The Pusan Perimeter was a defensive line established by United Nations forces during the Korean War in 1950, encircling the city of Pusan (now Busan) in South Korea. It was crucial because it marked the last significant area of South Korean resistance against the advancing North Korean army, allowing UN and South Korean troops to regroup and receive reinforcements. The successful defense of this perimeter ultimately set the stage for the UN counteroffensive, which pushed North Korean forces back and turned the tide of the war.
