Theatre of War 3: Korea

A new instalment in the famous Theatre of War series allows you to replay the events of the first hot war of the Cold War era, the Korean Conflict.

North Korean ground forces crossed the 38th Parallel into South Korea at 4:30 A.M. on 25 June 1950, in an armed intervention aimed at reunification. Little did anyone realise that one of the most bitter wars the world has ever seen would ensue, with thousands of casualties on all sides over a three year period. Today, North Korea and South Korea still remain in a state of war, with a shaky ceasefire regularly interrupted by armed skirmishes. The war in Korea was a defining moment for an entire generation that continues to shape modern geo-politics.
