Setting

The Korean War was fought in both North Korea and South Korea. While North Korea had few weapons and little technology, the United States had far more advances and supplies, giving them and their South Korean allies an advantage. North Korea had no navy. The United States, on the other hand, had a well equipped navy and was able to surround the Korean peninsula with their ships. North Korea was also lacking in well trained soldiers. The U.S troops were far more trained. However, North Korea did have one major advantage: strength in numbers. They would send out troops toward the U.S in waves, meaning that each set of soldiers sent out would go to be slaughtered, but at the same time be inching toward the U.S with each wave forcing them to fall backward. Both sides pushed back and forth invading each other’s country, causing a “tug-of-war” type warfare until they eventually balanced out.
