The Korean War is often called America's "Forgotten War," but it played a major role in shaping the modern world. Lasting from 1950 to 1953, it involved intense battles, major international tensions, and the loss of thousands of lives-yet many people today know little about it.
This book introduces kids to the key events, people, and outcomes of the Korean War in a clear and engaging way. From the Battle of Osan to the division of Korea into North and South, readers will learn why the war began, how it unfolded, and what its lasting effects have been.
Written for ages 8 to 12, this is an accessible introduction to a lesser-known but important chapter in world history, designed to help young readers better understand the past and how it continues to shape the present.
