| Battle of Inchon | The Battle of Inchon (code name: "Operation Chromite") was a decisive 15-day invasion and battle during the Korean War. The battle began on September 15, 1950, and ended around September 28. During the amphibious operation, United Nations (UN) forces secured Inchon, and broke North Korean control of the Pusan region through a series of landings in enemy territory. The UN ground forces were predominantly U.S. Marines, and were commanded by U.S. Army General Douglas MacArthur. The Battle of Inchon ended a string of victories by the invading North Korean People's Army (NKPA) and began a counterattack by United Nations forces that led to the recapture of Seoul. The northwards advance ended when China's People's Volunteer Army entered the conflict in support of North Korea, and defeated UN forces at the Battle of Chosin Reservoir. (references) | ||
| Inchon (film) | Inchon is a 1981 movie directed by Terence Young about the Battle of Inchon during the Korean War. The movie was panned by reviewers as overpriced and poorly acted. In total the movie, filmed over five years, lost an estimated $44.1 million. One of the major financial backers of Inchon was the Unification Church. Sun Myung Moon, the church's founder, was a "Special Advisor" to the film. After hearing that the movie was backed by the Unification Church, the United States Department of Defense, which had supplied 1,500 troops as extras, withdrew support for the movie.
