Not Forgotten: Looking back at the Korean War
60 YEARS AGO | On June 25, 1950, North Korean forces, trained and armed by the Soviets, invaded the South to “liberate’’ it. The invaders overwhelmed the U.S.-trained South Korean troops and quickly captured the capital of Seoul.
Despite the infusion of U.S. and other United Nations ground troops that summer, South Korean and U.N. forces were pushed to the far southeastern corner of the peninsula around the port of Pusan.
