National Korean War Veterans Armistice Day

#koreanwarveteransarmisticeday

Pre-war history

Unlike World War I, World War II, the Vietnam War, and The War on Terror, the Korean War's intricacy, location, and timing have caused history to gloss over the conflict. For centuries, Japan and China ruled Korea, including Korea. Following World War II, Japan annexed Korea, and the Allied forces liberated Korea, dividing it into two occupied zones. The 38th parallel was drawn on the dividing line, resulting in the establishment of a Communist North Korea and a South Korean republic.

How it was different

During the three-year war, the United States, France, Australia, Germany, Japan, Russia, and over 40 other nations all contributed troops, equipment, and other assistance. Around 3 million people were killed, and civilians suffered the most casualties of the war. The forgotten war is one of the deadliest of the Cold War-era.

Since the war began as a state war, civilians and soldiers showed less keen interest in the Korean War. There was no significant mobilization at home, no significant build-up of war machinery, no shortages of gas, food, or products, with no effect on the daily lives of Americans at home. President Harry S. Truman never issued a statement of war. Many veterans returned home, but most were silent. Many of those who served in World War II died in World War II, and others will continue to serve in the Vietnam War. Multiple victories were announced after World War II victories. Nevertheless, the Korean War came to an end in a deadlock.

Regardless of the war's status as the Forgotten War, those who served should be remembered. They survived the brutalities of war, a harsh climate, and resistance against Communism. 33,665 service members died in the war, and 33,665 in the United States gave their lives in that cause. They are not forgotten.
