On 24 November 1950, United Nations forces launched a decisive offensive in Korea, aiming to bring the war to a close by Christmas.
Led by General Douglas MacArthur, the campaign sought to deliver a swift and conclusive victory against communist forces, driving them beyond the Yalu River.
However, the operation faced fierce resistance and unforeseen challenges, including the massive intervention of Chinese troops, which would dramatically alter the course of the conflict.
This ambitious attempt to end the war highlighted both the strategic hopes and the volatile uncertainties of a deeply divided Korean Peninsula.
