Korean War

According to u all is Communist Side Or Aliied Side who win the war.

(I think nobody win because they keep stood in parallel 38)

But in all Communist win, because they go to war with limited eqp not like Allied n SK which have good eqp, Vehicle and Air Support. According Seceret War, US pilot gave order to shooting everything move as a target in Korean war.

PRC claim their lost only 400.000 casualties in all (KIA,WIA, and MIA)

Re: Korean War

actually we claimed lost of 300.000, which i remembered as we lost 10 people with US lost 1 person. but 300.000 is lost for only china, so if you are going to count the whole, you have to count in the lost of south korean army with the US and other people too, like...canada...
my point about korean war is, we won. since north korea wasn't defeated. and it's the best way to stay this way for two koreas, otherwise, if korea was united, they would be like viet nam too.
so, we might lost way too many people in the war. but we didn't let them put guards on yalu river. since war isn't about casulties, especialy for china, the war was won by us.

(or, like in "that 70's show", red says "we didn't lose the war, it was a tie", just joking )

Nobody won it was a draw....

North Korea wanted to unify the country by forced and failed.
US forces defended South Korea and decided that, while they are at it, they can unite the country by force.
China got nervous that 3 army corps are within its borders and lauched a counter attack.
Counter attack held by US forces somewhere around the original border.
Both sides dig in for the next 2 years.

End result, nothing changed so no winner.

Re: Korean War

no no, you have to look beyond the war. war is the elasting of politics.
does china want korea to be unified? no.
from my point of view, korean war is the great patriotic war for china, we fought the war on korea, let them take the burnt soil, and civilian damage, we gained the best interest. otherwise. after korea is defeated, US may attack china after that. in this way, we kept a safe zone between china and the west. and we hit US hard, so they will think twice next time of launchin a war on us. in that way, it's a great win for us.
as i say, for china korean war was a lost on tactics, but a victory on strategy. for US, it was a victory on tactics, but a lost on strategy.
we had achieved our goal, they didn't.

The original US goal was to defend South Korea. That they accomplished. Pushing north was MacArthur's idea and he sold it with the guarantee the China will not get involved.

China entered the war, because, as you said, they are not comfortable having a large US army on its borders. MacArthur actually went ballistic when China intervened and went so far as to advocate using nuclear weapons on China. He was fired after that.

First of all, good job on supporting the PLA in the Korean War. Now the North Korean people are starving and conditions are horribile because the Kim family is still in power. Second of all, North Korea lost, China won, and the UN won and lost at the same time. North Korea lost b/c they didn't re-unify Korea under their rule. China won because they wanted the US out of North Korea and not lingering right by their border. The UN won and lost because South Korea is still around but they never got rid of the evil Kim il-Sung.

that's what i meant, thanks.
as a person, i do feel sorry about the korean people. but as a nation, there is really nothing we could do. we can't go into korea, and remove the kim family like the US did to Iraq......
as a communist member, i put a curse on these unfaithful so called "communists".

Of course China won the Korea war, China pushed US half korea back and kept it that way. It is politically, strategically, and tactically a big faliure and huge embarassment for the US, in the years after that, the US did't all they could to wipe out this war from the memory of ordinary americans, I even belive that Hollywood was/is not allowed to make any movies about it, who saw a movie about korea war made by hollywood ? There is only M.A.S.H which is a comedy anti-war tv serie.

For China, its not only about securing the north-east border, it also shows the world that China was not the same china anyone which was once humiliated by western powers, the politic and strategic impact of korea war were profound.
It is only after korea war that the new china had 'earned' its place on the international stage and start being respected as a major power.

Uh, do you know about the movie "The Bridge at To-Ku-Ri"? (Name might be wrong.) I am not sure who made the film, but it was certainly about the Korean War.
