North Korea

The carpet bombing of North Korea, which was carried out by the United States during the Korean War, was one of the most devastating aerial bombardments in history. Between 1950 and 1953, the U.S. military dropped over 635,000 tons of bombs on North Korea, which was more than the amount dropped during the entire Pacific campaign of World War II.

The bombing campaign was part of the U.S. strategy to break the morale of the North Korean people and force their government to surrender. The U.S. military targeted not only military targets, but also civilian infrastructure such as bridges, dams, factories, and farms. The U.S. military also used napalm, a highly flammable chemical, which burned through people's skin and caused excruciating pain.

The carpet bombing caused widespread destruction and loss of life. Estimates of civilian casualties range from 500,000 to 1 million people, with many of them being women and children. The bombing also left the North Korean economy in shambles and made it difficult for the country to rebuild after the war.

The carpet bombing of North Korea has been widely criticized for its indiscriminate and disproportionate nature. Many argue that it was a war crime and a violation of international humanitarian law. The bombing campaign has also been a source of resentment and hostility towards the U.S. in North Korea, and has contributed to the ongoing tensions between the two countries.
