      1950 Chinese counterattacks in Korea change nature of war

      In some of the fiercest fighting of the Korean War, thousands of
communist Chinese troops launch massive counterattacks against U.S. and
Republic of Korea (ROK) troops, driving the Allied forces before them and
putting an end to any thoughts for a quick or conclusive U.S. victory. When
the counterattacks had been stemmed, U.S. and ROK forces had been driven
from North Korea and the war settled into a grinding and frustrating

stalemate for the next two-and-a-half years.
