When the U.S. imperialists were starting the Korean War, they judged that they could easily conquer the young Democratic People's Republic of Korea, drawing on their numerical and technical superiority.

MacArthur, Ridgway, Clark, Van Fleet and other military "celebrities" of the U.S. came to the Korean War one after another.

They tried to honor themselves by launching many new large-scale military operations, such as "General Christmas Offensive", "Thanksgiving Day Offensive", "Summer and Autumn Offensives" and "Kimhwa Offensive".

However, in the three-year war those "reputed generals" could not but get disgrace as defeated generals.

All of their operational plans resulted in failure.

Gomes, ex-president of Portugal, who was the chief of staff of the Portuguese army in Macao in the period of the Korean War, said:

"At that time all the operational plans on the U.S. side turned effective after rounds of deliberations by heads of state and chiefs of staff and a number of generals of the U.S. and Western nations, its allies.

But, General Kim Il Sung crushed them all alone. Witnessing this fact, I came to realize that he is the only prominent strategist and illustrious commander in the world."
