The Korean War is often termed the "Forgotten War" because it received less public attention and historical focus compared to other conflicts, such as World War II and the Vietnam War. Despite its significant impact and the loss of millions of lives, the war's relatively quick conclusion in an armistice rather than a formal peace treaty led to a lack of lasting awareness. Additionally, the subsequent Cold War overshadowed it, contributing to its marginalization in collective memory and education. As a result, many people are less familiar with the events and consequences of the Korean War.
