The Battle of the Naktong Bulge was a significant conflict during the Korean War, occurring from August 31 to September 15, 1950. It involved United Nations forces, primarily from the United States, defending against a major offensive by the North Korean People's Army. The battle took place along the Naktong River, where UN troops aimed to hold their positions against overwhelming enemy forces. Despite being outnumbered, the UN forces successfully repelled the North Korean advance, preventing them from breaking through to the vital supply lines. This battle was crucial in stabilizing the front lines and allowed for subsequent counteroffensives, including the successful Incheon Landing later that month.
