THE WAR ENDED ON JULY 27TH 1953 WITH THE SIGNING OF THE KOREAN ARMISTICE AGREEMENT. SEVERAL HISTORIC MARINE CORPS BATTLES TOOK PLACE DURING THIS CONFLICT, SUCH AS THE AMPHIBIOUS LANDING AT INCHON AND THE FREEZING BATTLE AT THE CHOSIN RESERVOIR. THE AMPHIBIOUS LANDING AT INCHON, LED BY FIRST MARINE DIVISION, WAS CONSIDERED A RISKY ATTACK DUE TO TREACHEROUS BEACH CONDITIONS AND UNPREDICTABLE SEA LEVELS. THIS WAS A TURNING POINT IN THE WAR AND ALLOWED U.S. TROOPS TO RECAPTURE THE CITY OF SEOUL. THE BATTLE AT THE CHOSIN RESERVOIR TOOK PLACE AT THE END OF NOVEMBER IN 1950 AND LASTED UNTIL MID DECEMBER.
