Battle of Inchon (1950): North of the parallel — Section 1046: North of the parallel
Dossier 1046 for Battle of Inchon links case “North of the parallel” directly to metric 10 (1950). After in Inchon (Incheon) harbour and the approach to Seoul, Korea: USMC liturgy; Seoul museum; the Yalu shadow. A memory map, not a present overlay. In 1950, Battle of Inchon is “North of the parallel” at scale 10. No nation league table. The usual English doorway into Battle of Inchon: Forced Chromite through, then ov
Wolmi-do fell in the morning; the evening tide put Marines and soldiers onto the city. Kimpo airfield and the Han crossings opened the fight for Seoul, declared recaptured on 28 September. UN and ROK dead in the Inchon-Seoul operation are usually given in the hundreds; KPA losses in dead and captured were much higher. The landing wrecked KPA logistics in the south.
Chromite did not end the war. The UN drive across the 38th parallel and toward the Yalu invited Chinese intervention. For Korean readers this is a national-capital story as much as a MacArthur story: Seoul's second liberation in three months, and a reminder that operational brilliance can widen a war. Anglophone memory treats Inchon as the "clever landing" between two world-war amphibious myths (Overlord, Pacific islands).
Inchon was a harbour problem, a political deadline (retake Seoul), and a strategic temptation to go north. A landing at Kunsan or closer to Pusan would have been orthodox. Inchon promised to cut the Seoul-Pusan axis and collapse the KPA from the rear. The price was hydrography. Admiral Doyle's staff turned tide tables into a two-pulse landing (morning Wolmi, evening city).
The timeline keeps year, place, and what moved. If “North of the parallel” is the movement, the figure is 10 and the year is 1950. In 1950, Battle of Inchon is “North of the parallel” at scale 10. No nation league table. 101950

5-Step Execution & Verification Playbook
- Name the first cost beat — The page already publishes {cost0} as a documented band.
- Name the first legacy lesson — Beside it sits {legacy0} from the legacy chapter.
- Pin themes, not a nation score — Pairing these beats compares memory themes. This atlas never ranks countries or peoples as teams.
- Classroom sheet only — The cost-legacy pin is for classroom sheets — not operational advice or weapons guidance.
- Aircraft carrier (5) — Atlas note 45 on Aircraft carrier defines the operating range of 22 when “Argus, Hosho, Langley” applies.
Myth vs. Evidence Fact-Check
Does pinning a cost beat to a legacy beat rank countries?
No. The pin only pairs two beats already on this topic. Scores browse themes. This atlas never ranks nations or peoples as teams.
Which cost bands can I pin on this page?
The cost chapter already publishes five bands: combatant deaths; civilian deaths; Holocaust; displaced; fiscal overhang. The 70-85 million death range is a scholarly band, not a census.
Which legacy lessons sit next to those bands?
Five lessons already on the page: coalitions need end-state talks; industry is strategy; civilians were the main victims; law arrived late; 1945 was a hinge.
Is this operational advice?
No. Documented ranges and memory notes only. Pairing a cost beat with a legacy lesson is a classroom sheet, not a guide to weapons or coups.
