SGS Korean War

The first intense conflict of the Cold War, this war is very often forgotten, its very rapid and dynamic but unknown aspect was obliterated by months of stagnation following the first year of operations in Korea. Can you make it remembered? 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's sudden invasion at the beginning of the summer of 1950 and the counter-offensive from the United Nations in the Fall and early Winter, followed by the intense counter-offensive led by Communist China in winter and spring of the following year. Then after this active phase, the mobile aspect of the war was obliterated in memories by months of stagnation and tense struggles alongside a rarely fluctuating line of fortified positions, reminding many of the trench warfare of the Great War. The ‘hot” part of the conflict finally ceased in 1953 with an armistice, but officially the war has not ended.
