On June 25, 1950, military forces of North Korea attacked the Republic of Korea (South Korea). It was a surprise attack and initially had great success. A flanking move by UN forces under US General MacArthur, landed troops in Inchon behind enemy lines. This forced a North Korean retreat, however, with the help of the Peoples Republic of China the war continued.
