Inchon harbor was the site of a brilliantly executed amphibious Marine assault that turned the tide against North Korean forces during the Korean War. Conceived by General Douglas MacArthur, the plan landed the 70,000 Marines in X Corps 100 miles behind the North Korean lines on September 15, 1950. Within two weeks, X Corps had destroyed most of the North Korean army and had the remainder on the run.
