Korean War The Korean War took place right after World War 2 and right before the Vietnam War. The Australian soldiers also took part in this war. The war was taken place in between North Korea and the United Nations [UN]. It was against communism. South Korea was against communism and North Korea wasn’t.

This war was almost forgotten and it is sometimes called the ‘forgotten war’ because it happened after World War 2 which is very important in the timeline of Australia. There wasn’t supposed to be a war but when the North Koreans attacked South Korea’s capital ‘Seoul’ on June 25th 1950, they decided to have war.

The war took 3 years to end. It started on 1950 and ended on 1953. This was because the peace talks took approximately 2 years and 17 days. The war didn’t take too long and it wasn’t the shortest either.

Over 16 nations were sent to war. Some of the countries that were sent to war was US, Canada, Australia New Zealand, France, Greece, Turkey, Netherlands, Philippines, Thailand, United Kingdom [UK], Belgium and so on. All these countries were on South Korea’s side and they were all against

communism. China, Russia and some of the other countries were all on North Korea’s side and they were all communist countries.

Over 3 million people died in that war but a unit called M.A.S.H which is the short form of Mobile Army Surgical Hospitals had been running during that war. When a soldier reaches that unit, that soldier has 97% of chance of survival.

The war led to nothing but it prevented communism spreading into South Korea. The war had a massive impact on the Australians because it reduced the population of Australia a lot.
