The Battle of Inchon was a significant military operation during the Korean War, taking place in September 1950. Led by General Douglas MacArthur, United Nations forces launched an amphibious assault on the port city of Inchon, located on the west coast of Korea. The operation aimed to cut off North Korean supply lines and recapture the capital, Seoul. The battle began on September 15, 1950, and was marked by its surprise element and challenging tides. The successful landing allowed UN forces to push back the North Korean army, leading to the recapture of Seoul by late September. This operation was a turning point in the war, shifting momentum in favor of the UN forces.
