Why doesn't the Korean War have the same meaning or popularity as the Vietnam War?

 An indispensable event in Korean history occurred on June 25, 1950. The "Korean War" broke out to mark the beginning of the Cold War. Although my writing skills are poor, I take courage and upload it to exchange opinions. Back to the subject, why is the Korean War so much less compressed, marginalized and unknown than other wars? From a global perspective. According to a book by Cambridge, the Korean War was a pretty dangerous war that almost started World War III. One of the reasons why the Kuomintang of China was completely destroyed by Mao Zedong's Communist Party and fled to Taiwan was that the United States did not fully support him. The U.S. judged that Mao's great patriotism was rather a factor that prevented Stalin from uniting with the Soviet Union. So he thought that there would be no big loss whether Mao Zedong won or Changga Ishek won, so he left the situation as it was. But it's a miscalculation in the United States... The Korean War proved that. Even though the U.S. originally had a strategy to compete with the Soviet Union... (don't remember what it was) They said the Korean War was a factor that completely changed that strategy. (The new strategy is the Cold War) When the first war broke out in Korea, the United States didn't think it was important. On the contrary, he was relieved to hear that Syngman Rhee didn't start the war. At that time, U.S. military experts underestimated the strategic location of the Korean Peninsula and did not raise much objections. However, other experts believe that if Korea is handed over to the communist bloc, it could turn red everywhere like dominoes. We decided that it was more important to promote the anti-communist will of the United States to the whole world, and that only then would we be able to reassure our European friends. In other words, it was more important to maintain and strengthen the credibility of our European allies than to secure and strategically position the Korean Peninsula. In addition, McArthur, who was the first American soldier to taste power comparable to that of a commander-in-chief, was determined to launch a battle. The U.S. initially participated in the war just to restore the South's position, but knowing that there was no movement of the Soviet Union, the U.S. judged that the Soviet Union was afraid of the U.S. They continue to march north to show off the power of the United States to the communist states and their allies, and Mao's China accepts it as a declaration of war and enters the war. The background of this is that before the outbreak of the Korean War, the United States deployed a number of warships and fighter jets to Taiwan, as well as threatening the coast of China. So even though the American diplomat tried to convince Mao that the U.S. had no intention of invading China, Mao did not listen at all. But this is kind of a gamble for China. And by that time, China wasn't ready for a modern war, and it knew it wasn't going to have the power to go all-out with the world's superpower, the United States. So you have the Soviet Union, which is strangely not directly involved in the war. The United States was most afraid of direct Soviet intervention. If the Soviet Union launched military operations based in Eastern Europe while the United States was struggling in the Korean War, Western Europe had no power at all and this forced the United States to start an all-out scale war. If it had gone back like this, American hegemony wouldn't have existed in the first place... ...and China's unexpected achievement in the Korean War surprised the United States. At that time, the U.S. thought the Soviet Union was the only enemy, but then it realized that China's momentum was also formidable. This leaves the U.S. strategy completely in ruins... Eventually, they kept negotiating to get the status quo back into place and this ended up with a ceasefire with the 38th parallel on the border again. This war kills four million of the Korean Peninsula's 30 million population and kills tens of thousands of Chinese and American soldiers. The end result is that the United States is in a war and to make up for it, you fire Commander McArthur for some kind of domestic political reason. In other words, they put the blame for the defeat on him. The tension at the beginning of the war was so much like World War III that it almost devastated a country. So why doesn't this war have much weight? (ex. Vietnam) PS. The United States hated Syngman Rhee... I don't know if he was thinking about reunifying Korea by force, ousting Syngman Rhee, and establishing a more democratic regime... Syngman Rhee was rather tarnishing America's "democratic reputation"... Besides, I don't know what Syngman Rhee believes in, but he's so belligerent that America is in trouble. And Koreans should really have a lot of pride in their country right now. At the end of the Korean War, U.S. soldiers and experts said that the country (South Korea) was completely "devastated" and could not be created. Some said that the Korean Peninsula has become a slaughterhouse, destroying 90 percent of all villages and making it hard to find a civilization. But now that Korea has become the world's 10th largest economy despite this devastation... It's really a wonderful thing.
