Canada in the Korean War

The Canadian Forces were involved in the 1950–1953 Korean War and its aftermath. 26,791 Canadians participated on the side of the United Nations (the third highest total of any non-Korean country, behind the United Kingdom who brought 56,000 men and the United States who brought 1,789,000 men), and Canada sent eight destroyers. Canadian aircraft provided transport, supply and logistics. 516 Canadians died, 312 of which were from combat. After the war, 7,000 Canadian troops remained until 1957 as military observers.
