You’re probably thinking of Vietnam. Although even that, to say it was “for the French” would be a massive exaggeration. French Indochina ended before the start of the Vietnam War (known locally as the American War) proper, and France regaining its former colonies was never on the table, no matter the outcome. American foreign policy at the time was staunchly anti-imperial. Or at least anti the form of explicit imperialism Europe had engaged in over the 18th, 19th and early 20th centuries.
You are right it was mainly Vietnam. Except I had a friend whose dad fought side by side with the french in Korea. Looking it up they didn’t have a huge force there but were present.
Sure, but that’s because, as said, the Korean War was fought by the United Nations. A huge number of countries were involved in a small way. It was certainly not “for the French”.
For the French.
Korea had nothing to do with France.
