On September 15, 1950, after only a month of planning, a team of United States and South Korean forces landed at the port of Inchon, only 100 miles south of the 38th parallel and just 25 miles from the capital city of Seoul.
Over the course of one week, 75,000 troops and 261 naval vessels dispatched by the United Nations set out to battle the North Korean People’s Army.
While the location was criticized as being far too risky for its changing tides and unpredictable weather, United Nations Supreme Commander Douglas MacArthur was confident the plan would succeed.
In a daring operation planned and executed under extremely difficult conditions, the United Nations forces aimed to reverse the tide of the Korean War, seize control of Seoul, and solidify America’s postwar reputation on the global stage…

Just another reason the Chinese ain't invading Taiwan, they haven't figured out Inchon yet. Good luck with a D- day invasion. 👍✌️🇺🇲
The filthiest Marines are my brothers, Semper Fi, 2/4 Marines, 1st division!
BURN the UN
He wasn't the genius most think he was. After his botched defense of the Philippines he should have been court marshalled. Retaking the Philippines served no military purpose and only fed his vanity.
your clickbait bs has really started to piss me off across all your channels
My father was in Korea with the 3/11 mobile artillery in support of the 7th Marines. He always said Truman should have let MacArthur use tactical nukes.
You laid it on pretty thick when applying MacAurthurs accolades. His misreading of Chinese intentions a few months hence is accounted as one of the most serious blunders in human military history. Inchon was a brilliant victory, but even a broken clock is correct twice a day.
As a korean, thank you for making this video.😊
(*IN-chawn), NOT "In-CHAWN".
“United Nations”! What a joke. It was American, and a couple other countries who did the fighting. Where was the rest of the “free world” and members of the United Nations ?
My Dad was one of the Marines who landed there with Dog Company, 1st Batallion, 1st Marine Regiment all the way to the Chosin Res. where he was Wounded in Action.
My grandfather was lucky to gut dozens of those horrible north korean soldiers. He had a board on his office wall full of human ears. One from each NK he gutted like a pig.
I love your channel but the US military we do not refer to our troops as “comrades”.
Global hegemony vs North Korea. US has been at war continuously for over 200 years. 5he. OST warlike country on the face of the Earth
9:52 so any countries to draft half a country North Korea.
What happened to Soviet Union, why didn’t they veto that resolution in UN Security Council??
Look what is happening to America today…
I was there and took out many Vietkong
The soviets didn’t want no smoke for real,if they did they’d got it 😂😂
My father was with the 1st Marine Division at Inchon. Helped liberate Seoul and fought up to the Chosin Reservoir and back down to Hungnam.
He had great affection for the people of South Korea!
DC politicians were the reason why Korea was never unified they victory. DC politicians were the reason why Vietnam was lost.
Military operations never need a civilian approval from the other side of the world. War is fast and requires a military mind to execute them in real time. Not a poll watching dilettante. A good 1st step in doing this is requiring active military experience from the presidency and the return of the 5 Star General.
Dieppe was right up there aswell
Battle of Kapyong is where 600 Canadian soldiers supported by NZ artillery pushed back 8000 Chinese regulars
People can say whatever about MacArthur's specific passion…levied by a select lot as rather crude brashness at times (nay most) but whether it was justifiable bravado or mire branding of arrogance levied wanton at the table seat from green eyes cast gaze from the subtle sidelines, it's undeniable that the man had a very intimate knowledge of war and acted upon it with deliberacy and genius. Generations later on still he receives from myself and a very grateful nation [well, except a specific few] still well deserved admiration and praise for his glory that he had done in service to this Republic.
