The Korean War: Fire And Ice - 75th Anniversary Film History Livestream
From The History Channel:
The Korean War was a war of firsts: The first jet war; the first war where it was not possible to unleash full power politically or militarily and the first battlefield of the Cold War. Lasting three years it took more than 2000000 military and civilian lives in it's bloody wake. Setting all the rules for East/West conflict during the nuclear age brought an unknowing world closer to an all-out atomic war than has ever been told. Historians battle veterans and archival footage reveal the pain glory and pathos of the war. DISC ONE: The Making of a Blood Bath / Triumph to Tragedy DISC TWO: Retreat from Hell / Bitter Standoff Produced by Lou Reda Productions Inc. Executive Producer for History: Charlie Maday.

Runtime: 3 hours

During and after our program there will be opportunities to discuss the film with fellow participants via Zoom.

The Korean War was fought between North Korea and South Korea from 1950 to 1953. The war began on 25 June 1950 when North Korea invaded South Korea following clashes along the border and rebellions in South Korea. North Korea was supported by China and the Soviet Union while South Korea was supported by the United States and allied countries. The fighting ended with an armistice on 27 July 1953.
The Korean War was among the most destructive conflicts of the modern era, with approximately 3 million war fatalities and a larger proportional civilian death toll than World War II or the Vietnam War. It incurred the destruction of virtually all of Korea's major cities, thousands of massacres by both sides, including the mass killing of tens of thousands of suspected communists by the South Korean government, and the torture and starvation of prisoners of war by the North Koreans. North Korea became among the most heavily bombed countries in history. 1.5 million North Koreans are estimated to have fled North Korea over the course of the war.
