’all are doing better with the virus. Did China support North Korea and North Vietnam in their civil wars? How do the Chinese feel about the USSR? I can look these things up but I like asking an actual person and see what they say
@@diegojames8678I'm so lazy to write by English.Maybe u can use some softwares to translate it :） 我们的抗击疫情的工作已经不需要你们关心了，两个月前我们就已经复工复产，我不知道你们的媒体和政府官员是怎么胡乱报道中国的新闻的，不过我看过一些类似的报道，这些报道让我怀疑我生活在一个虚假的中国生活，看你们的报道给我的感觉就是我们每天生活得很惨，这挺搞笑的。我们对于苏联的普遍看法（最起码我周围的人绝大多数是这样认为的）是：曾经作为国际工人运动的老师，但是后来也和美国一样，变成一个霸权主义国家，而且背叛了马克思主义，苏联和美国都不是什么好东西；为什么我们要支援北朝鲜和北越的民族解放战争，你可以了解一下一个中国的成语叫做“唇亡齿寒”，这个成语的意思就是我们支援他们抗击侵略者的理由，我也不知道为什么你们把北朝鲜和北越抗击侵略者的战争叫做“邪恶的战争”，也许对于你们来讲只有做你们的附庸国才算是“正义”吧，这种想法让人恶心，我也不想说太多关于意识形态的东西，毕竟你们生活在那样的环境下，你们政府的宣传机器和媒体从来没有告诉你们什么是“社会主义”、什么是“共产主义”、什么是“生产资料公有制”、以及“生产资料”和“生活资料”的区别，所以和你们讲这些简直就是“一只鸡和一只鸭子讲话，什么也听不懂” : ) I hope these can help you : )
@@diegojames8678 Civil war? You mean the war between a gov support by socialism and a gov support by capitalism. We did. How could we just stand by and wait for the failure of our comrades? USSR used to be the instructor and friend of CCP and China. However, it fell to be a country which was full of corrupt bureaucrat and traitors. We lost a great friend due to fallen by itself, and years later China were the same. USSR is the faith of all the Marxists and Lieninists, it did fail, it won't be back. But we have to build another one, better one.
My great grandfather fought in the korean war thankfully he is still alive
Thank you for your great grandfather's service.
Is he still alive by now?
which side?
Got my GCSE tomorrow hope this helps me
이영상을올려주셔서감사합니다!
The war destroyed General Douglas MacArthur's career life.
It took a war in a small peninsula to destroy the image he created on himself after bringing down a military superpower during WW2 all by himself in 5 years which was Japan
fellow south koreans don't agree with you
All by himself lol. You make it sound like he's a one man army.
@@panner11 he was the one who called the shots
@@nickson211 No, I agree with him.
Thank you so much for talking about Korean war!!👍👍
My Great Granduncle enlisted for 3 years in 1947 but it was extended a year because of the war. Of his 4 years service 3 years of it was overseas because he was on duty in occupied Japan when the war broke out and was immediately deployed. He was honorably discharged December 1951 due to medical reasons as he had been wounded twice. Came home a Master Sergeant with two Purple Hearts, a CIB, and a Korean Service Medal with 5 Campaign Stars
You don’t become a master sergeant in 4 years
I am a Korean. This video is a graphic video that expresses the Korean War well. I pay tribute to the allies of the United Nations military member states. I want to introduce this video to many Koreans, especially young people.
I want to teach you smartly how the UN forces, especially the US forces, protected Korea. It's too wasteful to just bury it, so I'm going to introduce it to my channel. I will definitely reveal the source of the original.
I'd appreciate it if you'd allow it. It's so nice that there are Korean subtitles.
People in North Korean was killed brutally by American and you are thank US for that instead of revenger , shame on you!
@@user-justsomeone yea! Revenge! Lol I’ll just sneak back to Mexico before you guys blast America 😭
@@user-justsomeoneOf course he's thankful to live in a prosperous nation with freedoms as opposed to a brutal dictatorship in the North.
@@bretmaverick9434 Yes, that's why I hate him more because this is like he's fine with sacrificing his people just to enjoy life in a prosperous nation with freedom, was it? Nah, S.Korea is just has some more "freedom" than the North, but it's actually a more brutal dictatorship than North Korea at some times in the past, you could look it up but most of them are not allowed to show on the Internet. And surprisingly many of those brutal laws still exist in S. Korea, like the law force almost all males to serve in the army, or the anti-North Korea security law stipulates that those who show support or praise for North Korea can be sentenced to up to 7 years in prison. Also usually if a nation takes independence and freedom not by itself, they can't protect it for long in the future, I learned that from reading history books. If you are gonna defend S.Korea by critic N.Korea then it will not work with me, why? Because I hate both of them!
@@user-justsomeone South Korea is extremely free and prosperous.
People aren't executed in public like they are in North Korea.
