The capital of South Korea is Seoul. However, Seoul is not a coastal city, so MacArthur made his landing in the city of Incheon. Incheon has since become part of the Seoul metropolitan area, but remains a distinct city.
It began in 1950 when the North Korea invaded South Korea. The Communists quickly overpowered the Republicans and captured the capital of Seoul, near to the border. They crossed through the country, eventually surrounding the area around the city of Pusan, which became known as the Pusan Perimeter. At this point, the United Nations intervened. President Harry Truman saw the Korean War as an important test of the United Nations. Both objectors (China and the USSR) were absent from the Security Council: the recent revolution meant the newly Communist China hadn't yet been included, so the USSR had boycotted the council as a result. The remaining members unanimously agreed to intervene. The first UN forces (which were mostly American) arrived at Pusan where the successfully defended the Perimeter. More forces landed at Inchon, just outside Seoul, and retook the capital. North Korea forces were forced to retreat and the invasion was repelled as quickly as it started. By the time the UN agreed to allow the war to continue into North Korea, they were already there. However, in the mountains they encountered difficult terain and a harsh winter. Chinese forces entered the North and pushed them out, eventually recapturing Seoul. Seoul was soon recaptured, but the war ended up in deadlock and trench warfare for the next two years. In 1953, a ceasefire ended the conflict.
