The “ashes” of World War II were still smoldering as two conflicting ideologies collided in a far-away country, Korea, occupied by the Soviet Union and the United States. North Korea was influenced by its communist neighbor and in 1950 launched an invasion of South Korea. The “seesaw” war continued for three years until a ceasefire was agreed to in July 1953. In commemoration of the 70th anniversary of the Korean War Armistice, and in partnership with the United States Army Heritage and Education Center (USAHEC), U.S. Army War College (USAWC), we present two virtual panel discussions. In the morning program, Conrad Crane, USAWC Faculty, will discuss the war’s overall strategic and operational efforts, and Kaleb Dissinger, USAHEC Curator, will discuss the USAHEC collections that are available online and in person. The afternoon session will address some of the changes that occurred during this time, specifically, the changing roles of African Americans and women in the military presented by Michael Lynch, USAWC Faculty, and Britta Granrud of the Military Women’s Memorial.
