The War The North Korean Leader, Kim Il Sung, wanted to unite the Korean peninsula. In the Spring of 1950, he moves his troops into the South. They soon have pushed through all the way to the city of Pusan.

United States joins the War. In September of 1950, US troops land in Inch’on, which is North of Pusan. They cut off the supply lines to the North Koreans, and the North Koreans who were South of Inch’on surrendered.

United States Scores big victories. They are able to push the North Koreans all the way up to the Yalu River, on the border of China.

China gets involved With the help of Chinese troops, North Korean forces are able to push the United States back down to around the 38th Parallel.
