Major Battles
Operation Killer- February 20th- March 6th 1951
After the landing in Inchon, the 8th Army launched Operation Killer. This was designed to attack the Communist troops in the eastern part of the country. It succeeded, but the Communists were already withdrawing northward. Thus it failed to capture large number of Communist troops that was part of the plan.
Operation Roundup- February 15th 1951
he next attack was in the center of the country, where the X Corps and the ROK III Corps launched Operation Roundup. It found the going difficult against the Chinese troops there. In fact, the Chinese launched what was known as their fourth offensive, the Battle of Chipyoongi.
Inchon-
The battle began on September 15, 1950, and ended September 19. Through a surprise amphibious assault far from the Pusan Perimeter that UN and South Korean forces were desperately defending, the largely undefended city of Inchon was secured after being bombed by UN forces. The battle ended a string of victories by the invading North Korean People's Army. The subsequent UN recapture of Seoul partially severed NKPA's supply lines in South Korea.

Prompt:
Some implications that I can draw about these major battles of the Korean War is that each of these had something to do with the next thing that happened. One battle might of caused a retaliation for another person or an ally. Making it seem like each of these battles were extremely important to the Korean War.
