  2. Video Activity From the video, what were some of the challenges faced by the American soldiers? Why do you think the Korean War is often referred to as the Forgotten War?

  3. Challenges Faced By Americans Harsh weather conditions – treacherous cold and blinding snow-storms. Chinese soldiers had advantage as they were more familiar with fighting in jagged mountains and forested ravines.

  4. Casualties in the Korean War

  5. This young woman was killed moments before, doubtless by stray or inadvertant fire from advancing UN forces, as she struggled through soaking brush, desperately seeking safety for her small family. Hair still neatly parted, she lies where she fell backwards into an irrigation ditch. Her arms, no longer able to hold and protect, thrown wide in death.

  6. It is inescapable that the terrible fate of the South Korean capital and many villages is the outcome of a new technique of machine warfare. The slightest resistance bought down a deluge of destruction, blotting out the area. Few people can have suffered so terrible a liberation.
