The Korean Peninsula became a brutal tank battlefield during the Korean War (1950-1953), with the United Nations forces led by the United States and South Korea facing off against North Korea backed by China. The rugged terrain of Korea, coupled with the determination of both sides, led to intense tank battles. The M4 Sherman and T-34 were the main tanks used by the UN and North Korea respectively, engaging in fierce clashes. The fighting was characterized by close-quarters engagements, often resulting in devastating losses. The tank battles in Korea highlighted the importance of armor, mobility, and firepower in modern warfare, leaving a lasting impact on tank development and tactics.
