Explanation

The United States entered the Korean War to help repel North Korea’s invasion of South Korea. A key strategy was an amphibious landing at Inchon in September 1950, which placed UN forces behind North Korean lines and disrupted their supply routes. The United States did not use atomic bombs or offer aid to persuade North Korea to stop fighting.
