If possible can you do the Abyssinian-adal war or the ajuraan vs Portuguese naval battles across the east coast of Africa.

Calling your planned offensive 'Operation Home by Christmas' is like telling your partner that you're 2 days from retirement in a cop movie, or a soldier showing a photo of a loved one in a war movie.
This is the correct military response as a: the Chinese attack came as a complete surprise and b: before withdrawing you need to know what's in front of you. Truman should have fired himself because of this and not MacArthur....which in a way did happen as Eisenhower took Command...yet again..
@@georgedoolittle7574 I don't know, it seems like whenever you hear about a general saying 'the war will be over by christmas' it never is. And if Truman listened to McArthur we could have had a Third World War breaking out as the US used nuclear weapons against China and provoked a retaliation from the USSR.
@@georgedoolittle7574 The Chinese attack only came as a surpirse as US generals thought that the reports of large numbers of troops massing at the border was bogus. Its hard to hide movements of a million man army
These are signs of bad luck.

The Chinese intervened and the war lasted for a few more years.
@@charizard25. I believe it refers to what the Kaiser of the German empire said to his army at the start of WW1"You will be home by Christmas"

@@HOTPLATEGAMING Your name means "idiot" in Chinese pronunciation. I think you are very accurate in your position.
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.
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.
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.
kabigon The port’s name is LvShun, known as Port Arthur to the West
@@hyltoniali257 yes thanks, I had forgotten!
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.
"Home by Christmas" offensive... It's like MacArthur knew he had screwed up.
Macarthur: Home by christmas
Mao: Chopped up by Christmas.

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
You're right.
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. They are your baby, deal with them
@@notatrollll not China. It was the us who shouldn’t have intervened. Need me to remind you who intervened first? It was the us.
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.
@@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. A Vietcong from a documentary (Face of the Enemy) proved that.

The Korean War gets shadowed by the Vietnam war so much, it’s nice to see more information on it👍
It’s called the forgotten war
Which is ironic, since Korea remains a powder keg. Vietnam is now irrelevant, except in one vital aspect: the reaction to the reaction to the Vietnam War has made American militarism something like a state religion.
Its because smug European fucks can't hold the Korean war against us. Objectively in Vietnam, US Forces killed 1.1 million Viet Cong and NVA troops, and wiped out nearly 85% of the NVA Officer corps. When bombings on Hanoi increased, they were already preparing to hold peace talks in Paris, but they held out just a bit longer and got lucky when US forces withdrew. But the Europeans won't listen to this, nor will they listen to the fact that one of their own started the war and had us dragged into it. They hear "US Withdraw" and think HAHAHA AMERICA BAD YOU LOSE!!!111!!

He told me he had a gunshot wound in his right focile. He often dreamt that he was still in the cave and hearing the bomb of American planes outside.He joined the red army during the long march in 18 years old and survived all these years.Then he was sent to Korea and became part of Volunteer Army. Wish for China and the US can work to ensure peaceful and stable world.
yes, hopefully we have peace and china would not be a power hungry imperialistic like america.
Spicy Soda China will never be like US. If you know more about China culture, you will realize China loves peace. China only intends to govern itself well and takeover it belongs. Never invade other countries or cause rigional tension
Zhoujie Gu China is invading countries right now tho
Xander Zeno invading which country? Tell me
Zhoujie Gu probably China itself i guess. Some people never use their brain when they type.
China used armies of infantry to push back armies that grossly surpassed them in terms of tanks, aircraft and artillery. Truly an impressive feat.
not really, they attacked unprepared troops like pussies and got fucking rekt by the end of the war. losing a shitton of their people and gaining nothing.
@@GodsChosen69 "attacking unprepared troops like pussies" you mean using strategy?......Should they have gotten together on the battlefield with a 3 day notice and say 'ready set go' before attacking next time?
Alfonso Castro Hold on....aren’t you suppose to stay alert under such circumstances (war)?
US military are "Unprepared troops ". No, the actual terms is paper armies, look and sound really powerful on paper but the reality is ship get sunk, planes get shot down and soldiers get blown up. The Korean war and the Vietnam war, remember.
Well, ROK army is a weak point in their defense line, PVA always choose to break through the defense line that ROK solders are holding.
Interesting fact: After the Korean War, the US military began to attach great importance to special operations and night operations, and the PLA began to attach great importance to mechanization and heavy fire support.
Up to now, the US military has the world's most expensive night vision device, and PLA, even the COOKING SQUAD carry a throwaway anti-tank rocket launcher for each one.

Didn't know China was ferociously fighting against the whole UN before, this war is way underreported, maybe because it doesn’t look so good for the UN force. Anyway keep up the good work and really enjoyed the information, glad to know more about this war!
it is reported here in Asia due to it being a war where strategies are done correctly.
Lol, these replies are ridiculous. It wasn’t fight the “whole UN” it was fighting a fraction of a fraction of the military capabilities the UN could muster. The west had just finished WW2 (during which the USA saved China from japan while the communists ran away like scared children) and it didn’t want another full scale deployment to Korea.
@Zayed Haroon China got "whooped" pretty badly by the end when they over extended their supply lines and sacrificed the well being of their troops for rapid offenses into the south. It got so bad, that PLV generals Zhou Enlai and Peng Dehuai got in a shouting argument with government representatives over the lack of supplies and equipment promised to the troops. Casualties of PLV soldiers also increased dramatically when faced hardened U.S., ROK, and UN resistance to the point China's aim to push UN forces out of Korea was settled to mere "stalemate" with North Korea remaining a buffer.

Underestimating it's opponents and overestimating itself, pretty much sums up every military campaign of the US since WWII.
Let's also not forget that this is China at one of it's weakest points in it's 4,000+ year history.
To be fair the Chinese had just recently concluded their own civil war. While the country was in ruins and the Chinese military lacked the same resources, weapons or firepower campared to the US and their allies, they did have some of the most battle hardened soldiers at the time. And I mean veterans who had fought the Japanese for eight years and then each other for four years after that.
yep... .if the Chinese can repel the American and UN forces with just simply numbers and basic weaponry (which is less advanced than their opponents) and with no air and sea support. just imagine what kind of damage they can do today.... they have everything the Americans have and 4 times the numbers
@@AK-di7ws Except they dont have everything we have, they have less and shittier copies of the stuff they know we have.
@@cefb8923 that's what most people think. but even if they don't have the best weapon as the American.... they are still very capable. Just imagine taking this Korean war as an example. the UN underestimate the Chinese totally (base on their weapon at that time is so outdated as compared to the US. they can still fight with the US & UN to a stalemate. whereas the UN and American have all the weapons at their disposal. the Chinese at that time doesn't have any fighter jets, aircraft carriers, nukes, or any of the luxuries as the Americans. but today they have everything the Americans have. Maybe for some not better but still very capable. Today China is not yesterday's China.
@@AK-di7ws Comparing the Chinese soldiers in the Korean war to Chinese soldiers today would be a massive mistake.
China today does not have battle hardened veterans that cut their teeth serving against a superior foe for 8+ years.
Dont get it twisted; the technology of today makes Chinas numbers pretty meaningless in everything but a land war, and a defensive land war at that.
Seeing as how the general American populace is probably better armed than the PLA it doesnt matter how many people China can throw at a problem; the days of human wave tactics are over and the only thing numbers do is increase the number of dead.
The quality of your armaments, and the skilled manpower pool to operate said armaments, is way more important. USA beats everyone in that, not just China.
So it was 300k Chinese army vs 700k UN army with better equipment of course.
Guys I found out in Google
That 2.3million Chinese personel participated in Korean war.
There is a misconception that China won by huge crowd strategy. actrully there are more soldiers in UN
@Snazzio it was 300k and it stayed that way. All of the battles didn't require more men. It's just western media suggesting 1 American gunned down 1000 chinese
@james balbutin that source is wrong. Within Korea it was around 300k. 1.2mil if u push it with a bais. The figure u gave us probably includes logistics medical with the troops rotating in and out of the country
rotating you dont use the same 300k troops unless you want them to be completely destoryed mentally@@jamesbalbutin6796
"For over a hundred years, foreign powers had viewed Chinese armies with contempt, believing they had neither the leadership, nor the expertise, nor the will to fight a modern war. No longer."
- Professor Richard Baum, UCLA, describing the impact of the Korean War in [The Fall and Rise of China].
The Korean War confirmed the view of foreign powers if anything. The Chinese ruthlessly threw wave after wave at UN forces to try and dislodge them from their positions. They had the complete upper hand and still could not pass the 38th parallel, and pathetically lost an incredible amount of manpower during the UN withdraw to the 38th parallel, something only a primitive army with horrible leadership could even have happen to them.

Here's something few remember: while Soviet air support was limited, Stalin did make due on his promise to provide some air support for China's intervention. When the UN forces shot down some "Chinese" planes, they noticed that the pilots inside were Soviets. It's likely that these Soviet pilots were training the Chinese on how to fly such planes. At home though, the US never revealed such information until long after the Korean War ended, as such a revelation would've resulted in outcries for war against the USSR, and both the US and USSR understood that such a war was the last thing anyone needed.

Then why has China always lost almost every war?? The Chinese always have been defeated and controlled by other peoples, such as Mongolians, Manchus, Xianbei, and Xiongnu. Chinese have been ruled by other peoples for more than 1400 years. The royal family that ruled the Chinese for such a long time were non-Chinese. They spoke Manchu and Mongolian etc, not Chinese.

@Ahmad Zubair Chinese goal was push USA away from China's door step,not to help North Korean, China don't give a shit about the fat Kim
@Ahmad Zubair And those death numbers only proves my point further.
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.

Cold weather is Chinese greatest enemy, because of that many died and disabled. USA just want to involve in Korea, Vietnam and Taiwan to encompass China. Just like it encompasses Russia from Europe now reaching Ukraine not allowing Russia to ease.

Alright boy, let me tell you what was the Turkish Brigade which my Grandfather was part of in Korea.
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.

Mr.Tobacco Yes Turks did well, but you do realise that it’s extremely difficult to attack an fortified position without artillery, air and armoured support in modern warfare right? The Chinese were a more powerful force in the war in terms of overall performance. The Chinese fend off countless UN assaults that were supported by artillery, tanks and aircrafts, that’s something to brag about.
@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.

It is hardly a natural progression, because, as we know from history and dictatorship has an expiration date.
@Lil Rawri I don't think it is aimed at "elite population", but to provide cheap workforce and cheap electorate, which will vote for those who enables them.
In the past those were workers, who could be used like that, but nowadays most of the Western people are too educated and mistrustful of their governments, this is why they need to replace them with badly educate and dependable immigrants.
The thing it is just a temporary measure, because, sooner or later kids of those immigrants will become educated and mistrustful again and the circle will start yet again.

The Chinese were numerically inferior, inferior by the equipment and their numbers, had no air support. logically imagining Chinese defeat was a no brainer. But the Chinese leaders believed it wasn't the number or the equipment but human spirit that decided the outcome of war. That is what the Chinese amply demonstrated, this was a clear defeat for the UN forces even if fought to a stalemate.
MCARTHUR should have stopped at the Korean border. Instead he pushed into Chinese territory and got China involved.
Based on where McArthur placed his army, it was pretty obvious he has plans to invade China. China had warned numerous times not to get too close to its borders.
UN never crossed into Chinese territory at all. Truman was 100% on that.
What was needed was US-China dialogue. Didn't happen until Nixon and Kissinger.
Well, he did have plan to ship KMT troops from Taiwan to northeastern China. China warned him about the dangers of pushing too deep towards Chinese- Korean border. He simply ignored the message.
@@vincentsong1355 yep he was wrong, Truman was right.
This is/was a proxy war between the great powers. China + Soviet Union fighting USA in Korea. The Korean suffered the most because the great powers were coward to confront each directly.

It's still very surprising and interesting to how the Chinese soldiers despite having so little heavy artillery and advanced weapons compared to the UN troops, were able to force the UN and South Korean troops to retreat back to the 38 parallel.

Chinese forces had 300,000 men and antiquated equipment, the UN forces had 723,000 and state of the art weapons. What followed was the greatest defeat the US and its allies have ever tasted. Mao is correct in calling the US a Paper Tiger.

@@briant5685 We can see why the mighty US, the worlds sole "superpower", has been attacking major powers such as Afghanistan, Iraq, and Libya.

i totally agree with you brother, han chinese has taken too much bullshit.
Those Chinese commie soldiers involved in this war were atrociously purged by the red guards during the Cultural revolution. That's a huge difference in the end.
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?
Absolutely not. China would win in a landslide against wokeism.
@@dylanblack3279 You are absolutely right. There's nothing that amazes me more than to watch the US self-destruct before my eyes.
Now it's a different ball game.
China is a superpower now. The Chinese have whatever the US have, fighter jets, submarines, tanks, helicopters, space weapons, nuclear bombs.
It will never be a walkover for US . Russia is now an ally of China. Both able to fight US and Nato.

Calling it a pyrrhic victory is generous.😂
When it comes to Chinese intervention in the War, there are lots of finger-pointing between those viewing the war from different vintage points. Before anyone accuses anyone of "re-writing history", it behooves the accuser to first do some research into what the history is supposed to look like by relying on academically credited resources.
Here are some scholastic consensuses in the West on Korea War related issues that are not generally touched on in popular media:
*1, prior to the war, both Koreas were actively preparing for war and determined to conquer each other by military means.* No credited historians question the fact that South Korea under the dictatorship of Rhee Syng-man was just as hell-bent on militarily crashing the North as Kim was on crashing the South. His government was so antithetical to the division of Korea that South Korea government took no part in the subsequent peace negotiation and didn't even sign the truce in 1953. Rhee never recognized the 38th line and various plans had been drawn up by South Korea of invading and annexing the North.(Since South Korea's democratization in late 1980, these plans had been declassified.) The only problem was the South Korea army was much weaker due to the less-than-abundant American military aids/weapon transfer. (In contrast, the Soviet sponsored the North lavishly.) While the North attacked first, the intention of eventually crossing the 38th line and vanquishing the other side on battlefield was the same for both sides.
*2, Kim Il-sung started the war without China's knowledge.* Kim and CCP were indeed allies. The former lent the later substantial support when CCP was on defensive in Manchuria under the KMT's onslaught during 1946-1947. When CCP finally turned the tiding around in Chinese Civil War in 1949, Kim approached Mao and asked for reciprocal support in the upcoming Korean Civil War. To Kim's chagrin, Mao sternly warned him against starting a war, pointing out the fact that unlike the Chinese Civil War, which was purely a domestic affair, the 38th line was legitimized by the UN resolutions. Crossing the line inevitably risked Great Power's intervention. The disappointed Kim went to Moscow instead and acquired Stalin's approval. When North Korean launched sudden attack on June 25th 1950, CCP leadership was as caught off-guard as the South Koreans were.
*3, CCP's interests and intentions were aligned against being dragged into Korea War in 1950.* The Battle of Hainan, the last major battle of Chinese Civil War only ended in May 1950. KMT, though having largely retreated to Taiwan, was still in control of many groups of islands right off the Chinese coast, where it stationed its army that was still half a million strong. Its powerful air-force and navy completely dominated the air and sea and regularly bombarded the Mainland targets. In vast parts of Southwestern China, where CCP marched in only a few months before, the disintegrated Nationalists forces were reorganized in to guerrilla bands and continued to wage mobile wars against CCP, giving the latter a taste of its own medicine.(The assortment of anti-Communist forces had 2 million fighting men in 1950, and compelled CCP to launch the "Banditry Elimination Campaigns", which lasted into late 1952.) At the time the CCP's attention and resources were entirely dedicated to consolidating its control of the Mainland, building its air-force/navy from scratch, readying its force for the "liberation" of Tibet, and preparing for the upcoming Battle of Taiwan, which was planned to be launched in the summer of 1951. The last thing CCP wanted was being dragged into a foreign war before the final defeat of KMT. Even more nightmarish for CCP was the scenario of American intervention into the Chinese Civil War on the side of KMT. The need to avoid such occurrence was the primary reason why Mao strenuously tried to dissuade Kim from stirring up trouble in Korean Peninsular while the Chinese Civil War was still raging on.
*4, US moved its fleet into Taiwanese strait immediately after the war's outbreak.* The fact Kim took the matter into his own hand without informing CCP did not register with the Americans, who saw the Communist world as a monolithic block, where all Communists were puppets of Moscow. (Such block-based perception was also the catalyst for America's intervention in Vietnam War a decade later.) On June 27th, two days after the war's outbreak, Trumen ordered the 7th fleet to sail into the strait of Taiwan and declared the inclusion of Taiwan into America's strategic defense circle in the Pacific. From CCP's perspective, it was an act of naked aggression - the USA, despite its emphatic assurance of non-intervention in the Chinese Civil War, (as pronounced in its official White Paper issued in August, 1949,) now blatantly went back on its own words and entered the Chinese Civil War without any provocation from CCP.
*5, CCP only moved to preparing intervention after the UN force pushed north of the 38th line.* There had been debate among the Allies as to whether to stop at the 38th line, or to cross the line only to further destroy the North Korean army and then withdraw back to the South, or to push for the complete destruction of the North Korean state and the annexation of all its territories into the South. General MacArthur most adamantly insisted upon the last option and he prevailed in the end. It represented a controversially "expensive" interpretation of the UN mandate, which simply defines the objective as "stopping aggression". It also ignored CCP's repeated warnings that China would not "sit and watch" should the UN force cross the 38th line. On Oct1st, UN force crossed the line. On Oct. 8th, CCP's Politburo reached the decision of sending in PVA. On Oct 15th, MacArthur assured Truman the Chinese were simply posturing and the UN forces would secure the Chinese Border in the next few days and the soldiers would return home before Christmas. On Oct. 19th, PVA crossed the Yalu River. The rest is history.
*6, Kim Il-sung would enter Manchuria should he be defeated in North Korea.* Pursuant to the existing treaties signed between CCP and Kim's party (initially in 1947 then again in 1949), in the event of Kim's defeat on Korean Peninsular, CCP was obligated to permit Korean Communist to retreat to Manchuria, where it could regroup and set up a guerilla base as it did in WWII. Further more, Stalin gave CCP explicit instruction that Kim should rebuild his force in Manchuria if he was forced out of North Korea. That would be disaster for CCP and China in general for two reasons: firstly, it would significantly undermine China's sovereignty in Manchuria, given that Kim would operate as a "state within state", enlisting support from local Korean ethnic minorities. (It would bear directly analogy to the Palestinian Liberation Organization's retreat to Jordan, and later Lebanon, after its expulsion by Israel. The PLO's creation of a "state within state" led to both war with Jordan and Lebanese Civil War.) Secondly, it would likely trigger MacArthur's invasion of Manchuria, justified by the same "expensive" interpretation of the UN mandate. Given the UN forces ignored the Inter-Korean border in pursuit of Kim, there was little reason to believe they would definitely stop at the Chinese-Korean border should Kim retreat to Manchuria. CCP was in no position to defy Stalin by refusing Kim's entry. The only effective strategy of forestalling its happening was to not let Kim be pushed out of North Korea.
*7, even without Kim's retreat to Manchuria, there were many signposts suggesting the US might be planning to use Korea as the springboard to launch direct invasion of Mainland China in coordination with KMT.* General MacArthur visited Taiwan on July 31st, where he made some dramatic speeches on solidarity with the Nationalists in common struggle against the Communists. There was also the discussion on airlifting Nationalist divisions directly to Korea. (Remember, this happened without CCP's provocation, as it was still 2 month and 1 week before the CCP finally decided to participate in Korean War.) KMT propaganda made maximum hay of the visit, proclaiming it as the beginning of Chinese Civil War Phase II, where KMT would fight alongside Americans to take the Mainland China back, starting from Manchuria. Chiang Kai-shek himself was thrilled at such proposals. (Ever since KMT's loss of Mainland China, its propaganda machine had been dialed up to 11, blaring out assertions 24/7 that the defeat on Mainland was merely a temporary setback, and the US would join the war soon, and the counter-attack was imminent.) The war plan KMT drafted up involved deploying four Nationalist army groups to Korea to attack across the Manchurian border in conjunction with a massive amphibious assault, simultaneously launched from Taiwan. Blessed with hindsight, we know now that Truman eventually overruled MacArthur and refused to endorse Chiang's attempt at escalation. CCP leadership in the summer of 1950 did not know that. With American soldiers a stone's throw away from the Yalu River, the prospect of American invasion of Manchuria on behalf of & in coordination with its KMT allies did not at all seem far-fetched - America's unprovoked intrusion into the Taiwanese Strait heralded that, General MacArthur publicly talked about that, KMT itself openly mobilized for that - what more convincing did the CCP leadership need? If the Americans, in their determination to crash Communism in both Korea and China, was bent on making CCP the next target anyway, getting the Americans bogged down in Korea before they could cross the Chinese border was naturally the most sensible surviving strategy for CCP.

In this blog it says that a ROC flag was captured by the Turkish army in Korean war, now reserved in Istanbul Military Museum
While the ROC (who just retreated to taiwan years ago) did not take part in neither side of the war.... and a Communist Chinese soldier would unlikely carry a ROC flag
Can you do some research on the Turkish sites about this flag? I've really very curious about it
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.

@Zayed Goki Well ... it is turely not means too much for a foreigner, then that is ok.
@Zayed Goki Mainland China of course. I dont think people from taiwan would care the PVA and PLA thing, XD. Usually they treat CPC related thing as a whole from an ideology perspective.
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.
The UN forces were also veterans but definitely didn’t experience as many hardship as the Chinese force and weren’t as tough and willing to sacrifice.
Animation in these modern warfare videos really is top notch.
Thanks!
300k chinese + 70k n.korean
vs
723k UN forces
yet people say that chinese win the battles by human wave
Welcome to the world of ideology.
After read like dozens of comments and their replies, I have given up in understanding the video historically. I do believe though, every government serve and should serve who built them. To each nation, these people are different. That’s why the world hasn’t united, either way.
Technically a "human wave attack" used by the Chinese troops was actually a tactic that made a lot of sense. It's something like the fire and maneuver strategies.
@@jason8923 there's none human wave attacks anymore, not after WW I.
Only in movies.
So stop being ignorant and stop saying that.
@@zeflute4586 ok
The Chinese did pretty well in the Korean War considering Mao said “miller’s and rifles”(小米加步枪)was how they won wars around that time...
except most of the Chinese frontline commanders who returned from the war were traumatized by the sight of American firepower wiping out hundreds of their friends at a time, and the Chinese army has been obsessed with fire support ever since (which didn't do them much good in the brief war with Vietnam).
@@day2148 well the war in vietnam happened right after the cultural revolution so its not surprising that the pla wasnt doing fantastic. that said, yes the american firepower was and still is great, hence why china measures its troops it measures then against american fire power, in fact it specifically arms and trains its army in the north(facing russia and korea) in the ameircan fashion, with emphases on modern fire team level equiptment and network support.
@Hoàng Nguyên it's easy to win a defensive war when your country is in harsh terrain (ask the Germans how many teeth the Swiss broke from them over the centuries). Vietnam only gets bragging rights when it wins an offensive war in the enemy's terrain familiarity -- like when the Chinese defeated the Goturks in harsh Gobi desert.
@@prastagus3 if you think prolonged border skirmishes between two powers are rare and count as a "war" then you need to read some history books lol!
Out-gunned, out-equipped and poorly supplied CN light infantry staged continuous offence against highly technologically advanced US force, partitioning the later's formation under heavy artillery fire and air bombing. It was one of the most badass moment in modern military history. Homage to the most beloved people!!
Yet you couldn't get taiwan
@@jr3753 Oh I forgot who lost the entire mainland to the commie partisans even with all those confiscated Japanese armaments and American military aids....mmmmm....strange.....
j r the Americans had battleships in the straights. Also China was originally planning an invasion until this war happened. It’s ignorant to not give China credit for what they did in this war as they overcame extreme odds in order to EARN and fight for their freedom....after over a hundred years, destiny was in their own hands again, and they were willing to lay down their lives by the millions to kelp this precious freedom. Even if they cannot enjoy it at least their descendants have a chance to. Isn’t this what yiu Americans fight for? So why not respect what the Chinese accomplished? Remember warriors recognize warriors. True warriors seek eternity, for their ideals.
@@jr3753 Funny how u boast about Taiwan, when the PLA took the entirety of mainland China from the ROC lmao
@@jr3753 Yet you couldn't concur Afghanistan, what a shame.
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.
It's amazing how battles, wars can turn around because of a lack of respect. Keep your foot on the pedal!!!! Never under value your foe!!!!
How did you get the Kings and generals helmet beside your username?
And pretty soon it was Mao's turn trying to push down the 38th parallel...
In war it's very blurry of the line between underestimating your opponent and trying to take the advantage. The reality is not that easy and simple like a word you've said.
@Tecumseh Mess for who? The NK situation works out just great for China
@@nottoday3817 lol pretty much. Even after the Korean War the South was so poor that almost half of the SK economy was based around prostitution to American soliders
Guess they don't like to tell people THAT
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. Its safer to say NATO than UN since all fighting under UN banner were US's puppies. Imagine if the Soviets also decided to intervene. Thats like the West fighting against both the Dragon & the Bear
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. I still remember he said a boulder dropped from sky cleaving a young captain head open right in front and brain splashing everywhere. That was cruelty of a real war. Wish there would not be one like that anymore.
Respect and salute to your grandpa.

The Taiwanese should be informed what a real war is. They think it’s like a video game
@Edward I mean, it's entirely possible. The US definitely won't come saving them. Taiwan has one of the weakest military.
@@lbchen6160 Yes you could probably overpower Taiwan if you really wanted to...But WHY? Are they not Chinese people too?? Why bring warfare to your own family??
I have to say the 2nd Phase Offensive of Peng is just masterpiece.
Pincer movement. They split the entire UN front line into 2, encircling more than 5 entire UN divisions and causing thousands of casualties.
Other than the Vietnam war (which the Chinese were also involved in), US hasn’t been defeated like this since WW2.
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
you got one thing wrong. Deng's reform could not be possible without late 70's re-establishment of US-China diplomatic relation. In other words, China's development owed to the unique geo-political situation it was in.
When I think about the Chinese offensive in late 1950, I think about the 1st Marine and 7th Army division on the eastern side of the frontline. Thank you for making this video about the events on the western part of the frontline.
Just found out about your channel. I’m fascinated with the work you’ve done, all the given information and 3D map designs.
My great uncle was a Marine Captain and company commander at Chosin Reservoir. He described the Chinese counter attack there like it was as if someone ripped open an ant hill. He nearly shot one of his platoon commanders for cowardice.
Because Chinese have been in total war for about 40 years before korean war,the army has no fear of death.I read the documentry,says that soilders hold the mortars and ran after the UN army,RUN AND FIRE during the UN retreat to the coastline.Lots of soilders blocked the submachine guns with their chest and blow up themselves with their enenmy at the same time.That's totally insane.
Notice the UN forces out number the Chinese, more than double the number in the first and second phase especially.
@@zsarimaxim692 yet people love to throw around that racist cliche of "Chinese bugmen"

China: I’ll intervene if you try to conquer the north
MacArthur: Does it anyway
China: Invades
MacArthur: Surprised pikachu face
China is not the invading party. China never had wanted to occupy Korea’s land. Instead China was asked for help from the leader of Korea to send troops to intervene. As a matter of fact once the war is over, Chinese troops retreated with no delay.

@@eodyn7 Well, to realize your assumption, you will have to think of a way to persuade all Americans to fight another total war 5 years after WW2. The US mobilized a bit more than 10 million soldiers in WW2 and several million in the Korean War. I would say that was all the military could get at that time.
@@eodyn7 Yeah i dont think that Truman would go and say *Who wants to fight a total war against China and North Korea to die for a useless fucking Peninsula.*
@@eodyn7 well for starters they did have as much man as their enemies. They did have tanks superiority. They did have air superiority. They did have gun and mortar superiority. More US troops would mean that China sends more troops. That would mean more death on all sides. China had unlimited manpower to waste. Imagine having lost lets say 3 times more man. That would make it 600 000 dead Americans and 1 500 000 dead Chinese. War is a nasty business. Imagine that US had sent 10 times more troops. What would that lead to? 2 000 000 dead US troops?! You really want that?
39th army is called Iron Army for a reason, that reason is right in the video.
It would of been an one-sided mascre if the Chinese Army was as well equipped as the UN forces were.
Lol no US lost around 37000 troops while it is estimated China lost 180000 to 900000 troops. Considering China still refuses to release the official number, safe to say that the casualty is a lot more higher than 180000.
@@ultimateedgelord3586 While the US lost less than China in terms of casualty, you're forgetting the total casualty of UN troops are for greater than the Chinese troops, remember it not just US vs China, it's China vs 16 nations UN Alliance. south Korea alone lost more than half a million troops, it's well documented, look it up.
@@jnhg9808 "total casualty of UN troops are for greater than the Chinese troops"
You included the entire UN side but on the aggressor side u chose to include only the Chinese and not the Soviets and North Koreans as well? Lol nice double standards.
Total UN casualty was 170927 which is still lower than the 180000+ Chinese casualties estimate. Kind of tells you something about Chinese army efficiency.

What's magical about Chinese warfare? Korean War is a conventional big army war. There is very little of Communist guerrilla action going on.
@@pypy1986820 its not magical.
Well for oversimplied "rapid deployement infantry"
The reluctance of the American troops to admit they were ass whooped by an ill equipped and ill trained army of yellows, despite throwing its entire weight behind
That is why USA now nearly never mentioned Korea War in Education
dont forgot most of the loses the Chinese suffer were because of air bombings since they PVA lacked anti air
when it was even match they were on par
China really wanted a buffer.
And the US really wanted its warmonger foot in Asia.
@@TheWolf-xe2kz
The U.S. already had its "warmonger foot" in Asia if you want to use this logic, you low IQ fuckhead. What do you think Japan was for? It was basically a glorified air strip. There was also Taiwan, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, French Indochina etc. The U.S. and NATO already had a complete barrier around China. South Korea was an important state for the U.S. as it kept communist forces away from its central point in keeping its hegemony over the pacific, which was Japan. If the communists got a hold of South Korea, they would be a stones throw away from Japan.
It was essentially a game of geopolitical chess for both sides, but i guess you are too dumb to realize anything on such a grand scale, to you it was probably a liberation war.
