Before the outbreak of this war, both the North and the South were actually making preparations, but the "North" completed this preparation first and took the lead. In this way, Kim Il Sung declared that the war would end within three weeks, so in the early morning of June 25, 1950, on an ordinary day that could no longer be ordinary, the "Northern" troops began the war in a pouring rain.
However, the war, which was originally claimed to end in 3 weeks, not only did not end in a short period of time, but lasted for 3 years. So, what makes war protracted?
Of course, there are many factors that have caused this situation, and among them, the Us factor is naturally the most important. Before the war came, the Soviet Union did not agree to go to war, and showed concern on the part of the Soviet Union, on the grounds that the United States did not care about China's affairs, and now it must be in charge of the Affairs of the Korean Peninsula, which means that it does not want to be involved in it.
But in early 1950, U.S. Secretary of State Acheson unveiled a plan to exclude North Korea from its far eastern defenses, a plan that was directly before the people of the world. Such a move made Kim Il Sung once again present to Stalin his plan to "go south", and this time the Soviet Union had to reconsider, after all, the Americans had made it very clear. They don't care about Korea, so the war is about to break out... (Reference: "Korean War" - Wang Shuzeng)
Although the outbreak of the war is directly related to the United States, it is also directly related to the United States that the war lasts so long. Because the policy of the United States at that time made the DPRK and the Soviet Union think that they would not take care of the affairs on the peninsula, but when the north began to attack, it was unexpected that the United States sent its air force to help South Korea the next day, and soon the army landed again.
Obviously, the United States has lost its word, and the US military has become the first foreign force to land on the peninsula, and it is precisely this point that the United States directly joined the war that was ignored before the war, which ultimately led to the protracted war.
First of all:
The accession of the United States not only broke the "North" concept of ending the war within 3 weeks, but also directly brought in 15 troops from other parts of the world, although some countries sent very few troops, but the influence was very large.
At the same time, the addition of the US military can also directly foresee what form the war will continue to unfold, after all, the United States is the most expensive in the world at that time and even now, and the comprehensive strength of a big country of this size is unmatched by North Korea. Although the United States did not have any psychological preparation at the beginning of the war and could not make all the arrangements for joining the war in a short period of time, as long as there was enough time for the United States to dispatch troops and transport equipment, then the end of the war could be imagined.
secondly:
Even if the United States did not join, it must be a bit exaggerated to want to end all the war within 3 weeks. Although south Korean troops were gradually defeated and unable to resist, the phrase "ending the war in three weeks" seemed to be more of a slogan.
Because as the KPA moved south, its military resource losses and material supplies were greatly consumed, and the supply lines became longer and longer. It should be known that the Korean Peninsula is a mountainous country, and many supply lines are built in mountain paths, and this supply method will be greatly limited by factors such as terrain. Even without U.S. intervention, the North would have wanted to win more than 3 weeks.
At the same time, we also know that the accession of our country also brought the war to a stalemate, and no one could completely defeat the other until July 27, 1953, when the peninsula, which had been tossed for three years, ushered in a day when the smoke and smoke stopped. However, China joined later than the US military, and the addition of the United States changed Kim Il Sung's vision of ending the war in 3 weeks earlier. Therefore, ignoring whether the U.S. military would join the war before the outbreak of the war became an important reason for the war to last for three years.
