After the end of World War II, the United States occupied the southern part of the Korean Peninsula south of the 38th parallel, while the northern part was occupied by the Soviet Union. Then the Cold War broke out, and Korea was plunged into civil war. The North Korean army overwhelmed the South with its might, forcing it to retreat. The United States quickly formed a joint ** intervention, which triggered the Korean War. The U.S. military sent an aircraft carrier fleet, bombers, warplanes, and elite troops to invade North Korea and gain the initiative in the war. The United States deliberately expanded the war, triggering the Chinese volunteers to aid Korea, escalating the war into an international local war.
After the Chinese Volunteers entered the war, they won the Battle of Daejeon, but suffered defeat in the Battle of Seoul. The failure was largely due to poor strategic planning, command errors, and poor tactical execution. Despite its well-prepared preparations, the KPA's unfamiliarity with the Seoul area, coupled with the ferocious momentum of the ROK army's counterattack, caused a major setback. At the same time, the US air force imposed a tight blockade on the KPA's logistics line, which caused great difficulties for the KPA's supply. The Chinese soldiers made great sacrifices to protect the logistics line, and the tide of the war took a sharp turn. The KPA's failure to develop a detailed plan, excessive influence by the news of the "Inchon landings", and the mistakes of its commanders led to poor execution of the strategy and ultimately a crushing defeat. Despite this, the KPA persevered and eventually won the Battle of Seoul.
After the end of the Korean War, the front returned to the 38th parallel, laying the foundation for the subsequent signing of the Korean Armistice Agreement between China and the representatives of the DPRK and the United States. In the following battles, the Chinese Volunteers repeatedly repelled the attacks of the United States Coalition Army, and finally signed an armistice agreement on July 27, 1953, ending the Korean War.
