* The Korean War is often referred to as the Forgotten War.
* It usually doesn't receive as much attention as World War II or the controversial Vietnam War which followed it.
* The Korean War was the first real conflict of the Cold War period where a combined United Nations military force made up of mostly American troops intervened when communist North Korean troops backed by the Soviet Union invaded South Korea.
* Students will learn about the background and causes of the Korean War, major battles like Inchon and Choisin Reservoir, and major figures like Truman, Stalin, MacArthur, and Kim Il-sung.
* Our resource provides ready-to-use information and activities for all students in grades five to eight.
