Korea: The Forgotten War
威尼斯人娱乐场 Museum
Online
The 鈥渁shes鈥� of World War II were still smoldering as two conflicting ideologies collided in a far-away country, Korea, occupied by the Soviet Union and the United States. North Korea was influenced by its communist neighbor and in 1950 launched an invasion of South Korea. The 鈥渟eesaw鈥� war continued for three years until a ceasefire was agreed to in July 1953. In commemoration of the 70th anniversary of the Korean War Armistice, and in partnership with the United States Army Heritage and Education Center (USAHEC), U.S. Army War College (USAWC), we present two virtual panel discussions.
The afternoon session will address some of the changes that occurred during this time, specifically, the changing roles of African Americans and women in the military presented by Michael Lynch, USAWC Faculty, and Britta Granrud of the Military Women鈥檚 Memorial.
The morning session is at 11 a.m.
