AB - Today, many people are forgetting our tragic history of the Korean War, and although many of the battles on the battle lines around the Nakdong River each have its meaning, only studies on some areas are the main ones. In this situation, this study focused on the western and southern regions led by the U.S. military, which were relatively unknown on the battle lines around the Nakdong River, and among them, this study paid attention to the defensive battle of Masan between August and September 1950 when the 25th U.S. Division fought against the 6th and 7th North Korean People’s Army(NKPA) Divisions to defend Masan, the gateway to the temporary capital Busan. First, the process of the defensive battle of Masan was divided into three stages(reconnaissance battle in the west of Masan, counterattack operation by the Kean Special Task Forces, and battle in the northwest of Masan during the September offensive of NKPA) and examined them. And then this study examined the characteristics and importance of the defensive battle of Masan in three aspects(geographical characteristics, fierce mountain battles, and combined operations) and also thought about why it did not receive relatively much attention compared to other battles. Finally, this study made a proposal that considered the importance of this battle. Through this re-examination, this study attempted to properly inform the defensive battle of Masan, which is relatively less known than other battles in the history of the Korean War, and by reconsidering the significance and importance of the battle, this study tried to make the community and other people aware that it was as meaningful as other battles. When discovering and remembering these forgotten battles, the noble spirit of the patriots who wanted to protect the country will continue to the next generation.
