"If we let Korea down, the Soviet[s] will keep right on going and swallow up one [place] after another.” - President Harry Truman
Through the first two episodes of this series, the Hungry Historian has set the scene for the moments and events that led to war in Korea being a possibility. This episode deals with the breakout of the war itself.
June 25th, 1950, having been preceded by an artillery barrage, the North Korean People's Army drives South of the 38th parallel, thus invading the Republic of Korea.
Follow along as the Hungry Historian explains the decisions made by the newly formed United Nations that would draw other member countries into the conflict. Learn more about why President Harry Truman and the United States were so hesitant to jump back into the squared circle of global conflict.
