North Korean Mines Dealt the U.S. Navy a Nasty Blow In 1950

A four-hour rescue effort managed to save 170 crew. Here s What You Need to Know: Korea was no piece of cake. At noon sharp on October 12, 1950, the minesweeper USS Pirate had just completed a busy but productive morning off the North Korean port of Wonsan when everything went wrong at once.  Hours earlier, the small, 625-ton vessel had led the five ships of Mine Division 32 based in Sasebo, Japan through two belts of contact mines laid in a channel just one mile wide, and fourteen miles long leading into Wonsan Harbor in North Korea.  At the time U.N. troops were on the offensive following a successful amphibious landing at Inchon on the western coast of the Korean peninsula. Therefore, a second landing called Operation Tailboard at Wonsan on the eastern coastline was planned. But that meant the minefields barring access to Wonsan had to be cleared first. 

North Korea and China Accused America of Biowarfare During the Korean War

North Korea and China Accused America of Biowarfare During the Korean War Although little remembered today, here is how these shocking allegations were investigated and why such propaganda remains un-retracted to this day. 2021 marks seventy-one years since the beginning of the Korean War, a bloody conflict which saw the loss of nearly forty-thousand Americans and ten percent of the Korean population. Despite this massive loss of life and the physical decimation of the Korean peninsula, it is criminally under-researched. Its place in history, sandwiched between the catastrophic Second World War and the devastating Vietnam War, has caused it to be buried by the tragedies of its immediate predecessor and successor in time. However, during the Korean War peace talks, claims by communist forces that accused the American forces of violating the Geneva Convention took the world by storm, only for the false accusations to be forgotten in just a few generations.
