One of my high school teachers in Taiwan said he was a Chinese expatriate living in Inchon in 1950. He was a little boy then. One day he heard his friends said there were many giant ships at the horizon on the sea so they went to the coast to look. A group of American soldiers appeared and rounded them up, brought then onto their boat and sailed to one the the giant ships. They were held on the ship and were shown cartoon movies and provided as much ice cream, chocolate, and candies as they wanted. They were brought back to land in the evening. He rushed back home wanted to tell his parents about the experience. On the way he saw many houses had been destroyed by gun fire. When he saw his house it looked intact and he was relieved. However, as he pushed open the door, he found only the facade was still intact.

[@seanmaury7844]

Too bad his ego kept him from accepting any other view or idea. In WW1 he wore his own uniform believing it made him stand out. It did. For all the wrong reasons but still promoted. In WW2 his threat to resign his commission and enlist because Washington didn't agree with his plans was a bluff that worked. He got his way. He believed the retaking of the Philippines was the most important objective since he was "loved" so much by that country. In Korea, he failed to support any updates to the Fighting forces there which made the 1950 attack so easy. He wouldn't accept that North Korea would dare to attack. Again, his ego led him to the Yalu which was the cause of his firing. Yes, he had some brilliant moments but his idea of the big picture was actually a view of himself front and center.

as a long time player, let me tell you something you need to know. WT is not historical. It contains a ton of tanks that never existed or were just figments of someones imagination. They also contain weird values in penetration and armor that make no sense when you look up documentation on the vehicles. Also having jets show up to bomb ww2 tanks is a joke and half. This all combines into a very a-historical tank combat feel.

[@cliffs1965]

What I like about this channel? They don't make judgment about any army/country, be it aggressor, defender, or friend or enemy of the countries they come from. Kings and Generals just reports historical facts and military tactics and their outcomes, and refrains from commentary. I find this refreshing, as many soldiers in wars past were conscripted and had no choice on being on the battlefield, and all soldiers should be shown respect(except those that massacre civilians and already defeated foes the surrendered).

[@TheDirtysouthfan]

While I'm sure the people who make these try to do so without judgement, historical sources inevitably do. As a result, K&G still mirror those biases as they have to work with their sources.

[@MrTylerman127]

Fwendly Mushwoom stfu and read a history book. North Korea and South Korea both committed worse crimes against each other. At the Chosin Reservoir the US marines fought the disgusting Chinese while they through away thousands of men against a small amount of Marines(my great grandfather included). So really the UN forces didn’t do anything near as bad as what the Koreas and the Chinese.

[@thunderbird1921]

I was recently reading an excerpt from a book on the history of the US Army, and believe it or not, the United States military actually considered asking Congress to draft WOMEN in 1951. After China launched their intervention, Truman and the Pentagon leadership FREAKED THE HECK OUT and thought the Soviets would soon follow (setting off a third world war in Asia and possibly Europe as well). The idea was to free up literally every every combat-able man humanly possible by packing the noncombat female forces made permanent in 1948 (Army WACs, Navy WAVES, female Marines, etc.) to the greatest number they could manage. The idea was shot down as unfeasible, since they knew it would trigger massive uproar from the public (the female forces had strictly been volunteers since their founding). As result, they instead went on a massive recruiting effort, with some success (the WACS topped at well over 100,000 overall by around mid-1952 IIRC), but not the numbers they had originally hoped for. Thankfully the Soviet intervention never came.

[@MrTylerman127]

@@thunderbird1921 wow that’s crazy. I never knew that but I could understand with how numerous the Chinese and Soviets were. It had a good intent but obviously wouldn’t work in that society unfortunately.

[@thunderbird1921]

@@MrTylerman127 Yeah, it was actually REALLY interesting to read further on. By the early 50s (when the Korean War broke out), a certain amount of the American public was actually becoming more comfortable with their daughters serving (it helped that it was noncombat roles), although some traditional families still got very nervous when they learned that they had enlisted (and only the more adventurous gals usually did it). The Air Force even had a team of about 100-200 young ladies stationed in Japan working alongside guys examining reconnaissance photos from bomb raids (helping detect stuff like MiG jet bases, which were becoming dreadful for the B-29s and others to have to face). Volunteer service was becoming more okay, but a "lady draft"? Forget about it. Interestingly the fear of Soviet intervention also partially led to McArthur's removal and Ridgway replacing him, because Truman was furious that McArthur appeared to provoke the Soviets in public statements ("would you shut the heck up before you get us all killed" was Truman's message to him essentially). The Korean War was an absolutely wild conflict in a multitude of ways.

[@Zajuts149]

A small correction: There was only one Marine Division landing at Inchon, the 1st. It consisted of 4 regiments, 1st, 5th and 7th Marines, which were infantry and 11 Marines, which was an artillery regiment. So when you say "1st and 5th Marine Divisions", the correct units should be "1st and 5th Marine Regiments", or simply "1st and 5th Marines".

[@ronniecoleman2342]

Yep when the narrator said 5th Marine division, I knew he meant 5th Marine regiment being a student of this battle, which is considered MacArthur's masterpiece. Had China not intervened we wouldn't have this North Korea rocket man slinging missles everywhere.

[@AngryMarine-il6ej]

I caught that too. The Marine Corps had been reduced to 2 divisions after the post WWII draw down. They raided the 2nd Marine Division for personnel so they could field it at wartime strength. What he also forgot was the 5th Marines and Marine Air Group 33 formed the 1st Provisional Marine Brigade during the Pusan Perimeter action. Just prior to Inchon the 5th Marines were withdrawn so it could rejoin the division for the landing. The 5th Marine Division did exist during WWII, but its only action was the landing at Iwo Jima. It was prepping for the invasion of Japan but was disbanded after Japan surrendered.

[@ivantysyn2]

@Hoàng Nguyên Yes, and Korean war is exactly reason why. After the outbreak of Korean war USA understood that they faced strong and highly organized effort of USSR and China to spread communistic regimes over eastern Asia. Thats why Ho-chi-minh forces were armed and supplied by China. However, I understand that from Vietnam perspective it is more complex and they were driven mostly by anticolonial sentiment and nationalism and perphaps not so much by communism.

It's a shame that MacArthur's ego clouded his judgement and he pushed too far north, spreading his forces thin and ignoring multiple intelligence sources claiming that large armies of Chinese soldiers were massing and crossing the Yalu. Hindsight is always 20/20 though.

[@MaceG2024]

Holy shhhhhhhiiiiiiiiitttttt I've wanted this video since I found your channel!!!

[@randycheow4268]

Well you forgot to mention that before the landing a team of South Korean spies were sent into Inchon to gather information which they ultimately sacrificed their lives. It was mentioned in a Korean movie called Operation Chromite which came out a few years ago

@Fwendly Mushwoom This US “puppet dictatorship” was no less worse than USSR’s North Korean puppet regime. Plus, i have to remind you that South Korea today is a democracy and one of the richest countries in the world while North Korea is an authoritarian shithole still stuck in the 1950s.

Was that Battle of Yuldong (April 22 - 23, 1951)? The 10th Battalion Combat Team (BCT) found themselves cut off from the outside world after their UN allies were forced to retreat by hordes of Chinese and North Korean soldiers. After their allies retreated in disarray, the Filipinos-numbering a mere 900- found themselves surrounded on all sides by 40,000 enemy soldiers who attacked all night. When the smoke cleared, 15 Filipinos were killed, dozens were wounded, and 14 were missing in action. However, the BCT killed more than 500 Chinese soldiers while inflicting a huge number of casualties on their side. UN commanders were even surprised to learn later that the Filipinos refused to retreat and instead kept on fighting. The 10th BCT's action at Yultong allowed the US 3rd Infantry Division to successfully withdraw from the battlefield and later turned the tide of the Korean War. Or the Rizal Day Battle for Combat Outpost No. 8 (June 17 - 21, 1952)? The 19th Battalion Combat Team fought a gory four-day battle with Chinese forces who were attempting to overrun their positions in Combat Outpost No. 8, a tactically important segment which comprised Hill 191 (also known as Arsenal Hill) and Hill Eerie. The Chinese lost two tanks and more than 500 soldiers. The 19th BCT, meanwhile, suffered approximately less than two dozen dead and wounded.

[3:50] the reason the green beach was attacked first was because of the tidal restrictions, and they feared of the time it would take to reinforce a landing , thus leaving any force inland vulnable , to counterattack or unable to reinforce or supply...this the attack was done in stages to adjust to the tidal restrictions environment from the safety of green beach which was almost a island of its own making and easier to defend. [[The tides at Incheon have an average range of 29 feet (8.8 m) and a maximum observed range of 36 feet (11 m), making the tidal range there one of the largest in the world and the littoral maximum in all of Asia. ] :P
