Korean War - 1950 to 1953 In-Person

Though often overlooked, the Korean War profoundly shaped East-West relations during the Cold War. More than 54,000 Americans lost their lives defending South Korea against Communist expansion. On June 25, 1950, over 90,000 North Korean troops—trained and equipped by the Soviet Union—crossed the 38th Parallel and invaded South Korea, triggering three years of brutal conflict. Join us for this presentation to learn about the war's key aspects and the armistice that halted the fighting — an agreement that remains in effect today.
Presented by Paul Zigo, Director WW2 Era Studies
