Battle Of Inchon On The Korean Peninsula
September 15, 1950
United Nations and United States troops execute a bold amphibious landing at Inchon, on the west-central coast of the Korean peninsula, landing a large military force more than 100 miles in the rear of the North Korean Army. At nearly the same time, U.S. and South Korean forces stage a breakout from the Pusan perimeter. Within weeks, UN forces recapture the city of Seoul and the North Korean Army begins to disintegrate as it retreats northward.1
