On September 15, General Douglas MacArthur conducted an amphibious landing at the city of Inchon ( Song Do port ).
The North Korean army collapsed, and within a few days, MacArthur's army retook Seoul ( South Korea's capital ).
He then pushed north, capturing Pyongyang in October.
But the Chinese intervened the following month, driving the UN forces south again.
MacArthur then planned for a full-scale invasion of China, but this was against the wishes of President Harry S. Truman and others who wanted a limited war.
He was dismissed and replaced by General Matthew Ridgeway.
The war then became a bloody stalemate for the next two and a half years while ceasefire negotiations dragged on.
