- Опубліковано 26 сер 2024
- Despite the fact that there have been clear signs that they might soon invade South Korea, when the North actually does in force on June 25th, 1950, it comes as a complete shock to the world. But is this a full invasion, or just cross border raids such as there were in 1949? And is there something more behind this? Stalin's Soviets? Mao's Chinese? And how will the world react? Find out this week as our week by week coverage of the war begins!

Well, here we are again- boldly going where no one has gone before. Welcome to the newest TimeGhost production, "The Korean War" with me, Indy Neidell, as your host (yep, I'm writing the pinned comment for once). We're all pretty excited about this project because we get to research and write stuff that's off the beaten path, and really dig into a period of history that can get overlooked and lost in the shuffle. I've personally had a lot of fun writing the first few episodes, but it was harder than I thought it would be. I mean, I've just written two entire WORLD wars, how hard could little Korea be? But so much of it is new to me, and so much of it is still controversial, and so much of it is just down and dirty that it was a real challenge figuring out what to put in the first few episodes- other than the action in the field- and what to leave for the coming weeks. We're all happy with how it turned out, though. You probably have a lot of questions about this series, so bring 'em on below. And of course, it would be just plain wrong for me to sign off here without thanking the TimeGhost Army, because, as most of you know, it is the Army that allows us to come up with multi-year projects like them and then execute them as we wish without any outside influences or sponsors. We get to make our own visions a reality; who can ask for more?
TQ Indy
Great work, keep it up!
Wishing you all the best with the series!
For the Great War and World War Two, you were on location. Are you going to Korea?
This series is going to be tip top. My Granddad served in the Korean War I'm the Royal Navy on board the destroyer HMS Comus. I have photos he took whilst in Korea and may I kindly ask if they would be of any use to the series.
North Korea starts a general offensive and Indy wasnt informed by telephone?! What a mess!
I know, right? He HAS to answer one of those funky-looking phones at some point. Practically a "Chekhov's Gun" thing going on there.
Phone name is Cobra. Designed by the Swedish State telecom company Televerket.
He was, actually! :D Check the video posted just before this one :)
guess the phone lines got cut
God please not more of that overdone phone gag

Present sir! Ready to watch this series unfold.
As a Korean, I can't thank you enough for covering our grimmest period.
I've watched your channel since WW1.
So rest assured laddies Mr. Neidell got ya'll a great history lesson.
Once again my sincerest appreciation, sir.
Thank you very much for the comment.

My dad was a WWII vet and already a Staff Sergeant at this time. He had a great duty assignment at Fort Bragg. He was training new Army truck drivers. He was engaged to my mom, who lived just north of the base. All of the sudden, he was headed to Korea. He was badly wounded in early 1951, but he made it home alive thanks to a great Army doctor and a wonderful Army nurse. My mom and dad married in 1952. I am their youngest. I finally came along in 1969. Dad passed away in 2004, and my mom passed away in 2023. My wife is from the Philippines, so we fly through the Seoul/Incheon airport every couple of years. I always think of my dad in Incheon. That is where he first landed in South Korea in 1950. 🇺🇸🇵🇭🇰🇷
@@AmericanFlyOnTheWall Dad landed in Inchon, he got there at the start of UN counteroffensive after Chinese offensive from the Chosin Reservoir. He made it home in 1952, Mom and Dad married in May. I came along in 1967, Dad passed in 2001, Mom in 2019.
This week is 10 years since the ww1 episodes began
I have been watching for 10 years but it feels like 40 years 😂
And Indy still looks just as good
And yet Conrad von Hötzendorf is still trying to retake Przemysl

Now... I feel quite old 😅
damn time flies. we were just in 1945 a couple months ago and it's already 1950
It is said that time flows faster as we grow up... I guess it is true then.

@@-few-fernando11 November 11th was ironically one of the saddest days in history for me
My grandfather fought 2 wars, 3 different armies. He was intellectual class living northern korean peninsula, but enlisted by the Japanese army in 1944 and sent to manchuria. After WW2 is over, he came back to his hometown, but then enlisted by North Korean army. He sent to South Korea to fight, but he surrendered and fight against the North Korean army. After war, he settled down and made a family in South Korea. Unfortunately, he passed away when I was little, but I have so much respect to him for survivng from all the chaos happened in korean peninsula.
2 wars for my great grandpa and grandpa, WW1 n WW2, WW2 n Korea,, respectivelly, Canada, gramps spent 15 months in Korea with Lord Strathcona's
“Fought with the Japanese” typical South Korean fighter
I remember. . . As a five-year-old. . . our family was “beating the heat” going to a wading/swimming pool. . . and my mother saying “the communists were starting another war “. This was in The Netherlands, about a year before my dad decided that a Canada would provide a better future.
Thanks, Dad. You did your best, and I’m grateful

It's nearly criminal, that, there are not some deeper pockets, donating to this channel. If I were rich, I easily donate A LOT to this channel.
You know academic history books exist right?
These videos are a good novelty and entertainment and put timeframes into perspective but it’s not like they’re doing new historical research.
“The Forgotten War” is forgotten no more. Given the quality of your past work, I’m excited for this latest project!
it's not forgotten at all for Korean people
it's not even that forgotten tbh, most people with decent historical knowledge know about it
nah always will be, no layman has or will understand hitler or stalin motivations not even in the next dozen years not to memtion the korean war
How is it "forgotten" when we literally experience the consequences and tensions are on all time high 😂
Like do people really think that North and South Korea are divided for no reason??
@@seeyouchumpThe consequences are well known,the "how we got here" part,not so much.
MacArthur dismissing warning signs just like in the bad old days of 1941.
And it won't be the last
Will he once again state «i shall return» i wonder
This guy is seriously underqualified to lead armies. Spoilers but in the future he's going to seriously botch things again.
Actually, the only person to believe the attack was coming was William Colby, of the CIA--he had been running covert recon into PRK, and those patrols reported the rail links being restored and bridges being strengthend to take tanks.
The only American to foresee the attack was William Colby of the CIA. He had been running intel patrols into NK, and those detected the restoration of formerly severed rail links and bridges being strengthened to support tanks. No one listened to him, because no one else noticed anything.
MacArthur getting surprised defensively. Never change, general. Never change.
SPOILER
He under-estimated the KPA and later, the Chinese. The latter initially had a somewhat poor reputation because US and British advisers to Chinese Nationalist forces in WW2 tended to disparage them - one British officer remembered them as always starting attacks half an hour late in WW2.
He was surprised in WW2.
Never underestimate the Communist .. Many people don't understand that the "Chinese Army" in the Korean War was not the "KMT Army" during World War II... Nazi Germany also regarded the Soviet Union as Tsarist Russia at the beginning... thinking that the war could be ended in 3 months
@@fromthefireside5677 Pearl Harbor was surprised, Macarthur in the Philippines did nothing after hearing about Pearl Harbor.
MacArthur was a bit of a dunce despite his popularity. He failed to prepare the Philippines and left aircraft in vulnerable positions even after learning about pearl harbor. He ignored the actual battle plans in case of Japanese attack and then followed those plans after wasting many soldier's lives.
MacArthur took his mother with him everywhere he went. McArthur fled the Philippines before it was lost and put someone else in charge to die as he fled.
He accepted the medal of honor even though he did no fighting in the Philippines and was directly responsible for the inadequate and humiliating loss? What? He was awarded the MoH for botching the defense and running away leaving his men behind?
MacArthur failed to properly prepare south Korea before the war. He failed to prepare in case the Chinese attacked once they pushed back the north Koreans.
He kept bad mouthing the president and wanted to escalate to a nuclear conflict and possibly invade China?
MacArthur is an overblown butt muppet.
@stevekaczynski3793 They got quite the rude awakening 😂
My Grandfather’s brother, pfc Thomas A Smith, went missing in action from the Korean war on Aug 2nd 1950. He was not found until recently. We received a notice his body was recently identified in a cemetery in Honolulu for unknown solders. He will be repatriated home as of Thursday. There will be a funeral for him Saturday. The Korean War is definitely a forgotten war where again people sacrificed their lives with little recognition. Thank you for bringing this War to light so we may better understand what they went through. Thank you
His remains must have been in "the punch bowl." That's where a lot of unidentified boys from ww2 and Korea ended up. Do you know what unit he was with?
He was in the punch bowl and he was with Company A 3rd Engineer Battalion 24th Infantry Division
@curtissmith2007 I served with 3rd battalion 21st infantry regiment, which was part of the 24th infantry division at the time. By the time I fought, we were in the 25th division. Sounds like he was part of the beginning of the war. Units of the 24th were the first American units in Korea with task force Smith. My regiment specifically. Glad he was finally identified and returned to his family.
This will definately be over by Christmas
Ok Putin, lol. (and everyone else before that)
@@mengshun You just shosed your ignorannce there, this is a comment that's been running since Indy did The Great War (WWI) week by week, starting in 2014. Since that war was, by all accounts, supposed to be 'over by Christmas'.

They all are!
'Which Christmas?' is the only question.
@@clasdauskas Apparently Christmas, 2024 at the earliest.
My modern history teacher in high school was a Korean War veteran. An engineer with the Canadian Forces. He wore a beard because of a shrapnel scar on his chin and jaw. He was a demanding but fair teacher, with a passion for the subjects he taught.
RIP Mr. Bowes
An uncle-in-law fought on Gloucester Hill, survived being PoW and came home forever changed. Never in good health, and unwilling to speak of what he endured, he died in his mid 40's. It made the Korean war has always been something I had great interest in. Veteran of your Great War and WW2, and very much looking forward to this. Cheers.
My grandfather was a tailgunner in a B-29 during the Korean War. It's great to see this war get attention.
It’s unfortunate that I missed both the WW1 and WW2 series but I’m glad I will be able to watch this one as it progresses
I highly recommend going back and watching some of the highlights of the WW2 series. Some of my favorite parts are Barbarossa, Stalingrad, and the battle of Kursk.
same!
They are still available online. You missed nothing. Go watch them.
Glad to have you on for this one!
@@indianajones4321 Beat me to it. Well, seconded.
My grandfather served in Korea. He always felt forgotten. I wish he could have seen this.
Mine did as well, but I have no idea how he felt. He refused to talk about it beyond waking up screaming in the middle of the night from time to time.
Korea was the first of these "unpleasent" wars for the US, which is why once it ends there is no attention for it.
Remember Afghanistan? Just left within a week and no one talks about it ever since.
My grandfather was in the navy and served in korea. He never talked about it. Even my mom forgets the details. The only thing he would say about his service was even back then he was disappointed with how the navy was changing over time, and how they lost their toughness, and the discipline that made them great. And this was in the 60s. I didnt even realize he was a korean vet. I knew he was in the navy, but only recently did my mom tell me how he was deployed there before he started having kids in '56.
glad you could live to see this MJ
We aim to give it the respect it deserves, thank you for sharing.
As an Italian I know nothing of the Korean War. But I think everybody should learn about "distant" wars, because the more you learn about them the more you painfully realize that, behind the unique historical events, it's always the same dynamics, the same ways of thinking that set war in motion. I think it helps being self-critical, because you look back at your own history and present times with a broader point of view.
Stalin, Soviet Union, China, Mao ZeDong, North Korea, Kim Dynasty, communism, capitalism, free elections, dictators, it has a lot to do with Italy.
the korean war is known as the forgotten war. my father served and was wounded there
The Time Ghost Army is standing by
Wouldn't be possible without you!
The last episode of this series better be titled "Goodbye, Farewell and Amen"
Last episode? This one is technically still going on…
@@davidwright7193 True, but that was the title of the final episode of the MASH tv series.
“ ….. Oh, we forgot the Vietnam war ….”

No pageantry, no long overdrawn prologue, and no unnecessary music track battling with Indy for my attention. Well done! Once more into the breach!
Sorrell Booke, best known for playing “Boss” Hogg on “The Dukes of Hazzard” was a US Army counterintelligence officer during the Korean War.
This is the first one where I'm able to be here since day one.
Same here! I only found the WWII channel when they were about halfway through.
lol, It's way better doing it week by week (as they come out). But it does lead to times of frustration, because you know what the next week's content will be about but you can't watch it yet.
Welcome aboard, we hope you enjoy it.
@@rrice1705 me too
My dad served in the US Army 2nd Division, he fought on Bloody Ridge, Heartbreak and The Punchbowl. He was Purple Heart with Oak leaf Clusters and a Bronze Star. I am looking forward to this series to match up with the stories of my youth.
Thank you very much for sharing.
He forgot to duck multiple times?
@@jeffreypierson2064 one time his company was doing "marching fire". Line up side by side, take a set number of steps, raise rifle and fire. Dad said it was so foggy you couldn't see the end of the barrel. Suddenly they were hit by return fire by what they called Chinese Burp Gun, a submachine gun with high rate of fire it sounds like a person burping. Dad was hit over 20 times on left leg from hip to ankle, but only one round went deep, the rest the medic pulled out of surface, major bruises. Too late to duck. Other time, his unit was marching and got hit with artillery barrage. They heard the in coming, hit the deck, but rounds hit so close he was flipped into the air and landed on his back. While in the air he was hit by shrapnel. Bronze Star was for action during Heartbreak Ridge and Unit Merit Badge during The Iron Triangle. I asked same question about ducking, he said it was over so quick you couldn't react fast enough, hit then heard it.
My great uncle was in the 2nd infantry division in bloody ridge in 1951. He sadly was killed there at the age of 19. I will definitely be watching. Thank you for all you do Indy!!
My late father served in WWII, Korea, and Vietnam so I will certainly be watching this as I've watched the WWII series and can't wait for the series on Vietnam...Great job.
Thank you, hope you will enjoy this series.

I was unfortunate enough to only find your WWII series a few months ago. I look forward to watching this series much more comprehensively!
He did a world war one series too. In case you didn’t know.
Same i only found his ww1 seris a few months ago as well but im gonna whath this Anyway
i kind off watched it every know and then but forgot about it, cold war is more interesting to me.
Oh man, you have some catching up to do. Treat yourself to the whole WWII series! It's worth every minute!
AND the WWI channel..."This is (the beginning of) Modern War."
Followed you since 1940. It's been one of the few constants in my life ever since i found the first episodes.
You all are about to learn more about this war than you ever learned before, I promise you. These guys and gals are fantastic historians.
Oh boy, only week 1 and it’s almost 24min. Judging by how WW2 went, these weekly episodes will be 40 min by the end😅
Keep up the great work
Another UA-cam journey has started. Wish you all the best with this series ❤

Thank you Indy for this series about the Korean War. Thousands of soldiers from Puerto Rico served and fought bravely in the US Army during the Korean War. Most of them with the 65th Infantry Regiment.
I’m very excited for this new series. TimeGhost produces consistently amazing videos!
I actually know surprisingly little about this conflict compared to WW2 so this should be a good series!
Same :) I'm not sure I could name any general etc by name
1st thing you need to know:
From a Liberal Western standpoint, this war achieved SO MUCH more than Vietnam did yet it is the Forgotten one.
2nd thing:
Do NOT believe the people who overtly credit the Americans for “what South Korea is today”. South Korea stayed a military dictatorship until the 1980s. It was by the blood of their own freedom-loving ppl that they finally became a democracy, the Americans may have stopped the North Koreans from communism-ing the whole peninsula but in true “Better ded than red” fashion they did not ‘interfere’ after 1953.
Just remember the inner layer of “America helped save half of Korea from communism” is “South Korea was ‘left alone’ as a military junta until the 1980s and it took their own people’s struggles to change that.”
@@davidw.2791 The innerest layer is "America prevented Kim Il Sung from saving us all from K-pop"
@@Dustz92 That’s a flex 😇
Indy, I began watching the Great War while doing my history masters; I am now a postdoctoral researcher, and you and the timeghost army's stuff is still my favourite historical content on youtube. The entire saga of both world wars, week by week, really is one of the greatest bits of public historical engagement I have ever seen. It's wonderful to see you giving 'the Forgetten War' the same treatment. Congradulations and many thanks.
It’s amazing how far a lot of us have come since those days of The Great War
@@indianajones4321 I didn't even know they had covered the First WW... Some day I'll go back and find that...
@@JaimeWulf it’s absolutely fantastic, and I highly recommend it!
I see, you are a post doctoral researcher who can't spell "forgotten" or "congratulations". Truly a product of the American education system.
@JB-yb4wn what makes you assume he is American? English might be his second language.
First time being around for video number 1 of the channel! I can not wait!
The invasion was so surprising and sudden that Indy didn't even have time to put on a tie.
"Oh no," said Harold.
"Here we go again," said George.
In the words of a wise old Brigadier, "Well, here we go again".
A decade of A+ content that Indy and his team should be proud of. Looking forward to another decade of UA-cam's best.
Thank you.
So much looking forward to learning a lot about this historic event. Thank you so much Indy and team for going on after WWI and WWII🙏
So looking forward to this production. My late father-in-law served with the army during this war. He never talked about it much, and came back as an alcoholic, which he was not when he entered his service. When he passed and my wife applied for his veteran's burial benefits, we found out that he had three silver stars for heroism in this war. In addition, my dad was called up in the draft to serve, but since he was married and I was just born, he was deferred. Twenty years after that, I would be drafted during the Vietnam war and was sent to Seoul, South Korea, where I served for 16 months at the United Nations Command/United States Forces Korea under the 8th Army. Part of my heart will always be with the people of South Korea.
THREE Silver Stars is really huge! He must have been a very brave man... God Bless him.
This is the first time I'll be able to be here from the very first episode of the project and I'm so excited.
New piece of history to learn about week by week. Great start for the new series.
I had two grandfathers who served during Korea. One was in the Coast Guard and came under fire while escorting a logistics convoy into Korea, while another served in the US Navy on a minesweeper.
Thank you for covering this.
As someone who joined the WW1 series late and just finished that a few months ago and who joined the WW2 series several months ago and is now on year 3 it’s very cool to be able to start the Korean War from the beginning
New war unlocked
A much-needed series, possibly even more so than WWI and WWII, because of how little it is taught here in the US. No war should ever be coined ‘forgotten’. I look forward to keeping up with it as I have for both previous series!
Like clockwork does humanity roll on towards another conflict and like clockwork are we here to learn from the mistakes they made. Thank you.
This will be personal for me as my grandfather was a WW2 and Korean War veteran in addition, my wife is Korean and she barely knows anything about the conflict but I have been a subscriber since august of 2014. I will continue to share the story as I have done for the last decade. Keep up the great work.
I have been married to a korean for forty five years. She has memories of leaving her home and marching south with thousands of other koreans. I have read quite a few books about this war. In the twenty three minutes of watching this video I learned a great deal. This is a great way to learn history.
What are some of the things you learned?
And, like, were they completely new, or just known things put together in an enlightening perspective?
I am proud to say I was here to see the first episode of the Korean War series premiere.
Thanks for being apart of the premiere!
22:47 Some of the viewers will be surprised to learn that the division was meant to be temporary and had nothing to do with regional political differences since the regional difference part didn't exist in Korea when the division began. During WWII, one of the requirements for the USSR to join the Allies was a promise to help defeat Japan. When the USSR liberated Manchuria faster than expected, and it looked like they'd reach Korea before the US could, the US side panicked and proposed a temporary division of Korea where the USSR would halt. To the US's relief, Stalin agreed.
I saw a photo in a history book showing a Red Army major, possibly a cavalryman, meeting a US Army captain at or near Kaesong in September 1945. A blond Red Army soldier is standing between them, probably an English-speaking interpreter. In a later photo of US Army and Red Army representatives meeting, the same blond man is present, but this time he is in civilian clothes.
I never thought I'd get to learn about one korea war's history while watching another one live. Talk about good timing.
In the almost 6 years since I have been watching the WW2 channel my life has changed rapidly so many times in various ways. I am really wondering how my life has changed again, when this series is over.
Korean War2 by the looks of it. North Korea currently probing South Korean positions.
Five years since the end of the Second World War and barely a year since the end of the Chinese Civil War, and a new war has started on the Korean Peninsula. A war not rage by race, ethnicity, nor religion. But by now wage by ideological differences and a growing power struggle between not only the two Koreas, but amongst the world itself. As the world splits down from East and West. As both sides knew a war was inevitable, the only question is who would strike first. And for the Koreans, after being brutally occupied by the Japanese, they too shall now fight yet again, brother against brother, in a war that will determine the outcome of the Korean Peninsula for years to come. Godspeed.
A new adventure for years to come !
Can't wait for when you guys create The Hundred Years War week by week channel.
More please, my Grandfather was on an Aircraft carrier during the Korean War. He was a great man. I always felt like the Korean War is overlooked in history classes.
Can't believe I've been watching Indy pretty much every week for a decade. Here we go again!
wow - this time im gonna be there for a full series from the very beginning -exciting stuff!
Very exciting!
Thank you, Indy, for covering this "forgotten" war.
This war never got covered much in school. Looking forward to learning about it with you lads.
For many of us, we are now on our third war of coverage with Indy. Buckle up, ladies and gentlemen. It's going to be an interesting ride. Excelsior!

It's not that "war never changes" (in fact, it does). It's that human nature always remains the same.
On the bright side there are no major wars to cover after this one...
Right guys?
Guys?
@@smalltime0 Well not really no, there hasn't been a war as big as this one since the Korean War and there hasn't been a war as big as WW2 since WW2. Hopefully that will continue.
Can't wait to wonder where the 3 years went after watching every episode of this every week for the next 3 years. Round 3 babyyyy
Good opening! As a retired US Soldier who spent his first year in the Army stationed in Korea, I am always interested in seeing how it all began. Looking forward to the rest.
Thanks for this, this is my father's war. He was one of the first British army people to arrive from Hong Kong in the Royal Artillery. So I am looking forward to discovering more about this forgotten war.
The Korean War, the Forgotten War. I spent most of my life on and off studying this war, and even now, after a hundred or more books, I still feel like I know nothing about this war. There is just too much to learn and so many different sources to only get one piece of a much larger puzzle. Truly war is hell.
@tekinfomedi That was the assumption at the time. Early 1950s Hollywood films tended to assume total subservience to Moscow. By the time of "The Manchurian Candidate" of 1962, hints of the mutual dislike between the Soviets and Chinese creep into a scene of the film, events set in 1951. By 1962 the Sino-Soviet split was apparent.
Ever since I started watching your videos in mid-2020, I felt proud whenever I was one the "first few" in your major projects, like Pearl Harbour, D-Day. And now, I'm at the beginning of a brand new war subscribed to a brand new channel. Here's "hoping" to 3 more years of bitter war and your videos covering them! Vive la TimeGhost!
This is the most brilliant History series on UA-cam.
As Korean, I'm very interested on the channel, and has been following your past wars, I'm looking forward to the quality and stories to be shared.
My Grandpa (Father side) served as infantry man during Korean war, saw battles till he was discharged due to battle wounds/injuries. My Grandpa (Mother side) served as Medic(drafted from Daegu during Nakdong Perimeter defence), assigned to Regimental units so wasn't involved in Front Line Actions, but he did see lot of aftermath of Battles.
Both passed away more than 10 years ago, but never talked about the war and their experience. I can only imagine their experience by only following the progression of War (by units - where they fought and which battle/operation they saw).
Again, Thank you for the channel and handling Korean War. Looking Forward to upcoming episodes.
I am a Korean. Just thinking about this war breaks my heart.
As an American it is very painful.
i served with rok marines in vietnam and they were the best better then ours
@@katana258 They were reputedly very efficient - ROK troops in general in Vietnam. They also had a reputation for cruelty. One account I read ( from an American source) said they distrusted the interpreters supplied to them by the South Vietnamese. So they killed them, considering them VC infiltrators, and just taught their own troops pidgin Vietnamese.
My third War with Indy. Your dedication to history is unmatched Indy!
Col. Potter said " This is my third war and it doesn't get any easier!"
It's really weird for me to come across this channel and not have an absolutely massive backlog of videos to catch up on. I watched the first world war series while I was still in highschool, binged through the WW2 channel over a few weeks a year or so ago cause I didn't even realize y'all had been doing it. Looking forwards to this, and I got the bell on so I'll know when you drop new videos!
To the Set Dresser,
I first saw that style of telephone as a young boy in the hotel were my sister's wedding reception was being held. I can remember thinking they were sooo amazing and 21st Century and here I am at the other end of time having watched your video and writing to you on my real 21st century wireless phone, what a life.
Great work 👍.
Thanks for sharing, they are quite the unique looking phones aren't they?
So exciting to see another war day-by-day series, the third such series now. So much to learn about this forgotten war!
We most likely won't be doing a day-by-day series for Korea, but rest assured you'll catch us every week with a new episode for the week-by-week coverage.
I've got to ask: WTF are those things on Indy's desk?? Telephones? Microphones? 1950's sex toys?
Yes.
Phones. And I have to ask, WHY didn't he answer one at the start of the episode!?!?
@@rrice1705 Well, it is the first episode, give it time.
Model Triffids?
@@rrice1705He was informed half an hour earlier. (Video prior to this).
Best historical educator on UA-cam. No disrespect to the many AMAZING historians on this platform, but Indy is the GOAT. I'm so excited to learn about this part of history. I must admit, I don't know very much about the particulars of this conflict.
I know so little about this conflict... this will be a treat!
Cry 'Havoc!' and let slip the dogs of war.
Thank you for bringing to life another stunning documentary series. I am ready for every new episode.

I spent a year stationed in Korea between 1991 to 1992. I was at Osan Air Base when the anti-aircraft guns were not ALL fully manned 24 / 7. On a trip to the DMZ I took me a seeing numerous tank barriers to figure out what they were. The war was just on an extended pause. I hope the extended pause continues to hold.
I just back from a 4-month stint in Seoul 3 days ago where among other things I visited the Korean War Memorial. So this video is great timing.
Sounds like it couldn't have been better timing for you!
Indy, I have been following you for 10 years now since the start of The Great War and all I can say is I can’t wait dive into this series and learn more great history!
WW1 and WW2 week by week have brought me so much joy in addition to all of TimeGhost's other content surrounding the world wars and interwar period. I was wondering what to do with myself after WW2 week by week ends but now I have the Korean War! I am looking forward to diving into a conflict I still have much to learn about. I am confident I'll get a comprehensive, in-depth, and unbiased take on it from some of the greatest historians I've had the pleasure of learning from. Thank you TimeGhost team for all that you do.
Thank you for the sweet comment!
I must admit I don't know a lot about the Korean War, especially compared to WWI & WWII prior to the awesome content you guys have produced over the past decade. So I'm definitely looking forward to these videos. They're certainly pertinent given the current situation on the peninsula with Kim Il Sung's psychotic grandson up to no good.
I'm Dusty, and THIS is my subscription to the channel!
Thanks for subscribing!
The Korean War is something I've always wanted to know more about, and so I'm super excited for the week by week coverage! Great work!
We hope you learn more with us!
