Sometimes called the Battle of Chosin Reservoir, this major battle of the Korean War took place from November 26, 1950, until December 13, 1950. Chosin took place on some of the toughest terrain during harsh winter conditions. In addition to the enemy, service members faced frozen ground, frostbite conditions, icy roads, and weapon malfunctions.
Combat took place around the frozen Chosin reservoir and in the rugged mountains of Korea. This was the first major engagement between the US X Corps and the People’s Volunteer Army (PVA) 9th Army, organized by China’s Chairman Mao Zedong.

The name alone is a mouthful, but the fact is that without Charles Cornwallis, the American Revolution might’ve had a very different ending.
Lord Charles Cornwallis (December 31, 1738 – October 5, 1805) served as Lieutenant General for the British Army. He led the British campaign to capture Virginia and the Carolinas during the American Revolution. As you probably know, the British were quick to win early victories in the earliest days of the American Revolution. In fact, Cornwallis is credited with winning decisive battles in both Long Island and New York City before moving south.
