00:01:43,960 --> 00:01:45,and still haven't been able to stop

00:01:45,970 --> 00:01:48,Communist North Korea
from invading South Korea.

00:01:51,980 --> 00:01:54,In the North Korean capital, Pyongyang,

00:01:54,010 --> 00:01:57,a young, smiling
yet ruthless dictator reigns.

00:01:58,020 --> 00:02:00,His name is Kim Il Sung.

00:02:02,010 --> 00:02:05,He is the founder of what will be

00:02:06,940 --> 00:02:11,His regime, imposed by Stalin
when he invaded North Korea in 1945,

00:02:11,980 --> 00:02:15,relies on an army that was trained
and equipped by the Soviets.

00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:24,The Soviet Ambassador, General Shtykov,
is the country's true leader.

00:02:25,940 --> 00:02:28,Along with Kim Il Sung,
he has managed to convince Stalin

00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,that the time is ripe to invade the South.

00:02:34,010 --> 00:02:38,His ally, the head of the Chinese
Communist party, Mao Zedong,

00:02:38,020 --> 00:02:39,has given his okay.

00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:41,He said,

00:02:42,990 --> 00:02:46,"The Sino-Soviet alliance
will be the triumph of peace."

00:02:52,940 --> 00:02:55,At the United Nations,
the Security Council has condemned

00:02:55,990 --> 00:02:57,the North Korean aggression.

00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,The United States has obtained a mandate

00:03:00,030 --> 00:03:03,to lead military intervention
by a symbolic coalition,

00:03:03,980 --> 00:03:05,made up of 22 countries.

00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:10,(explosion)

00:03:13,940 --> 00:03:16,The UN forces have been dominated
by the North Korean army

00:03:16,980 --> 00:03:21,and have retreated to the port of Pusan,
under siege for two months.

00:03:23,010 --> 00:03:26,(explosion)

00:03:31,030 --> 00:03:33,In early September 1950,

00:03:33,950 --> 00:03:37,the coalition's Commander-in-Chief,
American General Douglas MacArthur,

00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,boards a battleship
flying the colors of the UN.

00:03:47,020 --> 00:03:50,MacArthur sees this as the last recourse.

00:03:50,970 --> 00:03:55,To land on the tail of the North Koreans
in Inchon, the port of Seoul.

00:03:58,030 --> 00:04:00,September 15, 1950.

00:04:01,020 --> 00:04:03,The allied fleet approaches Inchon

00:04:03,970 --> 00:04:06,with 230 battleships, mostly American.

00:04:10,940 --> 00:04:14,MacArthur has authorized the presence
of a group of international journalists.

00:04:14,980 --> 00:04:17,Among them is Henri de Turenne.

00:04:18,980 --> 00:04:19,He writes,

00:04:20,950 --> 00:04:22,"On the pink backdrop
of the breaking dawn,

00:04:23,970 --> 00:04:26,the American Marines
lay out their strength,

00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,to avenge the humiliation of the infantry.

00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,The ships slide
like pieces on a chess board."

00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,(dramatic music playing)

00:04:44,990 --> 00:04:50,(explosions continues)

00:04:58,990 --> 00:05:01,MacArthur writes in his Reminiscences,

00:05:01,990 --> 00:05:03,"The tension is extreme.

00:05:04,030 --> 00:05:08,Forty thousand men are about to throw
themselves into an audacious mission

00:05:08,020 --> 00:05:11,to save 100,000
who are fighting in the South.

00:05:11,970 --> 00:05:13,If we lose the war to Communism in Asia,

00:05:13,990 --> 00:05:16,the fate of Europe
will be gravely jeopardized.

00:05:16,980 --> 00:05:19,Win it and Europe will stay free."

00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,(gunfire)

00:05:27,980 --> 00:05:31,(soldiers shouting)

00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:33,(gunfire continues)

00:05:50,010 --> 00:05:54,(anthem music playing)

00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:03,After taking the port of Inchon,
the Marines savor their victory.

00:06:04,970 --> 00:06:06,The cameramen
take stock of the human cost.

00:06:07,940 --> 00:06:10,(somber music playing)

00:06:18,020 --> 00:06:22,Survivors of the North Korean army
have either fled or been captured.

00:06:23,020 --> 00:06:27,As always, their clothes are removed
so they can't conceal weapons.

00:06:34,970 --> 00:06:36,This is MacArthur's triumph.

00:06:37,030 --> 00:06:40,As usual, he is followed
by a swarm of journalists.

00:06:41,020 --> 00:06:44,From now on, he is nicknamed,
"The Sorcerer of Inchon".

00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:53,He pauses in front of the remains
of a Soviet T-34 tank,

00:06:53,030 --> 00:06:57,to provide proof of Moscow's involvement
in the Korean conflict.

00:06:58,940 --> 00:07:01,All the while, Stalin continues
to position himself

00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:03,as leading the fight for peace.

00:07:03,990 --> 00:07:08,He has the big European Communist parties
organize major protests,

00:07:08,020 --> 00:07:11,with slogans like
"Leave Korea to the Koreans!",

00:07:12,940 --> 00:07:14,"Stop the American assault on Korea!"

00:07:16,970 --> 00:07:18,"Hands off Korea!"

00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,North Korean leader Kim Il Sung,

00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:30,surprised by the American landing
in Inchon, has a Stalinesque-reaction.

00:07:31,940 --> 00:07:35,(speaking in Korean)
Down with American imperialism!

00:07:35,010 --> 00:07:40,Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah!

00:07:44,950 --> 00:07:48,NARRATOR: In South Korea, the UN forces'
advance to liberate the country

00:07:48,010 --> 00:07:49,has slowed down.

00:07:50,970 --> 00:07:51,(gunshots)

00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:56,Cameramen risk their lives
to film the increasingly violent combats.

00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,It takes ten days
for the UN forces to reach Seoul,

00:08:05,970 --> 00:08:07,merely 60 km from Inchon.

00:08:12,020 --> 00:08:13,(gunshots)

00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:16,Seoul, the Southern capital,

00:08:16,970 --> 00:08:20,occupied and reoccupied,
is devastated by fighting.

00:08:25,980 --> 00:08:30,Amongst the ruins, a population
of starving orphans struggles to survive.

00:08:30,950 --> 00:08:34,(somber music playing)

00:08:40,030 --> 00:08:44,The Americans discover
a horrifying number of mass graves.

00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:51,An investigative committee reveals
that 30,000 South Korean prisoners

00:08:51,970 --> 00:08:53,and 2000 American prisoners

00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,were assassinated
by the retreating North Koreans.

00:09:01,010 --> 00:09:04,Seoul. September 26th, 1950.

00:09:05,030 --> 00:09:09,The UN flag flies
on the barely intact government palace.

00:09:10,950 --> 00:09:13,(applause)

00:09:15,940 --> 00:09:18,MacArthur reinstates
the South Korean president,

00:09:18,940 --> 00:09:20,Syngman Rhee, who declares,

00:09:21,970 --> 00:09:25,"General MacArthur, we love you
as the savior of our race!"

00:09:28,950 --> 00:09:30,For Syngman Rhee, the return to peace

00:09:30,980 --> 00:09:33,means his country
will remain split in two.

00:09:34,020 --> 00:09:36,He wants to cross the 38th parallel

00:09:36,970 --> 00:09:40,which has separated
the two Koreas since 1945,

00:09:40,010 --> 00:09:44,and continue to move forward,
even without UN authorization,

00:09:44,020 --> 00:09:48,to the Yalu, the great river that creates
a natural border with China.

00:09:51,030 --> 00:09:54,The Americans indulge the South Koreans
