Stalin screwed china over with the Korean War. He promised heavy aid from air support to providing supplies for China for intervention in the war, but actually provided little. The Chinese troops fight well when they are under supplied, with little to no firepower and under enemy air superiority.

[@barbiquearea]

He also screwed China over even before that when he refused to back the Communists under Mao during the Chinese Civil War even though the US had poured tons of weapons and aid to the Nationalist side.

[@wanxinmike]

He also tried to screw China by keeping the Liaodong Peninsula as a permanent Red Navy base for the USSR. The Korean War showed the Soviets that China didn't fuck around and therefore the Soviets handed control of the port back to China.

There's a major reason the Soviets didn't do more in Korea- they also could've used their veto power on the UN security council to keep the UN from sending troops at all. They were sheepish during the Korean War because, as a new nuclear power with an underdeveloped nuclear arsenal, the US could've easily sold the idea of a retaliatory nuclear strong on the USSR to their allies. The US was even threatening non-nuclear China with nuclear weapons. The Soviets weren't prepared to risk likely total atomic annihilation.

[@waterfall1100]

First of all, I can probably say that the Chinese did not want to get involved in this bloody conflict. China was in the middle of reconstruction after the Second World War and it would be fairly wasteful to invest in a conflict against the United States. However, consider the situation that China was in. The United States was just mere miles from the Chinese border. General MacArthur was a fairly trigger-happy general, and he made it clear that he would not mind to use the Korean War was a pretext to attack China. Even if the attack did not immediately arrive, having the American military so close to china’s industrial north and its capital city certainly does leave the Chinese extremely vulnerable to potential future attacks. Furthermore, having the Americans so close to China also made it much easier for them to perform various sabotage operations against the Chinese, further destabilizing the nation. In addition, although China did have a defence treaty with the Soviets, Stalin (and the USSR in general) was not a party that China could actually rely upon. This was proven during the actual conflict, as the USSR did not provide China with the air support it needed to counter-attack the Americans, causing China to suffer high casualties in the conflict. This sentiment was confirmed just a few years later during the Sino-Soviet split. So, given that China had unreliable (and potentially hostile) “allies” and was facing a UN force led by a very offensively-minded American general, we can assume that China joined this war mainly for its self-preservation. I hope what I said made sense. But… I would like to add that China’s biggest mistake for attempting to invade South Korea. The initial intervention in North Korea was a just defensive action and was immensely successful. With relative surplus in munitions, the Chinese were able to use blizkreig tactics to achieve the following: 1) The farthest military retreat EVER suffered by the Americans, a record that holds till this day. 2) Nearly 1:1 combat loss ratio relative to the Americans All this forced the American to attempt a ceasefire mere months after the Chinese offensive. Had the Chinese taken the ceasefire, that would have marked the end of their just defensive action. Sadly, Mao was overconfident and decided to pursue the offensive further. Pushing into the South Korea, the Chinese eventually basically ran out of food and munitions. Logistics on the Chinese were poor, so resupply was virtually non existent. It was under this context that China suffered higher casualties than the Americans during the subsequent UN counteroffensives. So rejecting the ceasefire proposal was China’s worst mistake here….. booo

[@文杰张-m1y]

You're right.

[@notatrollll]

Unfortunately, that led to more massive loss of lives to Chinese, Americans, AND Koreans that all could have also been avoided. I understand the logic, but some consideration should be put into the use of your mens lives. The US should have stopped at the barrier and fortified South Korea and called it a day. china shouldnt have intervented. Much blame to go around, meanwhile as usual the civilians and foot soldiers on all sides suffer. Not to mention, now we have North Korea as a dictatorship almost nobody cares for. my hope is China finally comes down on North Korea and forces them to behave as Korean/US intervention is something China doesn’t want either.

[@robfl100]

I don't think Macarthur was as trigger happy as he's often made out to be. The Americans didn't want a war with North Korea (or China) in the first place, in fact they deliberately kept the South Korean army under-supplied in order to restrain them from provoking a war with the North. Despite being unprepared for a full scale war, the US and South Koreans were able to drive the North Koreans back across the border after 2 months of heavy fighting, and extensive use of air power. Despite the KPA being devastated, they were still in a position to launch guerilla attacks, so Macarthur gave them an ultimatum to surrender before invading North Korea. Even after they refused, he still gave them a final opportunity to accept defeat, before launching the invasion.

[@zidorovichburblyatya2862]

@@robfl100 McArthur was a trigger-happy general because he wanted to nuke China while Eisenhower and Bradley don't want that to happen because even Soviets have no nukes yet at that time, both have massive numbers that would make deployment of nukes impossible to determine because communists fight harder when many of them die.

I have many stories to tell. My grandfather served in the Ninth Corps of the Chinese People's Volunteers and participated in the second battle. In the battle outside the 三所里, his company survived only four soldiers who could fight, but they were still quickly incorporated into other teams and groups. After hearing the sound of the bugle, they charged the defense line consisting of three tanks, semi permanent concrete fortifications and machine gun fire points, and their weapons were only Soviet assisted ppsh41, Moxinagan rifles and Sanpaci shiki hohei ju. The soldiers of the two battalions participated in the offensive mission, The heavy firepower and support firepower they could get sounded like a joke: there were only two SG43 heavy machine guns and a Japanese 75mm cannon (this was far more than the average luxury configuration). During the second campaign of the Korean War, the temperature on the North Korean Plateau reached minus 45 degrees Celsius, which was the coldest winter in Korea for half a century, A large number of soldiers from southern China are seriously short of warm clothing (More than one third of the front-line soldiers of the regiment still wear autumn uniforms, and the winter cotton padded clothes are far from being able to cope with the same cold temperature as the Moscow campaign of World War II. The food is only the powder made of beans and rice. One fifth of the soldiers suffer from night blindness to varying degrees. Even 125 soldiers of an entire company are frozen to death in the ambush position. When the scout who delivered the order arrives, he finds that they are still frozen to death Holding a crawling posture for battle), the non combat casualties of the Ninth Corps were four times that of the casualties in this battle. The morale and fighting spirit of the CPC army were frightening, but the backward logistics was a disaster. Soldiers once created a miracle of walking, completed 72 kilometers of mountain march in 14 hours, and carried out tactical interposition against the enemy, However, the backward equipment and logistics make it impossible for them to expand and consolidate their combat achievements. Their terrible experience is far beyond my imagination. May the war never happen again.

Turkish Brigade was the unit who stopped rapidly advancing Chinese Army in Kunu-Ri or widely known Battle of Wavon. They were encircled, they were VERY outnumbered and outgunned, they refused to surrender and fight until their last bullets against the Chinese, hold their advance there and allowed UN Army to withdraw before get encircled by advancing Chinese. When their ammo ran out they charged with bayonets and break the encirclement. Which after this battle Turkish Soldiers became very famous in UN forces, specially widely known with their brutal tactics against the Chinese and Koreans. THEN Kumyangjang-Ni where again Turkish Soldiers took a highly protected and reinforced hill from Chinese after an failed British and Australian charge. Turks took the hill and when they saw Chinese soldiers was running to another hill they attacked with Bayonets again and took two more hills, opening a large hole in Chinese defense line give a UN army chance to push PLA back to 38th Parellel.

@Gardabor denterfield Bruh, Turks would have just give up and surrender to the Chinese (Like most of the ROK and U.S soldiers did in war) and allow entire UN forces to encircled. They hold their ground delayed the enemy as much they can while Americans were on full retreat. Yeah they lost the battle but literally allowed UN to keep the fight going.

The Chinese military was extremely ill equipped at that time compared to the US. The Chinese economy was also very undeveloped. As a result, they were unable to support their push all the way to the South of the Korean peninsular. The US commander who replaced Douglas MacArthur, Matthew Ridgway, was very sharp to detect the weakness of the Chinese supply line and was able to capitalise on that to push the Chinese all the way back to the 38th parallel. Imagine this was the Chinese military at that time. Would the US be prepared to go to war with China now?

It was a battle of survival for China & North Korea hence their soldiers were fighting for home. Thats the highest motivation possible. Of course they routed the UN here.

I think that the USA's real blunder here was that they didn't sign up for War Thunder using the Kings and Generals promo code, and consequently did not receive a free premium ship and air upgrade and a 3 day account bonus which would have allowed them to retain control of the entire Kofean peninsula indefinitely.

[@conqiucius]

I think, the real problem on the USA side is their much worshiped commander in chief Gen. Douglas McArthur. McArthur has gained his fighting experience mostly during the Pacific war with small scale battles on islands where he was hopping between them. This experience didn't help him further in such large scale infantry battle fields with more than 1 million troops. For example in a bigger land area like in Philippines he has failed completely against Japanese. The only idea McArthur had after the battles in video was asking for nukes. McArthur's successor Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway performed much better than him, because Matthew Ridgway has gained his experience in massive infantry battles against the much stronger Wehrmacht infantry of Nazi Germany.

The war my grandpa fought as a young lieutenant in PV Army. Though PVA was inferior in weapons and equipment, they were highly experienced soldiers thru Japanese war and civil war. It wasn’t pretty but they won respect from US soldiers by taking them back to 38 parallel.

These are seasoned veterans. They fought the WW2 against Japan and the subsequent Chinese civil war, both of which were grand battles involving years of fighting and tens of millions of soldiers.

Fewer people realise that at the end of this video: 1. the role of North and South Korea was very different and almost reversed of what is nows as North was then a industrial powerhouse and South was then a Pro-West junta, 2. In 10 years (1940 - 1950) China went from a weakling that couldn't even defend against the Japanese in WW2 into taking 500K US troops head on with fewer men as at the point in time in the video, 3. Had ceasefire been made as Marshal Peng De Huai had wished for Korean War is a victory for China at this point with its military objectives fully achieved (regrettedbly this didnt happen as you will see in later videos), 4. Pre- 1958 China was advancing at a rapid pace but unfortunately stagnated for the next 30 years until Deng Xiao PIng's reforms in the 80s, if this 30 year stagnation didn't occur, China could have easily over taken any of its neighbour by the 90s and the world would look very different today

[@davidxu3357]

Great video, but I think these little soldier models that represent forces on the map are a bit misleading. While the UN troops were well equipped with tanks and cannons, had full air control, and enjoyed suprior supplies, soldiers on the Chinese side pretty much fought with only rifles and hand grenades. Because of the US air force's diligent work, Chinese trooped had huge difficulty in supplying food and clothing. More Chinese were killed by mal-nutrition and cold winter than by bullets. They could have done much much better, if they had 1/3 of what the UN soldiers had. Despite that, the Chinese troops managed to crush the UN troops and hold the line. This feat was achieved with innovative military tactics, a powerful command system, and individual soldiers' valor and loyalty. Hunderds of platoons of young soldiers willingly sacrificed their own lives, just to buy some time for their friendly forces to prepare defense or initiate a deadly attack. In many cases, UN soldiers found that Chinese soldiers waiting for them in an ambush were already frozen to death, even if they could escape from their duty and survive. These were the best soldiers in all human history. Hope politicians of both countries learn from history and cherish the peace.
