Today in history:
15 September 1950
U.S. Marines land at Inchon, well to the rear of the Communist North Korean forces attacking the U.N. and U.S. forces in Pusan pocket to the south.

With their supply line cuts, being completely outmatched, and now thoroughly out maneuvered, the North Koreans would lose their capital and be routed all the way back to the Yalu river on the border with China.

Though we managed to liberate half of the peninsula, Soviet and ChiCom intervention later pushed U.S. and U.N. forces back to the 38th parallel, and half the peninsula remains enslaved to this day.
Only an armistice, or cease fire, exists between the North and South, and as such the Korean Civil War has never ended.
