MacArthur Line

The MacArthur Line refers to a boundary established during the early phase of the Korean War in 1950. Named after General Douglas MacArthur, it represented the military front line between North Korean forces advancing south and United Nations troops fighting to protect South Korea. The line symbolized the division of control on the Korean Peninsula and influenced subsequent military strategies. Its significance lies in highlighting the geopolitical tensions of the time, contributing to the ongoing conflict and division between North and South Korea, which persists today.
