This year marks the 75th anniversary of the start of the Korean War. Join historian Paul Zigo for a presentation about the war and the Armistice that brought it to a halt.
The Korean Conflict has been called America’s “forgotten war” but it had a profound impact upon East-West relations during the Cold War. More than 54,000 Americans died attempting to halt the spread of Communism through South Korea. On June 25, 1950, over 90,000 North Korean troops trained and equipped by the Soviet Union poured over the 38th Parallel and invaded South Korea resulting in three years of brutal conflict. Learn via this presentation about the aspects of the war and the Armistice that brought it to a halt, an armistice still in place today.
Presented by Paul Zigo, author, military historian, and director of the World War II Era Studies Institute.
