Best Answer

The Korean War was not lost (technically it continues) it was stalemated.

Both sides signed armistice treaty, which means the war is still going on (you can read the orignal text; it clearly states that the war is not ended); the treaty is now overdue.

But, the result of war still shows something:

NK, which started the war, did not gain anything or lose anything

SK, did not lose its territory, so it should be the winner

US, helped SK to defeat NK, but failed to conquer entire Korean peninsula

China never declared war on US; its army was called volunteer and the goal of China was defending the border and help NK to defeat US (because US Army was very close to Yalu River, NK almost lost its all territory, and China really worried US would invade China after it conquered NK)

it's a war with no winner

There were no failures other than possibly MacArthur being relieved of command and the Red Chinese entering the war. Other than that, the communists did not obtain their objective (conquering South Korea) and the ROK (Republic of South Korea) still exists today as a thriving nation...a US/UN victory.
