## War Aims

With the royal union of Seoul and Busan, many of the established 5-state Korean system felt threatened by the consolidation of the two largest powers on the peninsula. After Korea's once proud navy was destroyed in a conflict with Bohai in 299, that fear came to fruition. Seoul and Busan declared a "unification war" in January of 300, an effort to unify the peninsula under one flag and one king. After an appeal by Hamgyong and Pyongan to Manchuria and Kyushu for intervention, Seoul and Busan paid hefty sums to keep those two regional powers out of the war. Minor rebellions rose in Seoul and Busan to protest the unification, while rebels rose up in Korea in favor of the unification.

## Battles

Battle of Daejeon: An entire rebel division rose in Daejeon on January 16th, raiding weapons caches and capturing Korea's II Corps HQ. The 3rd and 4th Division of Korea were immediately forced out of the city, facing heavy losses. Knowing that Busan could reinforce the rebels within 3 days, Korea needed to act fast to save its capital. By the night of the 17th, the capitol building was burning. Their forces were unable to penetrate the city. Korea pulled the 8th Division off of border defense to add forces to the attack. The 9th and 6th Divisions moved north from their staging areas. The divisions arrived on the 19th, and the rebels began to crumble. Later that day, however, the 5th and 9th Divisions of Busan arrived and unleashed artillery on the Korean forces. As street fighting dragged on, Busan's 8th Division arrived on the 22nd. Soon half the city was in rubble or burning. Rebels used refugee flows as cover for their movements. Korea's 8th, 6th, and 9th Divisions withdrew to higher ground outside the city to regroup on the 26th. Later that day, an assault by Busan's 8th Division cut off Korea's 3rd and 4th Divisions, routing them. Korean troops began surrendering in droves. A reactionary counterattack by Korea's forces outside the city was quickly thrown back. The capital was fully occupied on the 30th, with the rebels incorporated into Busan's units.

* Casualties:
	+ Busan: 3,980
	+ Rebels: 12,730
	+ Korea: 31,970
	+ Civilians: 13,753

Battle of Gwangju: On January 25th, the Second Korean Rebel Division rose in Gwangju, but was hastily dispersed by Korea's I Corps. The remaining troops fought to harass Korean forces until late February.

* Casualties:
	+ Korea: 4,560
	+ Rebels: 8,730

Battle of Cheongju: On January 26th, as Korean forces were being routed 15 miles to the south, Korea's IV Corps HQ was captured by Busan's 6th Division.

* Casualties:
	+ Busan: 116
	+ Korea: 1,530

Battle of Cheonan: Now nearly cut off from the southern half of the country, Korea's 5th Division was forced to hold in Cheonan. As Seoul's entire IV Corps came within 10 miles of the city, the division's commander surrendered. After a few rogue units attempted a last stand, the battle ended on the 31st of January.

* Casualties:
	+ Seoul: 99
	+ Korea: 206

Battle of Mokpo: A new rebel division, rising in the southern part of Korea, entered Mokpo on January 30th. They scuttled the Korean fleet at harbor and asserted dominion over the town.

* Casualties:
	+ Korea: 1,013
	+ Rebels: 1,015

Battle of Wonju: Seeing Korea crumbling in early February, rebels rose in eastern Seoul to demand withdrawal. Two regiments arose in Wonju and were quickly rounded up and eliminated by Seoul's 5th and 17th Divisions.

* Casualties:
	+ Seoul: 2,430
	+ Rebels: 5,440

Battle of Donghae: In the only successful rebellion of eastern Seoul, the 5th Rebel Regiment caught Seoul's 9th Division off guard, forcing it to withdraw from the city. They held Donghae for a week, before being crushed by Seoul's 7th Division.

* Casualties:
	+ Seoul: 5,699
	+ Rebels: 2,720

Battle of Gangneung: In another unsuccessful rebellion of eastern Seoul, the 7th Division crushed a regiment of rebels in Gangneung.

* Casualties:
	+ Seoul: 940
	+ Rebels: 2,720

Battle of Chuncheon: Attempting to help northern Korean states, another rebel regiment rose up in late February in Chuncheon, inflicting more casualties than any other rebel regiment, but failing to secure the city.

* Casualties:
	+ Seoul: 6,010
	+ Rebels: 2,720

Battle of Jeju: In the only case of defection during the war, half of the garrison of the island of Jeju defected to the United Korea alliance on Febuary 27th. They managed to secure the island by March 5th.

* Casualties:
	+ Korea: 8,440
	+ Rebels: 6,230

Battle of Pyongyang: On March 1st, facing the entirety of Busan's army and half of Seoul's, along with increasing instability, Korea surrendered. The north Korean states of Pyongan and Hamgyong, having set up strong defenses along the border, were convinced an assault would come. It soon did. Transports of the combined Seoul and Busan fleet landed Seoul's VII and VIII corps at Nampo on March 14th. The forces then marched on Pyongyang without encountering resistance, and took the city in 48 hours. By the 15th, Busan's full army had arrived on the border, and more of Seoul's troops were pouring into Nampo. Pyongan and Hamgyong surrendered.

## Aftermath

In only two months, the combined forces of Seoul and Busan overwhelmed all three of the smaller states on the Korean Peninsula. With a well-used small technological advantage and a large numbers advantage, the war was relatively painless. In this way, the new state of United Korea became a regional power.
