SGS Korean War

The Korean War

This war is remembered as the first intense conflict of the Cold War, but usually not much more than that.

Few know that the conflict’s first year was a very rapid and dynamic Blitkrieg-like struggle, with the North sudden invasion at the beginning of summer 1950 and the counter-offensive from the United Nations in Fall and early Winter, followed by the intense counter-offensive led by Communist China in winter and spring of the following year.
