Against the advice of his senior military commanders, who argued that Chinese logistics lines were already over-extended, Mao ordered another major attack, known as the Chinese Third Phase Offensive or the Chinese New Year’s offensive. Commencing on New Year’s Eve 1950, Chinese forces overran South Korean units on the 38th Parallel, causing The Third Battle of Seoul was one of the most important engagements of the Korean War. The battle started on December 31st, 1950, and ended on January 7th, 1951, with the Chinese capture of the capital of South Korea. The battle was part of the Chinese New Year's Offensive, a coordinated attack on the western defenses of the United Nations that The Third Battle of Seoul, fought from December 31, 1950, to January 7, 1951, marked a critical turning point in the Korean War. Known as the Chinese New Year's Offensive or the January-Fourth Retreat, this campaign saw the Chinese People’s Volunteer Army (PVA) launch a massive assault south of the 38th Parallel, culminating in the capture of The Third Battle of Seoul, also known as the Chinese New Year's Offensive, the January–Fourth Retreat (Korean language: 1·4 후퇴) or the Third Phase Campaign Western Sector (Chinese: 第三次战役西线; pinyin: Dì Sān Cì Zhàn Yì Xī Xiàn), was a battle of the Korean War, which took place from December 31, 1950 to January 7, 1951 around the South Korean capital of Seoul. For additional special selections of images of this period of the Korean War, with links to broader coverage, see: The Hungnam Evacuation, 10-24 December 1950. For more images of other aspects of the Chinese Offensive period of the Korean War, see: Naval Air and Gunfire Activities, 25 November 1950 - 25 January 1951; Between November 1950 and the end of fighting in June 1953, China launched six major offensives against UN forces in Korea. The most important of these began on The Third Battle of Seoul, also known as the Chinese New Year's Offensive, the January–Fourth Retreat (Korean: 1•4 후퇴) or the Third Phase Campaign Western Sector (Chinese: 第三次战役西线; pinyin: Dì Sān Cì Zhàn Yì Xī Xiàn), was a battle of the Korean War, which took place from December 31, 1950, to January 7, 1951, around the South Korean capital of Seoul. In the the PVA and the KPA launched their Third Phase Offensive (also known as the "Chinese New Year's Offensive") on New Year's Eve of 1950/51. The Korean War began with a surprise attack June 25, 1950, when eight divisions and an armored brigade (90,000 soldiers) of the North Korean People's Army (NKPA) attacked in three columns across the 38th parallel and invaded the Republic of Korea (ROK). On 23 June 1951 Jacob Malik, Deputy Foreign Minister of the U.S.S.R., made a statement in a recorded broadcast in New York implying Chinese and North Korean willingness to discuss armistice terms to end the Korean War. David Halberstam's The Coldest Winter: America and the Korean War (2007) is a good resource. I took these points from Halberstam's work: The PLA was a veteran force from its long years of war against the Nationalist Chinese forces. It had recent combat experience and it had learned to be resourceful. The Third Battle of Seoul, also known as the Chinese New Year's Offensive, the January–Fourth Retreat (Korean: 1•4 후퇴) or the Third Phase Campaign Western Sector (Chinese: 第三次战役西线; pinyin: Dì Sān Cì Zhàn Yì Xī Xiàn), was a battle of the Korean War, which took place from December 31, 1950, to January 7, 1951, around the South Korean capital of Seoul. In the Korean War - UN Intervention, Armistice, Aftermath: The coalition for North Korea fought to push the South Korean coalition forces back to the 38th parallel. Eisenhower's disinterest in continuing the war, Stalin's death, and China's inability to wage the war without Soviet assistance helped lead the negotiating teams to agree to a truce. In some of the fiercest fighting of the Korean War, thousands of communist Chinese troops launch the next two-and-a-half years. In the weeks prior to the Chinese new offensive by U.S. and Occasionally, about every 24 years, Korean New Year will occur one day after Chinese New Year because of the new moon between Korea’s midnight (15:00UTC) and China’s midnight (16:00UTC). Okay, so nearly everyone in the world has adopted the Gregorian calendar and thus celebrate new year’s day on January 1st. Between November 1950 and the end of fighting in June 1953, China launched six major offensives against UN forces in Korea. The most important of these began on Over the following year, the North Korean leadership molded the North Korean army into a formidable offensive war machine modeled partly on a Soviet mechanized force, but strengthened primarily by an influx of Koreans who had served with the Chinese People’s Liberation Army since the 1930s. Lessons and Legacy of the Korean War 1) China’s Ascent. The Korean War demonstrated China’s expanding importance as a significant participant in world politics. 2) Dynamic Proxy Conflict.
