A period of history I have zero knowledge of: The Korean War.

A Korean creator/writer I follow has been sharing snippets of history from the Korean War and I've been agog. I know nothing.

Anyone have good book recs?

demi7en,

@w7voa Just what if the hadn't launched mass attacks against the forces in in 1951 and given the despotic kim dynasty life support over the following decades... 🧐

What would the 26 million 'DPRK' subjects think about the 'PRC' if they only knew anything...

The Chinese was quite busy after overthrowing the republic of China in 1949. The communist party's private army they insist calling the "people's liberation army" was still hard at work invading from 1950 onwards.

The neighbouring despot of the had received so much hardware from the USA during that he could afford to donate plenty to the upstarts' war efforts. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

“March of the Valiant: The Philippine Expeditionary Force to Korea”

Me: Pre-colonial times, the people of what we later known as “Filipinos” were already feared across what we know today as Asia-Pacific. Post-colonial times, Filipinos are still a force to reckon with, and they know to never wake the sleeping Philippine eagle if they want to keep the current status quo.
