Crossing the 38th Parallel, Korea Peninsula
In October 1950, after routing North Korean soldiers from the southern half of the Korea Peninsula, United States general Douglas MacArthur sent troops across the 38th parallel into North Korea. In November Chinese troops entered the Korean War on the side of the North, and by early December North Korea was cleared of U.S. and South Korean troops.
