Incheon Landing

The Incheon Landing was a major military operation during the Korean War, occurring in September 1950. United Nations forces, led by General Douglas MacArthur, launched a surprise amphibious assault on the port city of Incheon, behind North Korean lines. This bold move aimed to break the North Korean advance and recapture Seoul. The successful landing transformed the war’s momentum, allowing UN troops to cut off North Korean supply routes and push them back. It is considered a strategic masterpiece that significantly shifted the conflict and demonstrated the importance of careful planning and coordination in military operations.
