TheForgottenWar(잊혀진 전쟁)

EricKwon[ScarsdaleHighSchool, NY]]

My 8th-grade social studies teacher looked around her classroom, staring down sweaty, uncomfortable middle schoolers just waiting for that sweet, sweet sound of the bell.

That whole month we had been studying the Cold War, the decades-long struggle for supremacy between the US and the Soviet Union.

“Class,” she began, “let’ s start our lesson. The first militarized action in the Cold War happened during the Korean War. Who can tell me more about the Korean War?” I looked around. Confused, even startled looks stamped every face in the room. —

According to the U.S. Department of Defense, the Korean War is often referred to as the “Forgotten War,” the little skirmish that was sandwiched between infamous WWII and the long and arduous Vietnamese War.

However, the Korean War should not be overlooked as just some blip in the timeline, nor the troops and civilians killed and millions of families torn apart be seen as just statistics in the history books. The actual story of the Korean War stems deeper, and the tension, the struggle for supreme ideologies, and the fear driving the Cold War all led up to the war that never truly ended.

Following the end of WWII, at the Potsdam Conference, the 38th parallel was drawn, roughly dividing the Korean peninsula into the North and the South.

The US Department of State tells us that this division was meant to be temporary, only

serving so that the US and Soviet Union could oversee the removal of Japanese forces from Korea. We all know what happened to that “temporary” part.

After America withdrew from South Korea in the late 1940s, North Korea, assuming America did not find South Korea of vital importance, struck. On June 25, 1950, the Northern Korean People’ s Army invaded South Korea, their aim being to unify the Korean peninsula under Communist rule to further spread its influence, a goal that had fed the Cold War, and nearly succeeded.

However, President Truman of North America would not let South Korea fall. America had been trying to contain the spread of Communism during the Cold War, and yet another country falling to it would continue the domino effect.

According to the Truman Library, the USA appealed to the United Nations Security Council, and 16 nations went to the aid of South Korea, led by

General MacArthur of WWII. The foreign intervention proved to be invaluable. On September 15, 1950, UN forces landed at the port city of Incheon and not only pushed North Korea back to the 38th parallel but also kept advancing, all the way up to the Chinese border. This provoked China, whose intervention saved North Korea and allowed them

previous talks of peace, an armistice, an end to arms, was signed on July 27, 1953. The DMZ, or demilitarized zone, was set up across the 38th parallel. This armistice was never actually an official end to the war, and the demilitarized zone still stands today as ironically one of the most militarized borders on Earth. To this day the Korean Peninsula is split, and North Korea continues to radiate the tension that had fueled the Cold War and spread fear of potential nuclear war across the US and the world.

According to the History Channel, though the Korean

changing front lines and the numerous bombings and massacres. My grandfather (bless his soul) had to flee to the southeast corner of South Korea, Busan, to escape the air bombings when he was around my age.

Moreover, according to the Korean Red Cross, nearly 10 million families were displaced, scattered, and separated, many never seeing each other again, and some still searching.

Imagine that. A so-called forgotten war not even worth mentioning in history books tore apart ten million of the most sacred bonds in life. Children separated from mothers.

“…TheKoreanWar, theForgottenWar, whateveryouwanttocallit, shouldnotbeoverlooked, andnowarshouldbeforgotten. Theloss andpainthatanywarcausesshouldnotbetakenlightly.

to push back. Continued foreign aid on both sides ended up with a stalemate at the 38th parallel, which was accomplishing nothing. Both sides were growing weary and sought an end to the war, and finally, after

War lasted only 3 years, during that time around 5 million people on all sides were killed. Of those deaths, around 2 million of them were innocent Korean civilians who were killed because of constantly

Husbands searching for their wives. Siblings yearning for their parents. So much loss and grief. So much pain.

I learned from the Korean War a valuable lesson - Don’ t just think of the numbers.

It's easy to see the deaths and the families ripped apart as just statistics on paper, especially since the Korean War was just a“small skirmish.” However, I learned to realize that’ s never the case, and I try to imagine the loss, the fear that any war brings, even during my research. There were children my age and younger forced to flee their homes, children who were separated from their parents and lived out their lives searching. This is happening even now, namely, the wars that are currently happening in Israel and Ukraine. It’ s easy to take a look at Apple News and see the recent headlinehundreds dead, thousands forced to flee. It’ s easy to look at it in a “good side, bad side” kind of way. But that’ s not how it is at all, and everyone: children, parents, soldiers, civilians, deserve a chance at the peace and security that I’m so blessed to have. It all seems so far away, but now I realize how resilient these people truly are, struggling against something I couldn’ t even imagine.

The Korean War, the Forgotten War, whatever you want to call it, should not be overlooked, and no war should be forgotten. The loss and pain that any war causes should not be taken lightly. We should not forget Korea’ s sacrifice, a pawn torn apart in the tension between bigger nations in a larger war it wanted no part of. We should not forget how division, and separation, create a rift in unity - as time went on North and South Korea and their citizens have become completely alien to each other. I vow to always remember the Korea that once was, to see past the borders and the hatred, and to remember the lives of the citizens, the soldiers, the families, the people that define Korea. Thank you.
