Как началась Корейская война: вторжение Севера и падение Сеула | Часть II

On June 25, 1950, North Korean artillery opened fire on positions south of the 38th parallel. An offensive had begun, intended to result in a swift victory and the unification of Korea under Kim Il Sung. The South Korean army was unprepared for the massive attack. T-34-85 tanks broke through the defenses, Seoul fell in three days, and the front rapidly retreated to Busan. Why did Stalin allow the war to begin? What were Kim Il Sung and Mao counting on? Why didn't the United States first include South Korea in its defense line and then enter the conflict under the UN flag? And how did a small area around Busan become the last chance to save South Korea? In the second episode of the documentary series: — North Korea's preparations for the offensive; — The role of the USSR and China; — The fall of Seoul and the destruction of the Han Bridge; — Truman's decision and the UN resolution; — the first American defeat at Osan; — retreat to the Pusan ​​Perimeter; — preparations for the Inchon landing.
