‘All right. They’re on our left. They’re on our right. They’re in front of us, they’re behind us. They can’t get away this time’. ~ Colonel "Chesty" Puller

MacArthur went Kenobi with that landing in Incheon “Hello there...”

you better not deliver this juicy steak of a video and not follow up on the rest of the war

My grandfather was part of the PVA send to North Korea in 1951. He was a back line medic but he still witnessed many things, things that can and will scar you for life. Before he passed away in 2014, he never told us any details of what happened. It was only before his death and he shared his war stories, and passed his medals to me. I kept them in a safe with my relatives in Harbin.

That intro cost 5 million dollars.

South Korea: Not gonna lie, they had us in the first half there.

"all the South Korean leadership could do was order a massacre of communists in the south" sorry what!?!? o_0

These 3D modern warfare battles are absolutely awesome guys, the next battle you could do is either operation market garden or the gulf war, just some ideas, keep up the good work guys we love it

The war is not totally forgotten in Denmark, we got a song about the Danish hospital ship Jutlandia, which treated wounded soldiers off the coast of Korea. Great video! Also, more!

Just done playing Wargame: Red Dragon Busan Pocket and Second Korean War When this video uploads: *Last Stand Mode Intensifies*

3:17 the first Korean president Syngman Rhee's wife was Francesca Donner, an Austrian, 25 years younger than Syngman Rhee.

Love learning about the "forgotten war" . The way that you present the facts in so well done. I cant wait till more come out. Thank you

My grandfather fought with U.S. and U.N. forces in 1952. The war was at its height.The owner of the mountain was changed several times a day to the South and the North.Thank you for making this video.

I know a man who was posted in Kokura, Japan at this time. He was in the 24th Infantry Division and among the first into the fighting in Korea. Getting pushed back all the way to the Pusan perimeter was a hair raising experience for those poor GI's. They were performing occupation duties in Japan and the next thing they knew was an all out fight for their lives against a much larger number of North Korean troops. He's 91 today and still has a hard time going to sleep at night.

As a Korean, I've never seen such a good video for foreigners to understand the Korean War. It is the best video for foreigners to understand the Korean War. I wish the sequel would be made soon, too!

Thanks for doing a video on the Korean War. You're right that it isn't discussed enough. My uncle fought in that war as an engineer guarding one of the perimeter bridges, so I'm happy to see that explained from a strategic context.

4:00 The aggressor is usually better prepared for war. That's how you identify them.

My grand uncle was a lieutenant of Turkish brigade in Korean war. He once told me that they were dug in on a hill and was surrounded by thousands of chinese. He also told me that chinese had more men than we had ammo. He was wounded and sent to a hospital in Japan. There are rumours that he had a relationship with a nurse there. I think I might have Japanese cousin(s) lol.

The quality of this channel is unbelievable, I remember watching the videos from a long time ago even then and thinking man this is good quality but now it’s unbelievable what y’all can do with the maps! 100% like!

Amazingly unbiased and good approach to a documentary! Keep it up!

An important thing to note with regards to Korean geography is that even though Seoul is about 10 miles from the DMZ in SK, in 1945, the North was considered far more urban, with the South being much more rural and agrarian. This was part of why NK was so much better prepared compared to SK. Interestingly to note as well is that SK remained a dictatorship into the 1980's. The video also glosses over the UN resolution in the war. Due to the recent Chinese Civil war, with the former republican government of China holed up in Taiwan, there was contention as to who would be considered the government of China in the UN. The UN had effectively chose to stay out of the conflict and maintained that Taiwan was still the government of China as the conflict was recent and it was not clear who would win. This lead the Soviet Union to boycott the UN. This meant that the Soviets' veto on the UN Security Council was not present and allowed the US to go to the UN with a resolution for UN assistance to SK. This is the leading example as to why you don't boycott the UN.

Animation on this video was next level. Totally awesome, channel keeps getting better and better.

Great video, informative and well done! Looking forward to more of the "story." I really enjoy how K&G have been showing modern battle. Thanks Fellas!

Wow.. You guy's really have put a lot of efforts in for this video... Simply amazing

Ever since K&G started videos on WW2 battles, I have been eagerly waiting for their treatment on the Korean War. Thank you Kings & Generals for shining more light on a war that doesn't get much attention, but whose consequences resonate even more strongly to this day.

The quality of your videos have been increased a lot in the past months. I love it.

Thank you kings and generals for this episode, I love this portion of history

That was great, more please! Ever since seeing the film Brotherhood I've been intrigued by the Korean War, and it deserves to be covered by a dedicated and entertaining historical researcher such as youself :)

The ROK is like the AI that keeps respawning no matter how much defeat they take.

The quality of these videos is absolutely amazing!

My General, the production quality of your movies became - step by step- perfect and all I can add is a huge thumbs up from Hungary!

Hyundai ad in the video - a rare KZfaq good call. LOL

영상이 전체적으로 정확하게 제작된 것 같습니다. 한국전쟁의 진행상황을 일목요연하게 이해하는 데 많은 도움이 될 것 같습니다.

I've been waiting for this! thanks!

Awsome video! Keep up your good work! Can't wait for the follow up episodes!

I hope you guys do more videos about the Korean War (and the Cold War in general)

Kim il Sung was not just helped by Chinese, in fact he was a acting general under Communist China during the war against Japan. He made some reputation and learnt a lot from both Mao and Peng during this time which helped him a lot afterwards. But as a Chinese I must point out that his decisions to over stretch his supply which allowed his major troop to be cut off by McArthur later had been warned by both Mao and Soviet side before, but his blind confidence led to devastating outcome. According to “unofficial “ record that General Peng, leader of Chinese volunteer army, slapped Kim on the face on their first meeting in North Korea and called him an idiot for making such immature mistakes.

Awesome graphic presentation! I love it! I was speechless for 18mins! Keep up the good work.

Great explanation and video! Thanks for making this video.

Such a good video. I lived in Seoul, Korea, directly south of the DMZ, through the 60th anniversary of the war. The train from the mainland to the Incheon airport was lined with the flags of all the nations who contributed troops and aid to the war with text thanking them. I heard some testimony from those who survived the war as children, including initial attacks. It was always very sobering.

Great animations! The terrain models were the best visual help for the campaign that I have ever seen. The only thing I think that could use improving is maybe adding the sound of small arms gunfire instead of only explosions during battle sequences.

This was AWESOME! Your channel keeps getting better and better!

Thank you for covering this war.

This video is awesome for me because I have been listening to The Coldest War: America and the Korean War by Halberstam for last week. He goes into detail about battles and locations but without a map I am just lost. This battle is chapter 3 and which has has me already feeling like "craaaap“ I didn't know they got pushed back back that far

my grandpa would readily talk about his service against the japanese in WW2, but he didn't like to bring up korea. all he would ever say was it was, "a dirty little war."

love this channel! 😍😍

Thanks for making video about Korea War, knew very little about it. Enjoyed alot

It is amazing that the South Korea today now exists when looking back at the infancy of the state. No one could have suspected such an incredible turn of events.

Modern day King's and Generals video? I clicked on this faster than the North Koreans reached Pusan

I have been waiting since yesterday... Thanks its finally here.

Looking forward to the inevitable video on Kapyong. Stone was a badass. Keep up the great work.

Thank you so much for these amazing videos on history and wars yours truly one of you're greatest fans.

My girlfriend's Grandfather lived close by the 38th parallel when the north attacked. I remember him just saying that it was total chaos. He didn't even realize that they were at war until a couple hours later.

Nice work, will watch entirely when I get home. Animations look fine

What an amazing video! Can't wait for more

i really love the new video models and i know it took long time so thank you Kings and Generals

Nothing but the best documentaries from this channel. ❤

Fast and the Furious North Korea: dude I almost had you! USA: you never had me, you never had your car..

As a Korean, I’m really honored to see documentary about Korean War in my favoirte channel, and I want to add some supplementary comments and facts on some controversies. (Please forgive my bad English :D ) 1. Why South Korean Army was so weak? Well, there are several reasons. As mentioned in video, massive uprising of communist guerillas obstructed development of South Korean military. Also, United States feared that if they provide weapons to South Korea, South Koreans shall march North to reunite Korea, provoking war between USA and USSR. So they provided mostly minimum and light support(such as infantry training) to South Korean military. US even refused to sell heavy equipments like fighters to South Korea. For this reason, initial 22 airplanes of South Korean military weren’t fighters like P-51. They were light aircrafts with no armaments such as Stinson L-5. So pilots had to hand-drop bombs like WWI. In comparison, North Korea received tremendous support from Soviets with ambition to conquer Korea. So only advantage South Koreans had against North Koreans was infantry firepower. (Thank you Mr. Garand!) South Koreans were outgunned and outnumbered but never outmanned. Approximately 70~100 South Korean soldiers without Anti-tank weapons were killed in several heroic attempts to destroy North Korean tanks with grenades and some of them succeeded. In Pohang, 71 voluntary student soldiers refused to retreat and halted full assault of North Koreans for 11 and half hours to cover the retreat of other troops and civilians. During their last stand, despite they spent all their ammunitions they refused to surrender and fought with bayonet. Only few of them survived. 2. South Korean legitimacy I see some comments(probably by the South Koreans) speak BULLSHIT about South Korea that South Korean government was pro-Japanese imperialist. This is common opinion and IMAGINARY HISTORY of South Korean lefts with little or no evidence. First you must define what is Japanese Imperialist, traitor to Korean nation. Scumbags who were eager to support Japan and tormented Koreans are absolutely traitors. But is it treason to just serve in Japanese government or military as officer? Is Skanderbeg a traitor because he once served in Ottoman army? With this standard, many members in Korean Left parties are also descendants of Japanese Imperialist.(For example, father of president Moon was also a bureaucrat during Japanese rule) Korean government hired ex-Japanese bureaucrats and soldiers for realistic reason. They were able workers and newborn Korean government needed them. It is true that this also obstructed proper punishment on real national traitors, but you cannot just blame Korean government as Japanese Imperialists. (You also have to notice that heads of Korean government, including president Lee were mostly ex-independent fighters.) You can(and maybe have to) criticize South Korean government, but I want people speak with responsibility. 3. Massacre on ex-communists This incident is called Bodo League Massacre(보도연맹 학살사건). Bodo league was a league organized by South Korean government, to monitor and convert ex-communists. Therefore, initially members of Bodo league were communist turncoats. However, the problem is, that if a bureaucrat attract many people in Bodo league, it meant that he converted many communists therefore showing good performance! For this reason, some bureaucrats were eager to draw many people to Bodo league. Although Bodo league included real communists, many ignorant farmers and citizens who had participated in petty left parties(which were so numerous after independence) with petty reasons(money, rice, friends, familes) were also listed in Bodo league. Even some people who were ignorant and had no relationship with communists joined Bodo league because some bureaucrats attracted people with gifts such as rice and shoes.(This is why fiancee of main character in movie ‘Tae Guk Gi’ joined in Bodo league.) During initial phase of Korean war, South Korean military were crushed and South Korean government feared that members of Bodo league might cooperate with North Korea. In fact, betrayal of few Bodo league members in Seoul(where was conquered by North Korean army and massacre on innocent citizens occured) were reported to South Korean government. Subsequently, scared and resentful South Korean government ordered massacre. Massacre of Bodo league is a tragedy and critical fault of South Korean government. And I believe we must remember it to prevent similar mistakes. However, I don’t doubt South Korean cause. The one who started war is North Korea. North Korean army calling themselves liberators massacred way more than South Koreans did. Even Stalin was shocked by atrocities of North Korean soldiers. Above all, South Koreans are living in free and prosperous state while enslaved North Koreans are suffering under Kim’s tyranny. Lastly, I really want to thank all members of United Nation forces who protected us from North Korean tyranny. Although some leftards in South Korea speak bullshit about them Koreans must not forget their sacrifice.

Topics, Graphics and Video Clips getting better each time. Keep them coming Kings and General team!

Finally, thank you for covering the forgotten war!

Could you make a video about the battle of Dien Bien Phu

Re-edit the sound, can’t hear properly the speaker because the sounds of bombs etc.. is on the video..

Really enjoying these presentations. Excellent job.

Man, the animation is something else. Fantastic video.

UN , USA , SK : We Won Whole Korea ! Quality Over Quantity China : We Gonna Do this Traditional Way

Would you cover Operation Ichi Go? The largest Imperial Japanese Army offensive of WWII against China.

Just in time for lunch. Great work guys

Great! As always

As a Korean I'm really thankful to US and UN forces. God bless America. Thank you Philippines UK Turkey and all those who came to help Korean who they never knew or met before.

Why did Kim Il sung invade South Korea He didn't have a Seoul

thank you for this great work

Amazing video! Very well done. 👍🏻

I volunteer at the Korean War Veterans Memorial. I strongly recommend creating a video about Heartbreak Ridge.

Could you pls do videos on the Indo-Pak wars?

I thank you for your great effort in providing accurate, useful and wonderful information on your esteemed channel. A thousand greetings of respect, appreciation and pride. I wish you success and progress in your wonderful work. Much respect

You guys are a true treasure of pkh! you make better videos than I see on TV nowadays. Keep up the amazing content Kings And Generals! PS. Will you ever consider doing a Q&A video?

Do a video about the Philippine regiment that hold the line in Korean war(not sure)

"All the South Korean leadership could do was order a massacre of communists in the south" "It's not much, but it's honest work." - South Korean diplomat, after asking US congress for military aid

This looked amazing!

Thanks so much!!!

Great job except the city names. Pohangdong sounds like poe - hang (a like in father) - dong (long o sound). Taegu sounds like Dtae (short d&t sound together and a like in "day") - gu (goo). So ALL "a" in Korea are like a in Father. ALL "u" are oo, all "ae" like in day, all "o" are long o sound, all "i" are ee sound...etc. oh, "eu" is a sound that is learned since there is no sound like it in English. Once you learn the Korean alphabet it's so easy to read Korean characters and easier to read the Konglish words. But overall, great job!

Here in the UK the Korean War is definitely forgotten. Which is very sad.

A thousand greetings, great respect and admiration for your esteemed and wonderful channel, which provided accurate and useful information. I wish you lasting success. A wonderful work and a great effort that deserves pride, appreciation and pride. My utmost respect and appreciation to you

Great work team - this channel just keeps getting better! I like how at 4:45 it looks like a boxing promotional

Mao had forecasted the Incheon landing in July 1949. "Given that the US military may land in Incheon, it is necessary to establish a strong defense line behind Incheon." On July 2, the Soviet ambassador to China, Nikolai Vasilievich Roshchin, told the Moscow that Zhou Enlai conveyed Mao Zedong’s suggestion to North Korean in Zhou's conversation with Roshchin. Mao Zedong also mentioned that in a telegram to Stalin on October 2: "In mid-July, in late July and early September, we had told the North Korean comrades three times about that they should pay attention to the danger of the US Army, who would move from the sea to Incheon and Seoul to cut off the KPA's reinforcements."

McArthur: I'm Douglas McArhtur, don't tell me I can't cross into China. Mao: Come in. Don't matter all those people across the Yalu river.

This is why i love history. It always interests us with the motion. To me it always makes me curious and always happy to learn from the past. Always do best work like this one. Big fan

What a quality work!!!

Hey man can you also do the Battle of the Philippines or the Battle of Berlin?

Bombing sounds were too loud I can barely hear the voice of the storytelling guy

Hype! Love the modern warfare stuff!

Great work, keep up the good job!

6:07 Actually North Korean army fails on Chunchon by 6th infantry division.

Even after all that fighting, the border has barely changed from the 38th parallel to what it is today.

Awesome man! I was looking for some korean stuff from you

Nice video, thanks for sharing
