In September 1950, General Douglas MacArthur reversed the course of the Korean War with a surprise amphibious landing at which port city?
The answer is B: Inchon
Code-named Operation Chromite, the September 15, 1950 landing at Inchon put U.N. forces deep behind North Korean lines despite the port's extreme tides and seawalls. The 1st Marine Division led the assault, and Seoul was recaptured by September 28. The landing forced the North Korean army into a headlong retreat from the Pusan Perimeter and remains a textbook example of operational surprise.
