What is the Summary this paragraph U. N. forces, under the command of U. S. Gen. Douglas MacArthur, landed at
the port of Inchon near Seoul on September 15, 1950. The landing cut off
much of the North Korean army, which was attempting to force a way into the
Pusan Perimeter. U. N. forces, breaking out from Pusan and coming south
from Inchon, were able to overwhelm the Northern troops in South Korea.
Seoul was taken by U. N. forces on September 26. U. N. forces moved north of
the 38th parallel, capturing the Northern capital Pyongyang on October 19.
Despite warnings from China that it would not accept the presence of U. N.
troops in North Korea, MacArthur continued to move his forces northward --
with the announced intention of unifying the Korean peninsula. Some U. N.
forces reached the Yalu River -- the border between North Korea and China --
on October 25.
