Detailed explanation-1: -UN forces, having been repeatedly defeated by the advancing KPA, were forced back to the “Pusan Perimeter", a 140-mile defensive line around an area on the southeastern tip of South Korea that included the port of Busan.
Detailed explanation-2: -The war ended up being a see-saw affair that saw the UN forces retreat from North Korea to the Pusan perimeter in southeastern Korean and then forge forward again across the 38th parallel only to be driven south once more by the Chinese forces.
Detailed explanation-3: -American planes began destroying bridges and roads that the North Koreans were using in their advance. U.S. medium tanks and other military hardware were also streaming into Pusan’s port, giving perimeter soldiers more of what they needed to hold back the invading troops.
