It was also Canada's most significant military engagement of the twentieth century following the two world wars. \u003ci\u003eCanada and the Korean War\u003c\/i\u003e gathers leading scholars to explore the key themes and battles of a seminal yet understudied conflict. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Canada had little stake and less interest in Korea before 1950, but the risk the conflict posed to the fragile postwar order was deemed too great for the country to stand on the sidelines. Alongside their allies, more than 30,000 Canadian service personnel fought a determined and skilled enemy. The armistice that ended the war left Korea devastated and divided, and it remains a dangerous hotspot today. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This timely collection synthesizes Canadian and international perspectives on a conflict that shaped not only the Canadian armed forces but also the evolving Canada-Korea relationship.
