  1. DBWI: Chinese Intervene in Korean War

    One of the more interesting inflection points in history is the disastrous attempt by Mao to intervene in the Korean War. The Chinese tried to night march and hide their forces from UN reconnaissance, but trying to march that many men in hiding simply wasn't possible and it was clear to UN...
