Korean War

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

If you are looking for a well-produced synopsis on The Korean War, this video could be for you! In just under seven minutes, the narrator takes viewers through the causes of the war, and all of the many twists and turns that occurred; including China's decision to get involved in 1952. A very good film!
